Reviews of Friends Hostel by Backpackers Heaven- New Delhi Railway Station – Paharganj

• Nancy from Canada – 25 October 2024 (8/10)

  I really appreciated how helpful staff were in helping me sort out money exchange, a SIM card, and train ticket. Also picking me up from the airport with a custom name card was a nice touch. I planned to stay in a dormitory room, but ended up with a private one with a giant bed and cozy sleeps. The entrance is hard to find as it goes through a little alley, but luckily someone came out to meet me from the taxi drive and carried my bag in. Was also allowed to chill after check out time while I waited for my train departure time. Felt very well cared for and looked after.

• Rachel from Australia – 3 March 2024 (8/10)

  I had a problem with the room that I was first given and the staff quickly moved me to another room, no questions asked. I liked the new room a lot more. I was very impressed with how much they cared for my comfort.
  
  What could be improved: Clean, comfortable bed, and super hot water (which is very rare in Delhi).

• Martin from United Kingdom – 28 November 2023 (8/10)

  Staff were helpful and friendly, spoke good English and accommodated my needs when i had a 10pm flight, they let me stay in the room for half price rather than full day. Rooms were clean and good quality, slept like a baby. Can be noisy but the sound of the room fan cancels it out. All good
  
  What could be improved: Neighbourhood is chaotic but always felt safe, I really enjoyed it but worth noting for some as it is very intense, definitely wouldn't be for everyone.
