Guest as saying

Enjoyed the stay at zostel. Friendly staff and hospitality was on point. However the room i stayed in, the shower was broken and no alternative room offered. I used shared shower which wasnt an issue but would have preferred to have a room change as thats what i paid for. The rest was ok. Needs improvement. QR ordering system disconnects the human experiance. Would have like more explanations to certain aspects i.e. wifi, alternative options and washing clothes. All in all would recommend 3/5.

Best place in Srinagar for bagpackers and solo travellers. There are other hostels as well. I tried them all, but nothing beats Zostel in terms of vibes and people and social interactions. Staff is very kind. Food is okayish in the cafe. Rooms are good and clean and common area is where I spent most of my time. Met amazing people and ended up booking most of stay here. Location is a bit far from the city but also is closer to all the gardens and the dal lake. And you can easily get a shared taxi right outside the Zostel that can take you to the Lal chownk in just 35 rs. Location is actually the best in terms of quiet, serenity and evening and late night walks.

Best place to stay as a solo traveler

10.0

Staying at Zostel Srinagar was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had a really comfortable vibe that made it feel like a home away from home. What made the experience even better was the staff — they were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything.A special thanks to Irfan bhai and Mudasir bhai. They didn’t treat me like just another guest; they treated me like a younger brother. Their warmth and friendliness made the stay even more memorable.I also loved the opportunity to connect with other solo travellers from different places and share stories and experiences. Overall, it was an amazing stay and a place I’ll definitely remember whenever I think about Srinagar.

10.0

The location is perfect for exploring, with easy airport access and a peaceful atmosphere for restful sleep. The cleanliness of the property is top-notch, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. While the facilities are impressive overall, the garden could use some improvement. However, the overall experience is fantastic, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.
