Located in New Delhi, Moustache Hostel Delhi provides free WiFi. The property is situated 5 km from Humayun's Tomb. The property is set in the New Friends Colony district, 7 km from Pragati Maidan.

Guests at the adult only hostel can enjoy a continental breakfast.

The dorm on the top floor was great, very spacious and clean. The shared bathrooms were ok, sometimes not perfectly clean but the water was hot and, even if they were shared between many dorms, you didn't have to wait long to get in the shower. The hostel is in a posh area and the neighboorhood is very calm and safe. The main asset of this hostel is the vibe, the people I met there were amazing and I had a great time! I would definetly recommend it to anyone that want to meet nice people.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Probably the best hostel in Delhi. Superb team of friendly, helpful staff, a very sociable atmosphere, with close proximity to Laxmi Nagar metro station, from where you can explore all of Delhi conveniently and cheaply. Lively street outside has a great selection of budget street food and events/tours are on offer most days. The perfect base from which to explore Delhi.
