Zostel

Zostel is a chain of backpacker hostels primarily operating in India and Nepal. Founded in 2013, Zostel aims to provide affordable and social accommodation for travelers, particularly young adults and solo travelers. Their hostels typically offer dorm rooms and private rooms, along with common areas designed to encourage interaction amongst guests. These common areas often include spaces for socializing, games, and sometimes co-working.

Zostel distinguishes itself through its emphasis on creating a community atmosphere, often organizing activities and events for guests. This focus on community building is a core part of the Zostel experience.

Beyond accommodation, Zostel has expanded into offering curated travel experiences, including tours and treks, primarily within India and Nepal. The company also operates "Zostel Plus" properties, which are generally positioned as offering a more premium hostel experience.
