Heistel Delhi - Backpacker Hostel in New Delhi - South, India

Just what we needed for our first night in Delhi. Spacious en-suite rooms at a reasonable price. It's near the metro station, so easy to make it into town. And the area seemed safe. The rooftop terrace with pool table and ping pong is cool. Perhaps not the most sociable hostel for single travellers, but not an issue for myself and my girlfriend

I had an unforgettable stay at Heistel Delhi during my trip to India. After a disappointing experience with other hotels, I was relieved to find a place that not only met but exceeded my expectations. The reception staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome, and the daily cleaning of the rooms and bathrooms ensured a comfortable and hygienic environment throughout my stay. One highlight of Heistel Delhi was the option to enjoy affordable, delicious vegetarian meals upstairs. This convenience added a delightful touch to my experience. Additionally, the free WiFi offered during my stay was a great feature that allowed me to stay connected easily. They offered me an additional 6-hour stay free of charge to match my flight time. This gesture truly showcases their commitment to their guests' comfort and convenience. Heistel Delhi comes highly recommended for a remarkable stay in Delhi. It's not just a hotel it's a home away from home.

Heistel Delhi cons: 1. To start with, the place gave major major bad vibes the moment I stepped in the place. 2. The person at reception was not welcoming and rude. 3. The condition of room and bathroom was pathetic. (Pictures attached) 4. So these days, hostels have this new trend going on I guess, where, they have private rooms/dorms with and without attached bathroom. While this didn't quite sit well with me but I accepted the fact, that this maybe new norm. But what's not acceptable is the pathetic dirty condition of common bathrooms. (Pictures attached) 5. Apparently, they'd give food service to those guests that are staying in private rooms, so despite of being staying in private room, the food service was denied because they're short on staff but just half hour back from that incident, i myself saw the person coming to serve a foreigner and when confronted, they'd say there's language barrier. Unjustified reason for a guest paying money for private rooms where they offer all such said services. 6. THE PLACE GAVE SUCH BAD, NEGATIVE, SCARY VIBES. Bold and clear. 7. The place in general was dirty. 8. It gave such bad vibes, I would want to come to the hostel only to sleep and fresh and stay out rest of the time. That too because I paid and had no other option! 9. The people sitting at reception were less informed about the major happenings of their own city. 10. Luring customers into giving them private rooms when they booked dorms and not clarifying at the same time that the private room doesn't come with attached bathroom is not a sign of good host. 11. Food was 2/5 All in all, I would rather pay a little extra and stay in clean and nice bnb or good hotel than waste my money on this hostel. 12. Bathroom tap was not in good condition and gutter had clogging issue. Water would subside eventually but while bathing, if the shower goes on even for 5 mins, the water would start filling in their super tiny COMMON bathroom. Heistel Delhi pros: 1. closer to Saket metro station.

Hello review Readers . Just recently lived here for 8 days. With the bottom of my heart I am saying It's a great place and the vibe is amazing. For 8 days I was just on rooftop playing snooker and the rooms and the things are the same you saw on photos....Hygiene was also good which I prefer the most where I live while travelling and 100/100 for the Hygiene.. Great shoutout to the Owner ... bhaiya it was amazing. I hope you remember ....bunk bed....

The room exceeded my expectations. It was spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessary facilities. I had a wonderful stay and felt right at home.

It was the worst place you could ever think of. Avoid staying there by all means, filthy. No room was booked on my first arrival, although I even confirmed my arrival time, over the 3 night I spent there everyday there was an issue First night they asked me to sleep in a mixed dorm instead of female dorm with 5 other guys and no curtains Second night faced the same issue and was forced to pay extra to get a room for myself Third night I was asked to move back to dorm although I paid for their mistake On my return late night the lift was not working and no sign whatsoever to say that there is any other way up to the hostel tgat I had to spend the night at a friend's home By all means the worst stay I've ever had in my entire life totally not recommended

I have loved each and every moment that I spent in Heistel! Although I was always out in Delhi most of the day, my favourite part was coming back to the hostel and seeing the cheerful smiles that greeted me as I entered. The dorms are really comfortable and the management is extremely supportive whenever an issue arises. I also met some really nice people from other parts of the world who quickly took a liking to the atmosphere of the hostel and we all were of the mutual opinion that everything is really well taken care of in the hostel and feels safe to be at this property. Really loved getting to know Kiran ma'am Vaibhav Bhaiya and Kapil Bhaiya. I've spent so much time with them and we've had some fun times. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Pathetic manager Vaibhav. First they will give you room then say there's no room available when you want to extend. Bad service. You get nothing if you book the room. AC doesn't work and if you tell them that the manager Vaibhav shows attitude. Not recommended.
