I have heard only bad things about this hostel and their management. The people here have not evolved in 40 years and have the same rules that were applied to in the Stone Age. There is no point in arguing with them since that requires a minimum common sense. The area is good to live in but these people will make it a living hell. They treat the inmates like kids and interfere in their personal matters.

Not a safe place to stay. The staff here are very irresponsible about the safety of girls. There is no guarantee of your valuables and belongings. They provide only a very small shelf for each person which is not enough for the basic things you have. I have also heard that things get stolen from this hostel and the staff take no preventive measures or responsibility. They are also not cooperative at all.

We had checked this hostel out for my sister who was moving to Mumbai, but this hostel was like from the 90s. It says working women’s but they treat them like kids. The set of rules that exist here makes no sense except to save money for them. The curfew is till 10: 30 pm and the lights need to be switched off at 10:30 even if you have work or any imp issues. They are not allowed to go outside after having dinner which is roughly 8 pm. They even have rules controlling the way they should dress. They were also asking to pay extra for electricity if they happen to stay here at day time and even ask them to turn off the lights in their room. The rule to get back the deposit is also not reasonable and it’s mostly gone. Some of the inmates had mentioned that it gets too noisy on sundays. They make up rules once you join which they had not mentioned before.
