Zostel @ Bir | Hotel review

Cool, clean, nice ambience, economic, hygiene and comfort are what define the place. It has beautiful half open and half covered terrace to enjoy the winds as well as shade. You can sit and enjoy the juggling of paragliders up in the sky.

There is a big central hall, with something for everyone. Board games, books, bean couches, sofas and LCD. You can relax and watch TV, socialize with others over games or simply enjoy the serene environment. Else, can connect to wi-fi and browse through internet. The wall art gives place a real cool look.

The most impressive part is that they don’t allow shoes inside the zostel, hence all dirt and dust is restricted outside. Inside it is very clean as a result. Other common rules are alcohol consumption is not allowed, no smoking inside the rooms, Keep noise under check post 11. Though there are no latches in the room, but there are big lockers for the safe custody of your valuables. Lockers are big enough to accommodate your luggage. Due care is taken to maintain privacy of each bed in dorm as well. Each cot has charging point and a flexi light if you want to read in bed without disturbing others.

Support staff at Zostel is humble, one may not like the rural accent of the locals and may mistake them as rude. Also they may make arrangement for hire of bicycle or scooty at hostel itself, may introduce you to the vendor. Usually the vendor is sitting at the reception area only. And all this is not too pricey, it all comes for a very nominal costs. Though they have a kitchen, but food is sad and bad. There are lot of small and good eateries nearby to savour. Better to explore the local eating joints.

We usually look for a safe, clean and comfortable place when outside home and zostel offers it all for an easy on pocket price. You will be disappointed if you look forward to a luxurious hotel stay.
