• Narmada: - Narmada Hostel is the best out of all the hostels due to its prime location. It’s located near Himalaya (Place for lunch and dinner) and the best part about it is that it has a bus stop located near it which allows access to almost everywhere.
• Godavari Hostel: - It is situated right opposite the Himalaya mess and it also has a garden in front of it. During the nights it provides excellent views of the city and the whole vibe of the place and makes it more comforting. It does not have a bus stop, however, it is close to Jamuna bus stop. Moreover, you can get buses from stops such as Gurunath which is the closest hostel, or the Taramani Gate.
• Jamuna Hostel: - Jamuna is the starting point of the bus services which runs through the entire premise. Jamuna Hostel also has the newest eateries and has a whole bunch of shops to choose where to get your snacks from.
