Overall Best Hostel in India – Lets Bunk Poshtel

• $$
• Laundry Service
• Bar/Restaurant
• Outdoor Terrace

This is one of those hostels where everything is just too cool to deal with. Touting itself as a place for a luxury lifestyle, it’s fair to say this is one of the coolest hostels in India. Aside from all of the freakishly funky design, the staff are pretty nice too and the area is safe and fairly chilled (for Delhi at least).

There’s a load of places to eat nearby and, once you’ve had enough of mental sites and sounds of the city and need somewhere to simmer down, there’s a chill rooftop terrace to have a few beers and meet other travellers. Definitely the best Delhi hostel and one of the best overall hostels in India.

Zostel Mumbai

Lively and vibrant, this place is up there with the best overall hostels in India. The kind of place where you know you will meet a bunch of friendly people, the staff a super nice and make the hostel a cool space to hang out in – which can be much needed after a busy day in Mumbai.

Another one of India’s shiny new hostel chains, this one a top hostel in India. This one has a funky name, this one is run by a nice bunch of people who put on a load of activities for their guests and often work towards sustainable tourism which we think can only be a good thing.

This place is also properly clean so you won’t have to worry about what is lurking in the sheets, or even if they have been changed. The dorms come with big old lockers and there’s 24-hour security so there’s nothing to worry yourself about.

It’s basically a good choice for anyone interested in a super slow pace of life. The place is all spacious with nice lil’ inspirational quotes on the wall, loads of art and… interesting wi-fi passwords. It’s a creative kinda place, the sorta place you’ll want to stay longer at. Plus all this 10 mins from the beach.

Trippr Gokarna Backpacker Hostel

• Restaurant
• Bicycle Hire
• Late Check-out

This Gokarna backpackers hostel is right near the beach, which is an automatic win for us. Perfect for anybody who wants to lap up the nature, or just chill out on their own slice of sun, sea and sand. It’s simple… but ultimately, who cares? It’s authentic and chill.

One of the best overall hostels in India, it’s a good shout if you like getting out into nature hiking and stuff… or just being a beach bum like we said. This has gotta be one of the coolest hostels in India too since the whole thing actually runs on solar power. Means there are limits to air con and stuff, but… Small price to pay.

• $$
• 24 Hour Security

Funky Monkey, eh? Funky Monkey… Well anyway, this hostel is literally a stone’s throw from Goa’s Anjuna beach, which is pretty cool. There’s ALWAYS stuff going on at this place. If you’re someone who wants to get involved in loads of stuff, then here’s one of the best hostels in India for solo travellers.

The surrounding area, we gotta say, is pretty poppin’ as well. There’s Psychedelic Tuesdays at Shiva Valley, there’s the Anjuna Flea Market, and there are parties on the beach. Yoga, swinging in hammocks, a beachy kinda life where you can meet people from all over the place. Very Goa.

Jugaad Hostel

Staying here you’re sure to pretty much have the best time (as a solo traveller) in Delhi. Up there among the best hostels in India for solo travellers, this place wants to give you a decent local experience. And thankfully it ain’t in the Main Bazaar or Paharganj, like the ‘normal’ touristy areas, so you get LESS hassle here.

Which is always nice. However, it’s just a couple of mins from Delhi’s metro so you can still get around easily. This hostel also puts on things like bar outings (pub crawls?), yoga classes, plus there’s a nice rooftop common area where you can meet people pretty easily.

Horn Ok Please Hostel

We don’t really understand what’s going on with the name of this Mumbai backpackers hostel, but it’s definitely one of the best hostels in India for solo travellers. It’s not about luxury, in fact, they say luxury is overrated (hmm), and that staying here is more about… LIVING.

So if you stay at this hostel you’re likely to wanna be jumping in at the deep end. Definitely, the place for intrepid travellers to meet up and party, it’s like a little community here. And it may be simple here but it’s still a decent place to unwind away from the busy Mumbai streets.

Which also includes going out to see music events, festivals, celebrations, which let’s face it can be a bit daunting if you’re travelling by yourself in India! They can also set you up with an NGO if you wanna do some volunteering. Comes complete with a library full of documentaries about India.

Hashtag Rooms is a Goa backpackers hostel which you’ll find in Calangute. It’s a super nice place that’s well looked after, perfect as a hostel for solo travellers in India. It’s really clean and the staff look after guests, helping to make a V good social atmosphere. We approve.

It’s smack bang on the beach, which is perfect if the beach is what you’re here for. And if you’re the type of person who gets bored all the time, don’t worry – there’s plenty going on here all the time. Island excursions, scuba diving, surfing (lessons) – it’s all on offer here.

Best Cheap Hostels in India – Palolem by Roadhouse Hostels

• $
• Cafe
• Luggage Storage
• Games Room

This Goa backpackers hostel is set on good ol’ Palolem Beach. It’s surrounded by palm trees in a super chill area on the beach. It’s 5 mins away from the beach but… it’s nice to be OFF the main part of the beach here TBH.

It’s not the most poppin’ of places to stay NGL but it’s clean, there’s nice lil’ gardens to hang out in, a chill patio. The staff are welcoming too. Basically, it’s one of those places you can just while away your time chilling the hell out. One of the best cheap hostels in India.

La Vaca India

The big old breakfast here is good: chai, eggs, ham, fruit, toast – all free. The walking tours here are also FREE. The staff are nice and it’s close to the main sights of the city, so you can save dollar on tuk-tuks. Good value for money, we say.

Zostel Bangalore

• $
• Cafe
• Bicycle Hire
• 24 Hour Security

It’s another Zostel. This time it’s in Bangalore. It’s definitely one the best cheap hostels in India. Why’s that? Because it’s modern with whitewashed walls, light and airy spaces, enough room for everybody… It basically looks more expensive than it is and we can’t argue with that.

You’ll also find a pool table at this budget Bangalore hostel, plus a games room and a cute little garden complete with hammocks and palm trees. The staff here will help you out with booking trains and buses, which is a godsend in India we gotta say. Also in walking distance to the metro and loads of bars and shops.

The Hosteller

• $$
• Free Breakfast
• Cafe
• 24 Hour Reception

This budget hostel in Delhi is a city hostel but it has a good backpacker vibe. It’s actually not right in central Delhi, which can be a bit mental anyway, but slightly out. However, there’s a metro station RIGHT nearby which means you can get into and out of the craziness as you see fit.

The edgy urban vibe is pretty cool, we appreciate it, but be warned: there is a STRONG yellow theme going on here. You know that Coldplay song? Well, yeah, it’s literally all yellow. But there are movie nights, pub crawls, and other stuff (like low prices) that helps make this one of the best cheap hostels in India.

Swan Hostel Jaisalmer

• $
• Bar/Cafe
• Book Exchange
• Free Breakfast

This youth hostel in Jaisalmer has good vibes, a homely atmosphere, and pretty much top facilities for the money you pay here. So we’re just gonna say it: one of the best cheap hostels in India. If you’re on a shoestring and you’re in this part of India… yeah, it’s a good’un.

Like in many places in India, there’s a rooftop terrace here with an amazing view. You can see Jaisalmer Fort from the roof of this cool India hostel. They also put on nice events and tours here, including the “non-touristic camel safari tour” – this one actually comes highly recommended.

• $$
• Cafe
• Self Catering Facilities
• 24 Hour Security

Super shiny, super nice, the kinda place you’d wanna go back to… Yep, this Delhi backpackers hostel is a nice combo of CALM and CLEAN that we can definitely appreciate, especially when you get in from a mad day sightseeing. It’s one of the best hostels in India for couples for that reason.

The staff here are pretty friendly and can help out with their own local tips, helping you to choose what to see/what not to see around the city. There’s a common room here and a roof terrace (of course). The private rooms available here are pretty decent – and spacious, too.

Dreams Hostel

• $
• 24 Hour Security
• Laundry Facilities
• Outdoor Terrace

This Goa backpackers hostel is ALL about the hippy vibes. Think tie-dye throws, chill out areas, and the obligatory communal guitars. Yep. That’s this place in a nutshell. But then again, Goa is quite like this anyway.

Aside from the hippy atmosphere, it’s actually pretty clean and there are nice dorm beds.

There’s also private cabins, which is pretty nice if you ask us. As one of the best hostels in India for couples, you and your partner will love exploring the flea markets and places to party nearby. You’ll also like the general chill vibes of it too, we reckon. Dreams indeed.

Hostel Mantra

• 24 Hour Reception

This Mumbai backpackers hostel is a recommended hostel in India for couples. It’s a happy kinda place with nice staff, and a decent place to stay if you want to discover a more local side of the city. Yep, it might not be central, but this is a cool area. Local nightlife is pretty good here.

Plus there’s a lot going on at this cool India hostel. There’s stuff like movie nights, slum tours, and a load more. This place is actually set in a big house with nice spaces to hang out in, so it feels secure and homely.

Zostel Gokarna

• $$
• Bicycle Hire
• Cafe
• Luggage Storage

Another Zostel, another Gokarna backpackers hostel. This one overlooks the main beach and is the perfect place for sunsets – it’s on a cliff, so the views here are pretty prime. Of course, it’s one of the best hostels in India for couples. We mean… sunsets!

It’s kinda rustic and romantic here, which again makes it perfect for couples. Especially if you don’t mind staying in, like, a rattan hut. They do things like beach treks and it’s a decent shout if you’re a social couple who wants to meet fellow travellers over a game of foosball or something like that. Feels safe too.

Bluebeds Backpackers Hostel – Jaipur

• $$
• ATM
• Restaurant
• 24 Hour Reception

Bluebeds. Why Bluebeds? It’s not imaginative, they literally JUST have blue beds. But it’s pretty cool here NGL. Blue is the name of the game here. But then again so is a tasteful sense of style and, well, Instagram-worthy spaces. Pretty nice really.

A great shout for one of the best hostels in India for couples. Not just because it’s pretty chic, but because there’s nice little perks to staying here too. There’s a walking tour on offer, a block printing workshop and our personal favourite, a food tour. But yeah, this Jaipur backpackers hostel is pretty cool.

Best Party Hostel in India – The Bucket List Goa

• $$
• Nightclub
• Bicycle Hire
• Laundry Facilities

The slogan of this top hostels in Goa is “make moments into memories.” We’re not sure what that means, but it’s still one of the best party hostels in India. Located in Vagator, this one has a lively vibe if you really wanna party. But… the dorms… are pretty simple.

You’re in Goa though, so… It’s all about beaching it up here. And getting along with everyone else.

There’s a communal backpackers meet-up, there’s a big bar, things like bucket beer challenges (Bucket List, get it?) and loud music that pumps well into the wee hours. If that sounds like your game, book away!

Lostouse

• $$
• Outdoor Terrace
• Cafe
• Luggage Storage

I mean, is it LOSTouse because they don’t really know what they are? There’s a vegan cafe, a boutique, a hostel… all in the same building. We’re lost. BUT it is one of the best party hostels in India. Mainly because it has a POPPIN’ rooftop.

Yep, that rooftop sure is fun. You can bring your own booze too, but you have to pay corkage. Which is fine we guess.

Other than that there are also a load of different places to eat and drink nearby, which is another reason why we’re saying this place is the vibiest party hostel in India but it’s a good place to have drinks, meet other travellers and then head out on the town.

Electric Cats Bed & Breakfast

• $$
• No Curfew
• Free Breakfast
• Luggage Storage

A pretty good contender for the title of the best party hostel in India, this place in Bangalore not only has an eye-catching name, but its good a really chill and friendly atmosphere, which makes it a really good spot to get to know other travellers.

The area is the best in the city for partying and staying here means you’ll be in walking distance to all sorts of cool bars nearby.

The hostel might look a little, um, basic but it’s all clean and safe and they actually have a second hostel just up the road called the Annex. This is another good spot where everyone meets up for drinking sessions to get the party started.

Red Door Hostel

• $
• Bar
• Bicycle  Hire

If you are in Goa to party and meet a bunch of other travellers then you should probably stay at this place. A top party hostel in India, not only does it come complete with its own bar, which serves up a load of tasty drinks and yummy pizzas, but they also let guests bring their own drinks in too.

Everyone sits around getting on it together and listening to tunes and then heads out for a night of madness in Anjuna.

The hostel itself is actually a big old Portuguese villa which makes it feel like a house party every night. The guys that run the hostel are super chill and make a fun atmosphere for everyone to get to know each other. Location-wise it’s right near the beach too, which is a bonus.

The Madpackers Hostel

• $$
• Free Breakfast
• Events
• Rooftop Terrace

Yep, Madpackers is preEeettTtttYyy mAd… if you couldn’t tell from the name.

Actually, this IS one of the best party hostels in India, not because it’s a super crazy all-night party kind of place. Nope. It’s also ’cause they set everyone up with great events and activities so it’s easy to make new mates and get your drink on.

It’s a super clean and cool hostel in Delhi and has a load of spaces to hang out – the big ol’ rooftop and the massive common room are really vibey too.

The staff run this place really well and work hard to make sure everyone has a good time; there’s also things going on like trips to see local street art and sunset food tours.

Best Hostel in India for Digital Nomads – Amigos India

• $$
• Bar/Cafe
• 24 Hour Reception

Looking for a hostel in Delhi to get some work done? But you also wanna see the city? This one’s a good shout. The bright, spacious common room spaces are quiet and chilled which we think help make it one of the best hostels in India for digital nomads.

There’s a cafe too, which is always a bonus when you’re in need of a caffeine boost.

It isn’t without soul though. And the people who run it obviously want to make sure everyone who stays is well looked after and enjoys their time in the city.

It’s the kinda hostel that’s open and welcoming to all sortsa travellers, so you might get to meet some interesting people as well as get a whole load of work finished too.

OLD QUARTER by the hostel crowd

• $$$
• Swimming Pool
• Laundry Facilities
• Sauna

Goa can be a pretty chilled place to stay and a lot of the accommodation on offer can be a little ropey (for sure), but this top hostel in Goa manages to make a stylish and affordable spot for travellers.

There’s all sorts of really nice design all over the shop here, and it’s in a Portuguese style building in the heritage zone of the city so expect big wooden shutters and doors.

When it comes to workspaces, there’s some secluded spots in courtyards which are ideal for sitting on your laptop.

There’s also a properly sleek cafe with leather chairs and dark wood which comes complete with other nomads on their Macs looking serious. How could it not be one of the best hostels in India for digital nomads?

Close by there’s a heavy helping of restaurants and cafes for you to dip into when you get hungry and fancy a change of scene, and why wouldn’t you? You’re in Mumbai and the food is delicious.

One of the really cool things about this place is that it seems to get a steady stream of Indian students staying there, which is great if you want to get to know more about the country itself and meet some nice people along the way too.

The food at the cafe is reeeeaallllly tasty too and its all sorts of stuff on offer in case you’ve had your fill of curries by this point. The staff can not do enough to help the guests out and the location is just a short stroll to the town and sites. Oh, and did we mention there’s a POOL??

Travelling in India can be pretty hard going, we hear ya.  So if you’re in need of a nice place to stay and a private room for some, well, privacy, we reckon this is a top choice for the best hostel in India with private rooms.

The rooms here are preeetty plush, to say the least, even the dorms are all new and chic and make you feel, like, why can’t all hostels be this nice?

The atmosphere might be lacking a little but it’s new and the owners are working on it. If you’re in Goa and want a place to get your head down and not have to worry about gross sheets and dirty bathrooms then its ideal.

Also, the location is proper near to the party areas in Calangute but far enough away that you don’t hear any of the ruckus.

We’re not sure if the owners of this top Indian hostel are massive fans of Pineapple Express or what… But this hostel is surrounded by gardens and woodlands and really chill. The private rooms on offer are really nice too and are inside huts in the garden.

So, yep, one of the best hostels with private rooms in India. Though there’s a strong hippy vibe going on, so expect a lot of hanging out around tie-dyed wall hangings and bonfires.

The Wanderlust Hostel & Guesthouse

• $$
• Cafe

Jaisalmer is a dreamy kinda place and this is a dreamy kind of hostel. One of the best hostels in India with private rooms, the rooms are all white-washed and decorated with Indian fabrics. There’s nice window seats too where you can watch the world go by below.

It kind of feels more like a guesthouse or budget hotel more than a hostel, but this top hostel in Jaisalmer is clean, plus the staff are nice and arrange good tours around the city too. There’s also a SUPER nice rooftop terrace, which makes this place even better!

The BEST Travel Backpack?!

Pssssst! Not picked the perfect travel backpack yet? The Broke Backpacker team has tried out over thirty backpacks this year! Our favourite travel backpack is the Aer Travel Pack 2.

View on AER

Here’s some gear our editors take hostelling.

1. TRTL Travel Pillow: Long flights and bus rides are quite uncomfortable (most obvious statement of the day). Most travel pillows… Well, you know how they are. TRTL travel pillow is different. I mean, look at it! It’ll cuddle you to sleep every ride and it does a pretty damn good job of supporting your neck so you don’t get that stiffness or legendary popping when you stir.

2. Noise-canceling Earbuds: Noise in hostels… is a thing. Your bunkmate coming in late, motorbike traffic just below your window, construction on the property or the round-the-clock rooster that seems to follow you to every f*cking hostel. Having a way to escape the noise while you sleep makes for a well-rested morning. Noise canceling ear-buds are a great solution, just put on your favorite artist or load a quick Netflix episode to fall asleep too.

3. Headphone Splitter: Being stuck on a bus or plane with only one phone that has good music or shows downloaded can be pretty annoying if your travel buddy wants to share headphones. With this Headphone Splitter, you won’t have to listen with only one ear anymore. Your friend can plug in their headphones at the same time, so both of you are entertained (on both ears!).

4. Active Roots Microfiber Towel: Having your own towel on your travels is a game changer. The Active Roots Microfiber Towel is perfect for travellers who are looking for a lightweight, quick-drying and extremely soft option. The antibacterial material is super water-absorbent and resists odor buildup because of its antimicrobial material. Ain’t technology cool?

5. Active Roots Toiletry Bag: Keep your bath-and-beauty items organized and in the right place with this water-resistant bag. With large compartments, mesh and enclosed clear sections, you can fit everything you might need inside. Hang it up or let it stand on its own – this bag is a must-have for dorm-lifers.

6. Playing Cards: These waterproof cards are essential kit for every backpacker. Play by the pool, beach or at your hostel after a long day with travel buds, without your cards breaking or getting soaked. And once you pull out those cards, the chance that you’ll be the hero of the night is pretty high (no promises though).
