Aashianaa Gracious Living

There's a shared living room with a couch where you can relax during the day, and I had a good time meeting people and hearing their travel stories. The hostel has bunk beds in GK, so you need to be comfortable sharing space. There's kitchen access, and you can also bring in outside food. The nearest metro stations are GK on the magenta line and Kailash colony on the violet line. Cleanliness was average, and the bathroom was quite small and untidy. Air conditioning in the rooms only runs from 10pm-8am, which made it quite suffocating since there were no windows or ceiling fans.

They made a delayed arrival easy, waiting until we got out of the airport and making sure we had what we needed, including good meals. They even took us to the bank and Airtel to get a SIM card, and helped us a lot. The room was comfortable, and it was a nice place to meet other travellers and share experiences. We felt at home.

The neighborhood felt clean and very safe, and there’s a spacious common room plus a quiet park nearby. The staff were unfriendly and didn’t speak English. I ordered a lime soda and got plain soda instead, with no apology, just a sort of “I don’t know, have it.” I also waited almost 20 minutes for coffee because they forgot my order. I don’t think I’ll come back.

There’s a great park right beside the place, which is lovely if you want somewhere calm to relax in Delhi. The owner was friendly and helpful, and the living room had plenty of space to hang out. Rooms and bathrooms were clean.
