AI Summary
The staff is friendly, helpful, and proficient in English, offering quick assistance. Convenient location near amenities, though slightly far from airport and train stations.

Every thing is good but they are a lier about being fully air-conditioned. AC is only available at night not in day time. If you are planning to take rest in morning or afternoon forget about it. Sometimes they even turn of the fan. Rest of the things are good. And yes dont bring your car with you.

It is a good hostel for solo travelers.washrooms and rooms were clean.Handwash,soap etc were there in shared bathroom.Kitchen is there with oven, refrigerator and necessary utensils.Terrace was also fine.Ac timings was around 8 pm to 8 am.But i was not there in day time so that's not problem for me.I suggest small fan should be equipped with every bed in the corner.Only two small fans in 8 bed dorimetry is not a good.It may be problematic if somebody want to stay in day.If you are traveler or having work in day and want to spend evening and night ,this hostel is great choice.

Hierarchy of events 1) We were denied check-in despite having a booking for 24 hours, reason being that we were not religiously pure as we were there in the city for cremation, After 24 hours we were granted the luxury of check in. 2) Despite booking an AC room, we were forced to pay 500 RS extra per room to avail AC. 3) One of our Room was flooded with dirty water. Never going back again in this pathetic hotel ever again.

It is a good place to live, it is located in South Delhi, needs more private space in the desired hostel, nice place at the end of the day 😃

My travel Experience is average not very much good it's like a normal hostel stay The Desire Stay in Malviya Nagar is decent for a short-term stay, but there are a few areas that need improvement. The location is convenient, with easy access to nearby markets and public transport. However, the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas could be better maintained. The staff is polite but not very proactive when it comes to addressing issues. Basic amenities like Wi-Fi and hot water were available, but the quality was inconsistent at times. The food provided was average and lacked variety.

I stayed in the 8 people dorm here and in my opinion this hostel is quite an average place and not well maintained. The linen and blankets were also not very clean. The only plus point for me was that i met a bunch of interesting people there. But overall there are better hostels in delhi available at a slightly higher price.
