Nice Place, nearest to the Metro station and market places. But they are not fun or like that community.

2/5
I chose this place because it was close to Little Mount metro station. However, it is inside a small lane - a mosque lane. Only non-veg food was available and veg was prepared if a sufficient number of people asked for it. There were 6 beds in one small room, i.e. 3 bunk beds. There was a water heater in only one of the 3 common washrooms. I had checked in at 2 pm and asked if I can stay till 11 am the next day as I wanted to rest a bit after the Chennai Marathon but the person there said extension only for 30 min max!

    Affordable and Welcoming: My Experience at a Transit Hostel"I recently stayed at Gandhi hostel that exceeded my expectations. The building looked ordinary from the outside but the interior was well-maintained and welcoming. The manager, Kishore was incredibly friendly and accommodating, always available to answer any questions I had. The dormitories were clean and spacious with comfortable beds and high-speed internet. The shared bathrooms were also clean and well-maintained. Best of all, it was very economical, making it the perfect choice for solo travelers looking to explore the city without breaking the bank. I highly recommend this transit hostel to anyone looking for an affordable and friendly place to stay.

    5/5

    It was an amazing stay! I was very sceptical first, but it's a clean place maintained by warm hearted people.since it's a shared space, you cant expect 5 star hotel experience. it's homely, good people come there, you can connect with different minds.there are dogs and cats in the space, for animal lovers, they don't harm, they just quietly sit in some corner.you need to follow rules, as it's shared space. you can use the kitchen, prepare food. bathroom is shared for 6 beds, so you need to be quick enough to complete your chores.it was a lovely experience for life in such a setting!

    ideal for women who want budgeted AC stay in a safe space. If you have sleeping difficulties bunk bed/dorm might not be a good choice for you. The food is good and hygienic; warm and friendly service
