Zostel is India's first chain of backpackers' hostels for people who are passionate about travel. Zostel started out in late 2013, founded by a bunch of IIT-IIM and MDI alumni and currently has eight Zostel properties in India—in Jodhpur, Jaipur, Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Goa, Vadodara and Varanasi—carefully chosen for their proximity to prominent monuments, cultural icons and other landmarks. The company offers travelers rooms at budgets of INR 500 a day and has managed to get good traction.
The hostel is consciously designed as a dorm. Every property has a common room, equipped with a PlayStation, foosball tables and board games, encouraging guests to mingle. There is also a stocked kitchenette for those inclined to cook a meal or two. Beds are priced at little less than $8 (Rs500) per night—and the occupancy rate currently stands at a healthy 80%.
