Zostel Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

The staff is really friendly and helpful. Easy to join on the tours they organize to the caves. The city itself positively surprised me. The jamming session on Sunday was amazing, such a talented group of musicians. I;m not positive about the on site restaurant (by another operator I guess): super slow service and the staff cares more about their phones than serving guests

The only and therefore the best hostel in Aurangabad! A decent place to stay a night or two while you explore the nearby caves and attractions. Beds were clean and comfortable but there were no curtains. Bathroom was likewise clean and well maintained, and segregated by gender which was a plus. Staff were helpful but its not a super friendly place. Not a lot of travelers and mostly Indians going through for work, so if you are looking for buddies to split a cab and explore Ajanta and Ellora with, tough luck

Hostel and bathroom was clean and tidy, but not enough showers/toilets - there was always a line. No fridge/kitchen facilities. I was pressured to go on one of their tuktuk tours and when I declined, was pressured to travel with a local tourist who was completely incompatible with me. She turned out to be a scammer. Quite a few old Indian men staying at this hostel. Lots of local tourists, few westerners.
