Thinking about backpacking in India? Travel with Zostel - India’s first chain of backpackers’ hostels; and experience the journey of a lifetime. With the chain extending to the cities of Jodhpur, Jaipur, Mysore, Goa, Delhi, Varanasi and many more, these new-gen hostels provide a wide range of creatively designed facilities. Relaxing, invigorating, and well-planned interiors make the stay delightful for the travellers!
Whether in Goa or in Mysore the flavour of the city can be felt through the beautifully crafted interiors here. Every city has a story of culture, tradition and values; which has been incorporated throughout the chain of Zostels. The essence of Rajasthani art and architecture reflects in the hostels at Jodhpur and Jaipur; while the Goan-Portuguese culture gives character to the hostel at Goa and the Indo- Saracenic architecture style manifests at Mysore!
The rich art and crafts traditions of India lend themselves to the graphics and wall arts in the Zostel premises in each city. Whether a map of Rajasthan or a camel-at-Pushkar wall-art, or a coconut-trees-and-beach themed art-work in Goa, the walls are filled with iconography that gels with the inherent characteristics of their location.
From monochromatic shades for bedroom areas to complementary, analogous colour schemes for the common areas Zostel interiors are full of charming colour combinations!
Bean bags, wooden tables, low seating, and multi coloured cupboards have been picked up and placed in the layout, to make the interiors more flexible, user-friendly and spacious.
Decor accessories are minimal - the walls themselves become a canvas and graphics /line drawings thus embellish the space. The art-work and accessories reflect the culture of the city and particularly chosen to attract the youth - the best being a guitar kept at the Goan premises. The thrust of decor remains on comfortable and casual interiors, that can be enjoyed by groups of friends holidaying on a budget!
The atmosphere is perfect to bring alive the youthful traveller in each one of us and share a safe, clean environment with the people around. The gardens, rooftops, terraces, and patios together add to the fun. Zostels have ushered in a whole new concept of travelling in India.
