Solo Monkey Hostel Bir - formerly Social Monkey Hostel

The staff was really warm, friendly, and helpful throughout the stay. I loved the overall vibe, it was welcoming, lively, and had a great atmosphere to meet and connect with people. The location was also convenient, making the whole experience even better.

Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like about my stay.

I like the location and the view from the location.

No food service available because of shortage of gas.

This property is spacious and have an amazing location with a spectacular panoramic view of mountains. Staff here is really nice and cooperative. We even partied and played cricket in this property and all the staff members also joined. Both the owners are also helpful by nature.

Proper location is ok, not in main area. If you have a scooty/bike, it will do. Room and view is 9. 5/10 (since cupboard is small one) Plenty of parking.

Practically no service, so if you want to enjoy food, it’s easier to go outside. Not really a place to rely on for meals, the kitchen is barely functional, with a menu limited to bread omelette or poha, and most of the time it’s off. They don’t have any dedicated cook, which seems to be the reason. At times, even the staff won’t be available. Overall, the service, even compared to the likes of Zostel or other hostels, is very sub-average, as they hardly seem to have any staff. When we visited, some volunteers were managing things. So anything related to service would be off. On top of that, there’s a weird policy of not allowing food in rooms, you have to eat in common areas, which isn’t great if you’re sick.
