I've been to the top Hostels in Delhi, this is the one I'll always come back to.”
So I am a solo female traveler and there is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable in the place you're supposed to be living, especially in a country with so many men. I tried Zostel and Backpackers Panda but had to leave each time because of how unprofessional and unsafe I felt (I wasn't the only one who felt that way too), but at Backpackers Hostel it was the exact opposite. The staff are incredibly nice and go above and beyond to make you feel at home but they also just let you be in your own space (that's important when you're sharing a room with seven other people). They have AC, clean sheets, soft pillows, hella bathrooms, tons of restaurants nearby, AND THE WIFI IS INCREDIBLY FAST!!! By the time I came to Backpackers Hostel I was finishing up my trip to India and just wanted a place to relax a bit before my flight home. I'm sad I didn't find this place sooner, but next time I'm in Delhi I'm definitely crashing here. *Also, if you needed more proof on how amazing this place is, they scheduled a taxi for me to the airport for only 400Rs. If you've ever tried to order a taxi to the airport or have someone order for you in Delhi they will almost always try to charge you in the thousands--even Uber charges you a bit more. And a tip, if you're looking for a cheap and decent restaurant nearby that won't make you sick, try Madan Cafe. I fell in love with their Fruit Muesli and Chopsuey.

Very recommended backpackers hostel in Delhi!!!”
I love everything! The location, very easy to find! The cost, very affordable! The rooms are always cleaned! The staff and owners are VERY friendly and cute! I mean it. This is the place! Location is very good, it's in Paharganj. Few walk and you're in the New Delhi railway. And few walks opposite, you're in the Metro. This made my stay in India very nice! I want to go back.

I had such a great time here!”
The staff is so friendly that I felt right at home! Not only are they located within the market and close to places you can eat, the way they decorated the hostels in visually pleasing. The beds were clean and the lockers were big enough to fit my big bag which was great. Also, it was within 10 minutes walking distance of the station which made it easy to reach. I would stay here again if I was on a budget!

Beware being taken advantage of”
I came here my first day in Delhi and asked for help in finding a map and booking a train. After talking with the hostel manager, they brought me to their office, where they proceeded to sell me a train ticket and a booking for a few days south of Delhi. After paying premium for the arrangements (2 nights with train travel between), I learned the two places they gave me first didn't have pillows on the beds and second didn't have wifi. And yet they'd charged me almost $200 USD. I will admit I was stupid about the arrangement and so taken advantage of. But would not recommend the hostel based on this experience to anyone but the most budget conscious travel (beds here are ok, accommodations are dirty as a whole, and the management takes advantage of unsuspecting tourists)

Cheap and easy everything is OK”
Everything was good enough for the price. They didn't have change when I paid just like everywhere in India and I don't mind it at all but one of the staff got angry when I asked the change back later. There is absolutely no point to be aggressive for the very normal conversation for the hostel. The other staff were great

Everything about the hostel stay itself was amazing”
The staff who run the place were great, but the tourist agent there ended up over charging for a relatively simple practice and then lied to me concerning whether the next hostel would be booked completely for me. As with anything in India, listen to the locals for advice but in the end book your own things and be aware that this area of the city has a reputation around the country for scam artists (due to the influx of tourists). Standard hostel stay; free water for refilling water bottles, bunk bedded rooms with isolated lights, outlets and lockers per bunk. Roof could be cleaned and maintained better for a nice chill place to hang out and all staff are friendly and speak well in English while they try to learn other languages as well.

Befuddled why this place has so many rave reviews”
Clean beds and good wifi, but gross baths, no hot water, common area is a small dirty entrance room and their vibe is off-puttingly unfriendly. There’s signs posted everywhere that you aren’t allowed to keep your luggage on hold after checkout or stay in the common area past 5pm (so...what does one do if they have a late flight? I’ve never seen a policy like this in a hostel before, ever). Also, they straight up turned the lights out on a small group of us in the common room at 9:30, and we were just having a normal conversation level, it wasn’t loud or party-like. Huh? Would not stay again.

OK FOR INDIA”
(1) TOILETS not scrubbed daily. (2) TOILETS do not flush properly. They swirl water but weak suction. (3) PILLOWS & BLANKETS need to be washed. Not washed between customers. Very unhygienic. It's India. Standards are lower. Just go out onto the street and see the trash, the urinals in view, the dust & dirt.
