For all you budget backpackers out there, this is the perfect little hostel that understands the concept of cheap as well as comfortable and cute.  While the Indiranagar version comes with its own quirks, the Lavelle Road hostel comes with an interesting Madhubani mural on its wall, bright bean bags to lounge around, and a bunk bed system. They have AC and non-AC dorms. Each bunk bed comes with a curtain to give you some privacy They also have all-female, all male and mixed dorms.

Don’t want to live with other people? Not to worry they have AC and non-AC private rooms as well with attached bathrooms. Each room also comes equipped with a kettle, and if this is kinda starting to feel like your old college dorm scenes where you could create magic with a pot of hot water {late night Maggi or tea anyone?}, then you are kind of right.

Apart from cosy sleeping arrangements they also have a games rooms filled with board games, DVDs, a pool table as well as a play station. Free wifi, laundry facilities, and hot showers this place can be kind of like a home away from home.
