I had a wonderful stay at Sair hostel! It's a very new hostel, so don't let the small number of reviews scare you off. It's a small hostel, which is good, a warmer atmosphere, you can meet other people. And the staff is amazing and they're trying to create a friendly social atmosphere, more like a community thing, where you do things together. The hostel itself is nice, freshly renovated, very clean and tidy, the dorms have everything you need. And the location is great, near Assi ghat! Plus there's a very cute rooftop area, where you can chill or hang out with others. Would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially solo travellers! :)

I’m a solo traveler who’s been to many different places in India, and I can highly recommend 3 Raahi Hostel for your next stay. The staff are incredibly helpful and make sure you have everything you need. The rooms are very nice, air conditioning works perfectly, and the bathroom in our room was cleaned by the staff every day.

Location was excellent within 200 mts of all temples. Care taker boy ritik was simply superb and very helpful. I strongly reccomend to take help of ritik to exploring all the places which was very helpful for us. Antique house converted into hotel which was a unique experience to stay for us.

great hostel, exactly what you’d expect from a backpacker hostel. Great common area (games room, guest shower, terrace with kitchen). Really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. we stayed for holi, and when things got a bit rowdy in town we came back here where there was a really nice party (very safe, with checks of who was allowed in and who not). the people who work there are super friendly and accommodating for traveler’s needs (clear info and help, even provided extra soap and towel to use for our post holi shower). highly recommend!

Perfect location. The hostel really exceeded my expectations, super clean and great facilities. Staff were friendly and all the people I met were friendly too. It felt super safe. The neighbourhood was also very safe. Great location for the old town. I was sad to leave and will return!
