- Singh (9/5): Superb - The environment and the staff Location
- Rajeev (5/5): Passable - Staff and owner behavior Location is not good. You need to walk a lot to reach the hotel. It's very difficult if you have luggage
- Raunak (7/5): Good view - The balcony. The view. The common room and balcony is adjacent to the room. Listening to the chatter of people wasn't great at night.

- Kumari (10/5): Exceptional - "I recently stayed at a hotel that was conveniently located, offering a pleasant experience overall. The view was stunning, and the accommodations were comfortable. Anjali Didi and Aayush Bhai were exceptionally kind and accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Zun Zu Hotel; the prices were reasonable, and the portions were ample. The atmosphere truly gave me a sense of being at home."

- Pusti (10/5): Exceptional - What an amazing property with a great, budget-friendly experience! The balcony view was an eye-catcher for sure. And then there are Anjali and Ayush, your hosts. Trust me, they're not just hosts; they're the best. You might enter as a stranger, but you'll leave as a new friend.
To the hosts: I didn't use any AI tool to write this review. If you know, you know 🤪 There were no advertisements or pamphlets showing the distance left for the hostel, nor were there any signs for Zu-Zu Hostel. However, I didn’t face any difficulties finding the place.

- Lakshya (10/5): Too good, would return to this hostel as soon as possible. - Everything from the vibe created by the staff to the location, this place exceeded my expectations. The staff as super friendly and the facilities as expected. I travelled with my friends and family and would highly recommend this for friends looking to enjoy their stay in Shimla. Nothing, I liked everything.

- Harshit (8/5): Great hostel with scenic views, excellent facilities, and helpful staff. - The hostel is absolutely amazing! You get stunning scenic views, top-notch facilities, and everything is super clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill and comfortable stay! The walk to the hostel is a bit steep, so be prepared if you're carrying luggage. Other than that, everything was perfect. Definitely recommend!

- Laurelie (9/5): Lovely hostel with beautiful views - Lovely hostel in Shimla. Great common area and balcony, very helpful staff, good food available and an amazing view! Great stay if you want to meet some other travelers Be aware that it is a steep 20min walk away from the city centre. Also the female dormitory has no shower, so so consider booking the mix dorm or privates!

- Dasha (8/5): Cute simple place with chill friendly staff and comfy beds! - Lovely simple chill hostel with great people running the place. Beautiful views from balconies, I would just maybe add some comfier shaded hang out space outside besides the plastic table set. Hammocks would be great under the tree! Whole place got cleaned every couple of days. Has a simple kitchen to use, they even said I could cook on the proper stove in their kitchen if I needed. I got stuck in Shimla with food poisoning for several days and they truly tried their best to take care of me, from making me simple meals to even getting me water and medicine as I had no energy to walk to town (it is very uphill and about 25ish mins to main tourist area).

- Dulanwick (10/5): Exceptional - Best place to stay in shimla. Nice view and good staff. You can order food delivery from their menu also. Good vegetarian options. Be prepared for a steep climb on your way back from the hostel.😉
- Saraswata (2/5): Not up to the expectations. - The gyser was good. The ambience was not bad. Basic arrangement was good. The location was absolutely horrible in terms of accessibility. The door locks in the room were not properly maintained as well as functional. The windowpane in the bathroom was also broken. The staffs were pretty reluctant to give an extra towel when asked for although double bedrooms were booked. The arrangement of the food was also not up to the mark. There were no room heaters even in 2°C cold. The wilt and the towels were also not cleaned up to expections.

- Ahanesh (10/5): Best hostel in shimla - Zu zu has become a great place in Shimla. I had a wonderful time there. The host was very friendly and the place was so clean. I met a lot of solo travelers from there. It's the best place in Shimla for solo travelers.

Cleanliness was top-notch, which added to the overall comfort of my stay. I felt at home the entire time.
I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Shimla! You won’t be disappointed!
Have shared the view from the hostel.
- Chidanand (9/5): Superb -
- Rajesh (8/5): Very good - Host Access road is little troublesome
This isn't that important, but...
You won't get awesome food of your heart's choice, and whatever you get will take some time to arrive, be ready to clean the dish you consume your meal in ( I don't mind but some might )
- Kenneth (8/5): Nice - Quiet and peaceful. It would have been good if it was mentioned to us that they offer lunch/dinner services. But overall, everything was great.
