The other negative reviews on this hostel are all pretty much spot on. Extremely overpriced for the location (which is nowhere near where they advertise.) Place is dirty, toilet didn't flush, air con was awful. we stayed only one night out of the planned three and moved to a cheaper place in town. I'm not a precious traveller. All I... More

This place looked so promising from the hostel bookers reviews. It's completely untrue. I had emailed for information on any tours from Delhi to Agra, most hostels like to up sell. I got a response saying they could, then nothing when I enquired about prices. I then emailed taking up their offer of airport transfer, a friend had very dangerous... More

Nirvana hostel was a strange place. I've stayed in a lot of hostels in many different cities, and I don't think I would go back to this one. It is too expensive for what you get and their advertising on hostelworld is misleading. We booked a 6 bed room but were placed in a cramped 8 bed room. It is... More

Nirvana was a fine place to stay but its quality and service does not match what is described. Firstly, Holy Cow and Nirvana are the same thing. Despite what the information suggests, there is only one hostel and very few other accommodation options in the area. In terms of what is provided, it is not worth the cost. I would... More

Nirvana hostel/Holy Cow hostel in Delhi is the gateway to hell. We stayed there three nights during christmas 2011. There was almost no hot water - or water at all! - days without electrisity and the beds are infested with bedbugs. The staff was not very helpful and did not really care that we were sitting in the dark and... More

I actually don't mind the location in Saket, it was really interesting and there's some good food in the area. Also very close to Qutb Minar. The hostel itself is pretty shoddy though and it takes a lot for me to say that. The building is in the middle of some massive construction site and the workers are on it... More

We ended up staying at this hostel 3 times as all roads lead to Delhi and we were pretty happy with it. It had a good atmosphere and fun bunch of people usually, staff were friendly. Dorm rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms, lockers, not too many people per room. Wifi even works in the bedrooms which might encourage you... More

I did not like this hostel at all. Upon my arrival, after a one hour wait for the airport pickup service, I finally got to the hostel. It's located in the middle of a construction site which makes sleep virtually impossible and the rooftop terrace useless. After being told I had to pay in advance I was showed a bed... More

Terrible terrible terrible. I'm writing about the hostel in Agra because I can't find an email or place to write review about Nirvana Hostel, Agra. Not normally one to complain but very unhappy. I paid 400 rupees to be on the wait list for the train from Agra to Delihi. I ended up getting on the train but it could... More
