I loved absolutely everything!! It’s such a nice place to stay for a few weeks or even more, Nish really cares about his guests and treats everybody like a good friend. In general it’s a very chilled and social vibe there, with lots of community cooking sessions, hikes etc. I could have not wished for a better place to spend my last weeks in India, it felt like home. Thanks for everything!!

With a private bathroom equipped with a shower, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with free WiFi, while selected rooms have a balcony. All units include bed linen.

I have been staying here for the last 25days. It was my first time staying in a dormitory and at the beginning i was very skeptical about it but from the 1st day itself my views on staying in a dorm have changed drastically. The staff is very helping, specially the people working on the front desk, Harpinder Athwal, Parvez, Viren and their new community building manager Alizeh. These 4 staff people along with my other dorm roommates really made my stay wonderful. Being a solo traveller i had been thinking that it would be difficult to find like minded people over here but i was completely wrong, i met some of the most beautiful souls in Hosteller Mcleodganj. I had one of the best time i could not ever imagine. After a few days, i even shifted to personal rooms and believe me they have one of the best in category room that are clean and full of amenities around. My journey at Hosteller Mcleodganj is a very memorable one, the vibe this place has is something different, it exactly feels like home away from home. I am totally going to recommend everyone to book your stay here and enjoy the time of life here for a while.

    Team Mitra Hostel is very good at curating great experiences for people. We have a good valley view from Mitra Hostel, we can trek to gallu devi and they have a place where you feel like home like we can cook for ourselves. This is also a very safe space for female travellers. And they serve the best chai in Dharamkot.
