Hide-In Hostel Delhi

The food from Nitin,manish and Golu in Kitchen was great, and the whole team made my stay comfortable. Hide In Hostel is still one of my favourite places in Delhi. The rooms are clean, the vibe is relaxed, and the staff make you feel at home. Bobby Bhai is always helpful, Robbin keeps things running smoothly, Aashutosh brings friendly energy every time, and Shivam is helpful too. Thanks, guys, for the good food and a comfortable stay. I’d recommend it to anyone after comfort and good vibes.

I had a great time with Om bhai and Yatin bhai, who became the kind of company and friends you hope to find. The place has its own character compared with other hostels in delhi, and I’m already looking forward to visiting again. The view is beautiful, and the managers, Robin bhai and Shivam bhai, are welcoming and professional. I also want to mention Guard sahab ( Indrajeet Ji), one of the nicest people you could meet and clearly dedicated to his work.

The only bright spot was the washroom, which was surprisingly clean and well-kept. I arrived at 8am and left by 9am, cancelling my booking and losing ₹500 before heading to a different hostel. I’d trusted the Google ratings and regretted booking here. Finding the property is difficult even with Google Maps. It’s on the third floor of an apartment building, up steep stairs with no lift, and the hostel itself is a 3BHK apartment. The only dorm options were 10-bed and 12-bed rooms. The beds were in poor shape and the mattresses smelled bad. There’s no washroom attached to the dorms, and getting to the washroom means crossing the whole apartment. There seemed to be a charge for everything: ₹500 for early check-in and ₹500 for late check-out. My bed cost ₹500, so I didn’t see why I should pay extra to check in early, especially with a bed sitting empty. They still wouldn’t let me in early. I cancelled and went to Hosteller, where check-in was at 2pm, but I got a bed by 11am without even asking for early check-in. There’s a kitchen, but no chef was available. Basic tea costs ₹52. There were no water bottles, and although there was a dispenser, there were no cups. The place felt very strange and shady, almost like a crime patrol scene. Don’t rely on the Google ratings.

The rooms are decent, but the service was pathetic. If you’re a light sleeper, think twice before booking: traffic and construction noise were so loud, even at night, that it felt like sleeping in the middle of the road. The property was being renovated or repaired, with work going on all day. They wouldn’t let us order food, but the kitchen also closed during the day. When we checked in at 2:30PM, there was no water. The tanker arrived around 5-5:30 pm, so we spent that time sitting in the noisy room, unable to freshen up or bathe. The shower-to-tap switch was broken, and we were told the plumber would come the next day, after we checked out.
