Shiv Shakti Hostel

European couple here. After reading a few blogs online I noticed this hostel being recommended quite frequently. We were bitterly disappointed soon after arrival and actually had to cut our stay short first thing in the morning after our first night (refund not offered) due to the room being a complete health hazard. The sheets had not been changed when we arrived, full of hair and dirt. These were changed when requested but unfortunately this really was just the tip of the iceberg. The entire ceiling was damp and mouldy. The pillows were thick with black mould, the ceiling was leaking water creating a swimming pool in the hallway. The room was infested with cockroaches. It was the room from hell, I honestly do believe it would be harmful to your health staying here. I do not normally feel comfortable leaving such negative reviews however I really wish I had seen the reality of this hostel before turning up at midnight with no other choices until the morning.

Worst administration, they disturb customers at 1am in the night for paying the total booking amount (which can be taken in the morning also). They pressurize customers for the amount in the night itself. So traumatizing. Horrifying experience.

They have a nice staff. Very nice room. Great AC and TV services. The room had a good toilet and very big comfortable bed. I stayed very comfortably. Very silent atmosphere. They were quite flexible when I asked them to stay in the room extra time.

Almost no room service. AC was not functioning at all. Check in was delayed due to room unavailability of room. HORRIBLE STAY as I stayed with my senior citizen parents.View is good from the room. Thanks.

Overall the place was neat and clean. Staff was very respectful, especially the Receptionist who suggest us places to visit nearby. Overall good experience. Nothing bad, beds and pillow was neat and clear. AC working absolutely fine.
