Unclean rooms, missing toiletries and cigarette smoke
Guest as saying
If you are a non-smoker, I would not recommend booking this hostel. The room has only one window, which opens into the lobby, and cigarette smoke constantly comes into the room from the lobby. It can be very uncomfortable if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke.

Solo Traveller • India • Sep 2026People talk of Naddi point for the sunset view, but i got my best sunset of the trip sitting right at the top of my hostel. Zostel McLeodganj is located at a walkable distance from main market, has splendid views of mountain ranges from its terrace. Lively ambience, clean washrooms & linens. The staff on the reception is extremely kind and friendly. The housekeeping staff is also very helpful. The current volunteer and an amazing DJ is full of life and suggested great cafes and changes in my itinerary that made my trip all the more unforgettable. If you're looking for a hostel in McLeodganj, be it as a solo traveller, a couple, or a group- don't even think twice, just go ahead and book this place. It'd definitely be your best choice.
