Joey's Hostel - Backpacker Hostel in New Delhi, Delhi - East, India

I had a fantastic stay at Joey's Hostel in New Delhi! The vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean accommodations made my experience truly enjoyable. The common areas were lively, fostering a sense of community among guests. The location is convenient, allowing easy exploration of the city. I highly recommend Joey's Hostel for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay especially if you've never been to New Delhi.

For me it's the first hostel in Delhi with a proper backpacker vibe. Clean, comfy hostel with a decent common area and a small kitchen. Free water available. Staff is friendly and helpful. The metro station is only a 4 min stroll. Quite dorms with AC, lockers, female dorms and female bathroom available. I would stay there again. Just the area is boring, there's literally nothing to do.

It's a great option in Delhi for back packers. The staff was so friendly and the bed was comfortable. There is a separate female dormitory also available. Very close to Laxmi Nagar metro station. Very limited restaurant options nearby but you will get tasty street foods. There is no health faucet/ jet spray for the toilet shower !

Joey's hostel was perfect for a solo traveler or just a budget accommodation. It was very clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful they helped me to book my train tickets to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. They helped me with a bunch of little things. I recommend saying here!

There was no lift. just in front of the hostel it's very muddy. When there is rain it's like flood in front of the hostel . Shoes become dirty. You have to take a boat. Could improve the infrastructure Infront to make it more convenient and more easily accessible for tourist and looks nice as well

CONS: I'm sorry, I was taken aback with the location. As a solo female I wasn't comfortable as men would glare at you and walk close to you, in such a narrow crowded lane. A Bazaar kinda location. Toilet flush didn't work twice . Had to call someone. Bed bugs I suppose since I got skin allergy and bites upon waking up in the morning . Bathroom is non attached. Bed price should have been lesser considering this. Rs 900 for a dorm bed in 6 guests sharing, with no bathroom attached and no breakfast offered ( as claimed) . Shower wasn't working at one time, then again it worked. Maintenence needed. Very cold AC, that got me having fever and cold, cough next day. I couldn't find the remote to control the temperature. No table chair to sit or work inside room. No curtain in dorm beds for privacy. Bed mattress was not comfortable, neither the pillow. It was uneven. Common kitchen barely had any cutleries for eating or serving food. I saw just 1 green plate and 1 spoon 1 fork. And few cups, glasses. Extreme shortage. Dining table too had only 1 chair. How are 3-5 people to sit eat together? Would've been great if only female helper staff be appointed to cater to female dormitory, whether coming inside the rooms or cleaning. Less washroom, more are needed considering the occupancy numbers. The curtain in female dormitory upstairs is all fallen and open. Check in time can be flexible and improved. PROS: The staff Suheil is a sweet guy, helpful and smart. Knows his job well. Cleaning staff is putting efforts in keeping the place clean. I noticed it. I met nice people in this hostel. Staffs are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Kitchen is useful But a suggestion, to please see that all guests be treated equally, irrespective of nationality or color. There is still alot of scope for improvement, no doubt, All the Best!!!!

I have stayed at a lot of hostels in Delhi. Joey's would be the perfect pick if you are a backapacker. This place would suit the vibe of a true traveller. The staff is helpful and they try to keep the place clean and tidy. Talking about the negatives (can compromise), the location. It's a little far off from everything. But overall, I would highly recommend this place.

When I first time came to India (8 years ago) I crashed in Joey's,the hostel was new, staff was amazing, location is perfect in my opinion. I came back to India around a month ago, and I came back to this hostel wich is a really good one for the atmosphere, location and staff, but I have to say that is really dirty, sheets are disgusting, stink, the matresses got old and are really uncomfortable, pillows..if u can call em pillows ..rooms and beds are really packed...too much I'd say,everything got old but it seems they don't care, hostel is allways full, and I think it lost the essence from the begginings, it used to be an oasis in the middle of Delhi, quiet, fresh,clean and runed by an amazing staff, still now 0 complains about the staff.. just please if u are making a lot of money with all the travelers, invest some of this money to keep this hostel in conditions, greed is allwsys bad..
