All wonderful, the place is away from civilization and you can have a really chill and relaxing time. There are some small hikes also around this beautiful area. Their food is excellent and the staff is so kind and aware of all our needs.

Overall everything is good. The rooms are comfortable, the bathroom is good and there is hot water. When you step out of the room door there is always a mountain view, perfect. The food is good, delicious. The location is in the middle of 3 different towns, but it is about 5 or 10 minutes walking distance to everywhere. Close to mountaineering and climbing routes. The environment and people are good. If I go to Mcleodganj again, I will stay at this hostel again.

Great hostel with really nice vibe, met lots of great travellers there. It’s in a good location, loads of things to do, you just need to be ready for the steepish hills but that’s like all places round here. Really comfy beds, good food, pranav really helpful helping me book train tickets and arrange taxis etc

When the monsoon rolled in unexpectedly, my husband and I were seriously considering cutting our trip short. But staying at Hostel Stories turned everything around for us. The manager was incredible... calm, reassuring, and genuinely kind. He made us feel completely at home and told us not to worry about our plans. He even let us stay and decide on the fly when we wanted to leave, never once rushing us for payment or pushing for a decision. You rarely come across hospitality this warm and honest. Honestly, that alone deserves a 10/10. The vibe is peaceful, the people are lovely, and the views of Dharamkot’s lush green hills make it a perfect retreat. Highly recommend this place, not just for the stay, but for the people who make it special. We'll definitely be back.

The extremely friendly host, Alizeh, and the staff. Rio, the cutest dog in the world. The perfect rooftop cafe and mountain views. Plenty of amenities. Clean bathrooms. Occasional discounts. Affordable prices and clean rooms. Even if I had tried to find something to criticize, I couldn't find anything to criticize about this wonderful place.

The location is perfect. Easy to reach upper dharamkot, a lot of thing happening around Bhaggsu, Mcleod ganj not so far away. Rooms are nice, people there are helpful. Also- it is a perfect place to meet other like minded travellers. Feels like home away from home.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

We spent a few days at Thrillomania and were pleasantly surprised by the kindest of the staff. We spent some time with Rajesh who was so kind, he helped us with anything we needed help with and guided us with things to do in Dharamashala. The hostels in a great location, with a short walk into each 3 different areas of Dharamashala, which was great for us. Definitely would recommend this hostel if you’re coming to Dharamashala!

This is the perfect hostel to stay. I fully enjoyed my time there. Big thanks for management. They were not only friendly but also caring. As a solo girl traveler, I felt very safe and like at home. The common area is very comfy and cozy, we watched movies, played games and overall had a lot of fun. The food was very tasty, and you will have enough options. The room and bed were clean and pretty well designed. You can always meet new people and make some new friends. Good people and good travelers community are there.
