The stay was very comfortable. The beds were clean and comfortable. Also, the view from the terrace was awesome as I could spot emu and ostrich from there. This was way more than any one could expect in the heart of the city and a blessing for animal enthusiasts. Hope to meet the hosts again.

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.

    Gibbon is decent place for people who want to stay a night or two. You can meet new people here. I liked the location and I liked the overall hospitality. We had a safe stay there. The gyser worked good.

    Location was good, a 10 minute walk from Paltan Bazar. The price was very cheap which suited a backpacker trying to manage on a shoe string budget. I stay in a single bed room with a shared bathroom which doesn't bother me in the slightest. I would highly recommend Namaskar Homestay who is travelling to Guwahati.

    Brilliant staff and great location and the price can't be beaten anywhere else in the neighborhood.....Kamakhya temple 5-7 km but the local bus runs all the time which is easier and cheaper way to travel there....

    Stayed at Mezenga Backpackers for a day during my Guwahati trip. Opted for a mixed dorm and was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and safety it offered. The staff was genuinely hospitable. While the bathrooms weren't top-tier, they were functional and served the purpose. Overall, a satisfactory stay for solo travelers. 👍

    Having stayed at the 'other' budget hostel in guwahati, I can now say that for me Gibbon is the better of the two currently listed on booking.com Gibbon has WAY better vibe and layout and while it is basic and could be cleaner, you get what you pay for. I meant to stay one day and ended up here one week. It's close to shops well lit at night. There's a ping-pong table but no means to play it.....

    The place was aesthetic and clean. I switched my room from a 4-bed dormitory room to a standard double room. The room was amply spacious. One could find the bathroom in this particular room type a bit small but it was manageable. Particularly I liked the homestay aesthetic more compared to the hostel rooms. I did not get a chance to explore the in-house food options (not even sure if that option exists), but overall I’d recommend this place.

    You are going to find true backpackers here. This is the best hostel in the whole north east. The hosts were amazing as they were more like your friends and the owner of the hostel. Even I back packed with the owner of the hostel to Nagaland Hornbill festival
