    If you want to have ur college hostel life, this is the best place. They have so many restrictions. You can't order food from outside. You can't drink inside. You can't enter in if drunken much. There are 2 washroom common for 3 rooms with 20+ people. U r kidding me? I'll never visit again.

    This property is on nice locality with parking outside it. Rooms are big so the number of bunk beds, very less bathrooms in comparisons to the total beds , I was on 1st floor and the room was having total 10 beds and another room on same floor was having similar beds but the washrooms are just 2 , which are definitely not sufficient as per the total count. Faced issues regarding restrooms , otherwise staff was super supportive and friendly.

    One of the best experiences so far. The experience of staying in a zostel can not be described easily. It can play various roles in various context for different people. Just simply amazing. Yes i would have been liking the property more if it had had the cafe running.

    Good for a pocket friendly stay where you get to meet lot of interesting people. Pros: - Good location. - Budget friendly - Never get bored, there are good games and people around. Cons: - Ordering Food from outside is not allowed before 10.30 pm. It is a problem because they have limited options in their kitchen. - Too few bathrooms, used to be a problem in morning hours. - No visitors allowed, not even for 5 mins.

    Not worth staying. This place is full of long term people who work in offices nearby so as a traveler you'll find the space very uncomfortable. The food ordering system is very weird. Outside food is not alowed and the one in premises take 45 min to 1 hr in delivery. The quantity is also very less. They also tried to overcharge me for food bill because everything is online so there is no way to cross verify.

    A must try place for backpackers at a very nominal price. I just paid 800rs for a bed in 10 bed dorm. Best place for travellers but for working people the space available to work is very less. The staff are very friendly and the place is maintained neat and tidy. Food is also available at pretty decent price. Best part I like is the lights have to be turned off at 10 30pm and silence to be maintained.

    Stayed in 10 sharing. The beds were super uncomfortable, they make lots of noise. There are mixed dorms and they didn't notify us before checking in. The washrooms were unclean. Poor quality of things. The kitchen was unclean. The dining table was dirty. They don't even provide handwash, it was just water inside. Had a horrible experience.

    The facility is not clean and not well maintained. There’s mold in the building. The dorms are mixed male/female. Overall, the people are nice and food is good but the building is rank and the organization of sleeping spaces isn’t comfortable. I switched to Midtown Locul and it’s more comfortable and waaaaay more clean.

    Perfect location, great accessibility to all the places in Indiranagar. Neat and Clean rooms. I really loved all the sign boards and write ups put up everywhere in the building. Safe and Secure , kind staff, wonderful service. No need to feel insecure if you are traveling solo. The best part about it is its so budget friendly.

    The zostel banglore I knew has changed over the past months. Being a frequent visitor to Zostel banglore, I'm quite aware of the sound restrictions post 10pm. But this time, the behaviour of the manager in charge was very rude. There's a way to speak and to convey messages to the guests. This manager really needs to man up/ grow up! You can't treat guests like college kids but this was the attitude of the manager in charge. I'm a youngster, I'm a traveller. Atleast during the weekends I would love to interact with the other guests within due limits. But the fact that we cannot sit together in the common area post 10pm is really absurd - and if it's due to the neighborhood, then that is something you need to fix. But I would also like to highlight the good side of my stay - the house keeping staff were 10/10 and so was the food. They know how to treat guests with kindness, unlike the current manager who runs the show.

    Had an amazing experience at the Zostel. The staff is very welcoming. If you are new to the city and want to experience the best of everything this is where you gotta be. Great people, amazing conversations and crazy parties. Would love to come back.

  • 3/5 yajnaseni d. 2 years ago on Google
    I stayed in zostel Bangalore for about a week. The property is located in a prime location in the city (Indiranagar). The cook here is great, by the way. Only a small discomfort I felt was with a particular staff member called Sujan. On multiple occasions I felt his way of speaking to guests was unpleasant, sometimes bordering to rude as well. As a traveler and more importantly as a guest of zostel I cannot be spoken to in a rude manner. Hence, small suggestions to Team Zostel would be to increase the hospitality of the staff.

    Easy on the pocket, simple, clean and comfortable backpackers hostel. Centrally located and off the main road so no noise. Staff is friendly and very helpful. However, a no go if you are above 6 feet tall. You won't fit in the beds! :P

  • 4/5 Anita W. 9 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed my stay at Zostel Bangalore! The rooms were very neat and clean and the guests all respected the rules. The bathrooms could be a bit dirty at times but staff were pretty good at cleaning them routinely. Something that would have improved my experience would be if the hostel offered social activities or tours of some sort.

    I had a fantastic experience staying at Zostel Bangalore. The clean rooms and common areas truly stood out. The rooms were immaculate, and the attention to cleanliness was evident throughout the hostel. It made for a comfortable and hygienic stay. What made my stay even more memorable was the opportunity to socialize with people from various parts of the country. Zostel Bangalore provided a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere for guests to interact and share their travel stories. It was a wonderful experience connecting with fellow travelers, exchanging insights, and making new friends. Overall, Zostel Bangalore not only offered a clean and comfortable accommodation but also fostered a sense of community and camaraderie among guests, making it an excellent choice for travelers looking for more than just a place to stay.

  • 5/5 keval p. 5 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Everything was really great. They were welcoming and also supported us in commute direction, local eatery, etc. I would definitely recommend this to people who are travelling for business and don't want to spend heavily. Plus it's a good place to network with people from different space of life. I would however recommend the management to do something about their card machine it wasn't working well and I had to pay in cash.

  • 5/5 Pradipta M. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    I stayed in zostel indiranagar for 6 days and it was a good experience. House keeping staff used to clean the rooms and washrooms daily. And they have in house cafe which provides home cooked with a minimal price.

  • 5/5 Sailee K. 5 months ago on Google
    Zostel Banglore provided us with a very comfortable stay. It is located at a location from where most of the areas in Banglore are accessible. Zostel had all the facilities to ease out the accommodation aspect of a traveller. It was clean, quiet, service staff was good, kitchen was good. It gives you an overall good experience. Would definitely go back there whenever again in Banglore and would recommend it to others too..

  • 5/5 John B. 10 months ago on Google
    Heard a lot about the ZOSTEL and experienced the vibes as they were true. Stayed here for three days, the staff was so supporting and friendly in all way means to help us out. The rooms were properly organised and cleaning was done on regular basis to ensure the smooth operation.Wishing the team good luck in all future endeavours.

  • 5/5 JINESH J. 9 months ago on Google
    Good spot for solo travel. Get to meet a lot of people. Location is pretty good and the management is ensuring proper cleaning. Overall a very good place if you're traveling alone and you can hangout before and after checkout in the common area if required.

  • 4/5 Aditya Dev S. 1 year ago on Google
    Hostel is good, the manager and the staff are very helpful. My only wish was that if the common bathrooms are much cleaner. There were bunch of mosquitoes in washrooms. There was a open drain in bathroom. I feel the cleaning duties should be assigned every hour as washrooms are used quite frequently. Other than that zostel is a blessing for solo travellers. Thank you for hosting!

  • 5/5 Roopa R. 9 months ago on Google
    Best host. You'll get privacy and safety at the same time. Very happy with my stay though the stay was for a short period. Suggesting zostel to everyone for a comfortable stay.

  • 4/5 Bhavapriya T. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, I had a pretty good experience here. Check in and out was smooth, the beds were comfy (although I wish I hadn't got the top bunk as it was super tough to get on it), thought the sheets were pretty clean, and liked the vibe of the place as well. Bathrooms COULD have been a little cleaner but tbf it really wasn't an issue as I have seen worse and for a sharing situation these bathrooms were pretty damn clean. I DO wish there were MORE bathrooms though because it was super tough getting to change/ go because it was almost always occupied.. Location was amazing, internet was fast, people were great, food was fine enough so would recommend for short stays definitely!

  • 5/5 Sanyog T. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to stay. You can make new friends as always and it’s a soothing place to stay. Service, staff friendly. I was here in 2018 as well. Go for it.😀

  • 5/5 Kumaara A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good experience. Zostels in India tend to have a good vibe. The staff and guests were really friendly and the place serves good food for a reasonable price. My only gripe is that one can spend ages in the morning waiting to use the bathroom.

  • 5/5 Hendrik B. 1 year ago on Google
    Super chilled vibes. Super friendly service. Rooms are plain but good. Good value for your money. I'd only love for them to have a bar with alcohol and more couches.

  • 4/5 Alhaarith H. 8 months ago on Google
    Personally it was my first visit, and I must say I loved the rooms, I loved the food and also the location is sick. The only suggestion I had was the bathroom, it looked pretty old in the 4-member dorm. Apart from that everything is top-notch. Will come back here on my next visit. Thanks for being a great host guys.

  • 5/5 Sanskar B. 8 months ago on Google
    The working staff's behaviour is too good. The beds and rooms are neat and clean. You get options to customise your food in the cafe. And the vibe in the property is very cool and calm.

  • 5/5 SHIHAB 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice and helpful for short visits. Neat facility. Good staff n management.. Just the bathroom needs a little more attention as it is a shared one.

  • 5/5 Shiv Shankar S. 8 months ago on Google
    The best part of Zostel are the diverse people you meet and get to make amazing memories. Would definitely recommended this place for those traveling alone and looking to make friends :)

  • 5/5 Aditi S. 8 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience, I had stayed for the entire week and it was definitely comfortable. Staff here is really attentive and they provide food inside zostel itself at a much better prices than you can order. And the taste & quality of food was good too!

  • 5/5 Ajinkya D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a really nice time at Zostel. Just that food quantity is bit too much for a single person.(Mostly rice). Maybe the canteen people should make quantity a bit less.

  • 5/5 Rahul P. 5 months ago on Google
    Mr Sujan Dey with his warm smile and dedication towards helping guests made my stay wonderful. Though Zostel has all the amenities equivalent to a 3 star hotel yet Mr Sujan Dey works passionately to make it more comfortable. He keeps the check in and check out process swift and is bery professional. Thanks to Zostel administration for having Mr Sujan Dey on the front desk and make us not feel nostalgic for being far away from home.

  • 5/5 Mitali P. 5 months ago on Google
    I travel to Bangalore for work in Domlur, and I love the community feeling Zostel has. It’s right near the bustling Pub Street, but tucked into a leafy lane. It’s tech forward and ideal for a working professional who may not like to live alone. Then there’s Clyde for company and all it lacks is a laundry room.

  • 5/5 Samprit Ramesh C. 7 months ago on Google
    Best for travellers, food, ambience and rooms are amazing. Everything is kept well clean, staff is very well behaved and kind, thanks for Srujan for making for check in seamless. I enjoyed for stay here, Highly recommended I will miss Clyde 😔

  • 5/5 Anjali J. 6 months ago on Google
    Had a very calming experience at zostel. Srujan was such an amazing host. Did not have to worry about anything as he was always around to help. The rooms and bathrooms were well-maintained, the common area had a good vibe and the staff is helpful. All in all, a great experience.

  • 5/5 Abhinandan J. 5 months ago on Google
    The location is ideal, and the services are commendable. The rooms are also well-kept. However, I've given a 4-star rating for the rooms due to an unfortunate encounter with a bed bug, which disrupted my sleep one night. When I brought this to the attention of the receptionist, it seemed to be dismissed without much consideration.

  • 4/5 Harsh U. 5 months ago on Google
    In good location of Indiranagar, accessible easily from everywhere in Bangalore. Staff is very good and supportive, especially both the Sujans and kitchen guys. Had a comfortable stay.

  • 4/5 nithin s. 1 year ago on Google
    The Stay and Culture at zostel was so nice. The guest and the staffs were really good.If you are a solo traveller or you want to meet new people and make company you can always opt for this. The only issue I found was to get to the top beds it's really a struggle (shaky and perpendicular ladders). So if the management could do something about it, it would be great !

  • 5/5 Poovendhiran P. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to stay for a short or a long trip... Place is clean, good ambience and loctaed in the hot spot of the city!

  • 3/5 Siddharth Pujare (. 2 years ago on Google
    Good and quiet locality. Booking procedure is fast. Food taste is good and value for money. Doesn't have dedicated washroom for each dorm room. Wifi is good for general work not for office work. Work space present but not spacious. But, one can sit anywhere in zostel premise and work. Cleanliness is good.

  • 5/5 ansul b. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my best stay. Best place for solo travellers or with friends.. Zostel has many facilities which other hotel can’t provide. Facilities like indoor games, board games, mini theatre, furnished kitchen with all appliances. Property was well maintained.

  • 3/5 Sarvesh G. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is ohkish when compared zostels in other location. The staff is friendly but needs alot of improvement. They make ad-hoc rules which are not available on websites. Unless you absolutely need it, I don't recommend this place for people who are on workation.

  • 4/5 Venkatesh P. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s the best! :) Staff has become even more friendlier and the food quality is also great. Everything is really great.

  • 5/5 Nikhil P. 2 years ago on Google
    Well maintained and very polite staff. No alcohol allowed. Food is good. Best part is the location. No fuss, as expected from Zostel.

  • 3/5 Shilpa O. 2 years ago on Google
    The beds are very comfortable for a soy sleep and the rooms are cozy. The property is clean. But there are so many restrictions that are genuine on their part of them located in a residential area but that's not what zostels are for! Travelers especially solo ones would stay at the places like these to gel up with other people and have fun on their stay but this property is like a school hostel with strict rules for the guests. The staff at times is so rude that they will ask you to checkout even at night for just going into your friend's dorm to talk. The food served here is a bit expensive. The common area is okayish with mosquitoes bites.

  • 5/5 Shamnah U. 2 years ago on Google
    I wish I could cart off the bunk bed at zostel home!(seriously, if anyone can give any info on where to buy one, I'm all ears. It was one of the best sleep I had in a long while). The place is run professionally, very helpful and friendly staff and the ambience is love. Stayed in a mixed dormitory, never felt untoward as a single female traveling alone. Do check it out, guys. You'll have a blast if y'all are going with friends.

  • 5/5 Aditya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best place to stay for travelers right in the heart of Bengaluru. Nice food and a very friendly ambience. Sujan and Devanshi are doing an excellent job at the property. They take care of everything and are very supportive. Met some lovely people & had a great time. Can't wait to visit again :)

  • 4/5 Ataur R. 2 years ago on Google
    On my recent solo trip, i was doing all hotel bookings and planning then i saw a Zostel advertisement and then i remember if i can stay in Zostel why to spend thousands in hotel booking. So, i booked Mysore Zostel then for the rest of the day, i booked Zostel, Bangalore. Everything is good, not good but fantastic. I stayed in 6 bed room, which was kind of not that great. But staff was good and even i made a good friend, the chef Sushant. 4 star because i didn’t enjoy it as much i enjoyed Zostel Mysore. But hey, 600-800Rs for stay is good, especially when traveling Solo. Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Rajat G. 2 years ago on Google
    OK stay. The bed was comfy, the pillow really wasn't. The bathrooms are okay, but not well maintained. WiFi sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. The only plus point to Zostel is that the people you'd meet here. So, look for another place if you're hygienic, but go for this if you wanna meet all kids of people

  • 5/5 Ajay P. 1 year ago on Google
    Zostel has been a warm and welcome space for travellers. ZOSTEL Bangalore was no different. Shared rooms and washrooms are very clean. Clean enough to give you the reassurance of staying in a co-living space. :)

  • 5/5 Niharika A. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my first time staying at a Zostel. I loved my stay, and made some new friends. This is situated in a prime location, the rooms are affordable and there's an abundance of amenities. Highly recommend it for all solo travelers or if you're coming with your friend(s).

  • 5/5 diyamarium j. 1 year ago on Google
    I was really satisfied when I saw the way they set everything. And the most imp part is that even the bathrooms were very clean.The Dormmates were really cooperative and friendly. Soon planning one more stay there in Zostel just to enjoy the vibe.

  • 5/5 Gautam J. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time at Zostel. I really liked the stay and would definitely recommended anyone to go there. This hostel is having very cozy vibes. They have a separate living room, dining area. The food they serve is really good and at appropriate price. Zostel is a good to go for solo travellers.

  • 4/5 Faisal K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for a 3 day stay, The rooms were good, beds were decent and mattresses were comfortable. Met a lot of interesting people over there and the staff was very friendly. They could make more bathrooms though as there are times when all of them are engaged.

  • 5/5 Nooh Ali A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service. Good reasonable prices of food. If you are looking for a place to stay in Bangalore for a few days and dorms are your thing. Zostel is the best.

  • 5/5 Shubh _. 1 year ago on Google
    The best stay for this budget and locality. Very close to all party places. Beds are super comfy. All basic necessities provided. Cleanliness on point. They got a running kitchen inside and it serves all meals. The menu is really varied, you get north Indian, south Indian, Chinese... everything. I didn't need to step out to eat. Enough places to work if you are on a work trip. The staff is so nice and welcoming. The vibe is super chill. I ended up making friends there :⁠-⁠) Best hostel in Bangalore for sure!!!

  • 5/5 Matson K. 1 year ago on Google
    The accomodation and service from the team was very good. Stayed here for 5 days and was able to mingle with so many people around the World. In house kitchen is there which was also pretty good. Cleanliness was not at all an issue. Overall this stay was worth.

  • 4/5 Prem O Prem (Reasonable D. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first experience, I kinda of mixed feeling. But overall I liked the stay. Good for the business trip, quick come n go! Internet average, no much common place, bathroom could increase, water shower could be in working condition.

  • 4/5 Pooja R. 1 year ago on Google
    In such a busy city like Bangalore, this stay is very calm and well maintained. the rooms, kitchen space and washrooms are neat and hygienic 5/5 rating. In-house kitchen has lot of food options running from 8am to 11pm And taste of food is pretty decent Only drawback I could see here is they don’t allow you to bring the outside food as they have their own in-house kitchen Apart from this I can say it’s a best stay for both working and non working professional Overall rating 4.5/5

  • 5/5 vaimitra k. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a great experience staying at Zostel Bangalore! Kind & helpful hosts, frequent cleaning of rooms, clean washrooms, great food and an awesome vibe!! The location is an added advantage too! By far, it has been my best hostel experience in Bangalore :)))

  • 3/5 NISHAN B S. 2 years ago on Google
    Zostel Bangalore is located in Indiranagar (Most happening place) First, the property is little crowded Second, I took a 4 bed suite, it was nothing like a suite Third, Washroom was trash. They say it's cleaned every hour, complete BS. My Allocated washroom was really bad but common washroom was okay and useable. Fourth, why I gave 3 instead of 2 is hospitality by staff and manager. The team is good and catered to my needs, a big thank u to them. I am a huge supporter of Zostel and recommend it to my peers but Bangalore property disappointed me☹️

  • 5/5 Alekhya A. 1 year ago on Google
    Zostel was warm and welcoming right from the beginning and the people who stay here are the same! It’s the perfect option for anyone who loves meeting new people and is more than okay with living in dorm rooms for the perfect hostel feel. The property is very well-maintained and cleaned regularly as well. Would definitely recommend staying here!

  • 5/5 Nourin k. 11 months ago on Google
    A great place to stay for solo travellers. Close proximity to almost every hotspots in area. The room was clean and quiet. Also the hostel is located in a very calm and quiet atmosphere. Great experience so far!

  • 4/5 Shubham S. 11 months ago on Google
    Overall stay was good, their cafe facility is also good. You can ask chef to prepare a dish as per diet preferences (high protein low carbs etc). Front office guy Shrijan is very humble and welcoming. Under his supervision my stay was good. Cheers ✌️

  • 4/5 Sourabh B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a pleasant stay! Met new people all across the country here. Highly recommended to all the backpackers amidst of all the traffic chaos this place is at the heart of the city with peaceful area.

  • 4/5 Priyancka Sawadkar (Scalpel W. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    My stay at ZOSTEL, Indiranagar Bangalore was quite a good first time experience. Made new friends. Srujan at the reception was very welcoming and helpful. Rooms and surroundings were quiet, clean & neat.

  • 4/5 Yogesh K. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Rooms were great, bathrooms were okayish, but they clean it like 2-3 times a day. I felt it was worth it, compared to other places to stay. It's in a great location too, tonnes of good places to eat around, and like 10 mins from the metro.
