Positives: Clean rooms, free wireless, location (close to metro, 24h food, diverse area)
Negatives: Not a hostel (a room, some residents are renters), disturbingly impersonal, front door not always locked
If you need just a room, it's fine, but you may be able to find better value for the price.
My biggest complaint was being stuck with a room in the back by the laundry, kitchen and bathrooms. Constant traffic & noise esp during sleeping hours. Felt like a laundromat.Positives: Clean rooms, free wireless, location (close to metro, 24h food, diverse area)

Not suitable for female solo travellers. No security, no staff, just a room in a flat. To get in you have to climb up a dark staircase to a second floor apartment, where the front door is open most times, even at night. I never saw the guy who operates it. He works by pushing an envelope for payment underneath your door, and when you first arrive there is a note on the front door telling you which room you're in. The rooms are small but clean. And yes, the aircon works.

I am warning you all that this is not a hostel, it is only a room! No tour companies or taxis know where it is although they all know the stadium opposite it so it isnt a real problem. The room was fine and the a/c was great. But the only thing this place has going for it is the location- not far from little india. The owner was helpfull when aroundI am warning you all that this is not a hostel, it is only a room!
