I had a wonderful experience at The Social Stays. The hostel has a very welcoming and lively atmosphere, perfect for meeting new people. The rooms and common areas were clean and well maintained, and the staff was always helpful and polite. The food was really good, and the overall vibes of the place made the stay even more enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and social stay, and I’d love to stay here again!
As seasoned travellers who journey extensively both within India and abroad, my companions and I hold ourselves to a discerning standard when it comes to accommodation. It is with considerable disappointment that I feel compelled to caution fellow travellers — whether local Indians or international visitors — against patronising this establishment. I am writing this having travelled from Thailand specifically, and what I have encountered here is nothing short of unacceptable. The management and staff conduct themselves with a striking absence of professionalism and basic hospitality. They lack even the most elementary courtesy — such as offering a bed replacement when, during a confirmed 12-night reservation, my allocated bed was arbitrarily assigned to another guest. To compound matters further, my laptop charger, which I had left in the socket above my designated bed, has since gone missing — a direct consequence of their negligence. I have, by nature, endeavoured to remain accommodating and patient. However, given the persistent pattern of mismanagement I have observed from last August through to the present day, I feel it necessary to formally document the following grievances: 1. Prohibition of Outside Food: Guests are expressly forbidden from ordering external food or dining in the communal rooftop area — a policy that exists solely to coerce guests into patronising their overpriced in-house food stall, which, I must add, operates out of a kitchen visibly infested with cockroaches (photographic evidence attached). 2. Selective Enforcement of Policies: While guests are prohibited from hosting or interacting with outside individuals, members of staff routinely bring unauthorised external persons onto the premises without any consequence — a glaring and hypocritical double standard. 3. Absence of Basic Housekeeping: Daily room cleaning is entirely non-existent, despite having been requested on multiple occasions. The most fundamental standards of hygiene and upkeep are simply not being met. 4. Exorbitant and Exploitative Pricing: The food menu is priced at a level wholly disproportionate to the quality on offer, rendering affordable dining an impossibility — and given the simultaneous ban on outside food, guests are left with no viable alternative. It is, in effect, a captive pricing arrangement that borders on exploitative.
I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help with directions, local tips, and even booking activities. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I especially loved the common area — it was the perfect spot to meet other travelers and unwind after a long day exploring. The location couldn’t be better, close to public transport, great cafes, and local attractions. Overall, a fantastic experience — I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and fun place to stay!
Terrible first experience. I reached on 24th, early morning at 7:30am. The receptionist at that time was terribly impolite. He was getting annoyed at simple requests like a clean bathroom to freshen up because their checkin is at 1pm. He was extremely impolite to deny access to play snooker to my guest waiting in the waiting area. Absolute nonsense. While the other staff member was polite and hospitable, the first one with glasses was impolite, rude and unwelcome. I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone. My dorm bed was missing the personal light An absolutely uncomfortable, unsafe for and useless stay. They took my arrival timing and when I did arrive they didn't have the basic clean arrangement of getting freshened up.
I’m not someone who usually stays in hostels in metro cities, but this stay completely changed my perspective. It’s in a very accessible location, neat, and well maintained. They also have a decent cafe. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful, they personally add a lot of value to the place. *Con : Just note that the hostel is a complete concrete complex, in case you prefer a different kind of ambience.
