| The hostel could provide towel & soap | ||

| Stay was fine...although I froze during the cold water bath at 6 deg :). I took the room with a bath and 2 beds which was decent..but I am not sure about the quality of the dorms. It should cost about 300 INR from the airport (use prepaid taxi) | ||

| IN the coldest season of Delhi, there was problem in getting hot water. Food service was quite bad. Instead of simple buffet style, food was placed in plate and handed over. The items not liked get wasted. In morning breakfast not even half egg omlett was given...that too it was over fried. The breads were cold pieces and not toasted and the toaster was not kept accessible to customers. With the facilities available, the service could have been much better. | ||

| This place is very institutionalized - but I don't mind that. What I find unacceptable is the hot water situation or rather the lack of it. I stayed in room 218. The water heating system is only on in the morning but if the solar system used to heat the water is functioning, it isn't bringing hot water into the room. I was advised to let the water run for 20 minutes. I was horrified by the idea of so much water being wasted but in my case I let the water run for an hour and the water never got beyond tepid. Not very nice. What's the point of trying to be Eco-friendly by using solar heaters when you waste water as a result. | ||

| I would suggest that for online resesrvations made kindly give provisison for including the hostel membership number .. i ahd carried my booking confirmation letter but that didnot have my membership number anywhere and ended up taking additional membership..
otherwise had a nice stay at Delhi.youth hostel.
another point as the defective water supply,, there was problem with the hot water mixer .. on first dat water was boiling and next days , it was cold ,, as there was no hotwater supply.
break fast was fine.. even one day had dinner that.. too was good. security staff were really nice. It would be nice if somewhere near panchasheel marg a borad showing directions to Yoth hostel is placed.. most of the maps have panchasheel marg and kautilya marg .. but not nyaymarg.. so for first timers to locate , it would be a great help especially during nights , when there wot be anyone around in diplomatic enclave | ||

| No attached bathroom, no hot water, no heater in the room in the winter time. I changed two rooms and finally got a reasonable room still no hot water in the room. the maintenance people and the reception desk are not cooperative. I was staying in the hostel for the last 4 years, twice in a year. But No improvement. I don't have any other choice. | ||

| Definitely better experience than last time. Staff listened and understood the reasons for my last negative feedback.
After staying in many other hostels in different countries, I still think this hostel has amazing untapped potential to be the best place for backpackers in Delhi. | ||

| The elevator stinks like a dustbin. The watchmen beat their sticks noisily all night. Food is overpriced. Go to official indian state canteens nearby for much courteous staff, tastier yet properly priced meals (according to Indian standards). By the way, wifi is NOT available on any floors but the canteen. | ||

| I really enjoyed my stay here. It was quiet, the food was lovely and it was a bonus to find wifi available. I will definitely stay with you again in the future and will recommend your hostel to my friends. The showers were lovely and the air conditioning was wonderful. | ||
