Eon - The EcoTEL

The open kitchen makes food preparation feel more transparent, and they wear hair nets to keep things hygienic. The staff and rooms are lovely too. They also offer internship opportunities that may lead to a PPO in Pune. Honestly, one of the best hostels in the Milky Way galaxy.

Air-conditioned rooms, and some of the most delicious food. Best hostel in the universe.

The place was easy enough to reach, and cleaning is the one thing that earned it a star from me. The setup is cramped: four people sleep in bunker-style beds in a roughly 200-square-foot room, which doesn't feel large enough, and everyone shares one bathroom. You'll want to get up early if you need first access. At ₹7000 per bed per person, with no food included, I think you're better off finding your own place for that price.

The rooms feel homely and are kept tidy, with marble floors. Staff regularly clean and change the sheets and pillows. There are four beds, so you share with three roommates, and the bathrooms have western toilets. A mess upstairs offers food at reasonable rates. Amenities include a washing machine, and you can bring an electric induction cooker to make Maggie.
