Also known as Hotel Satkar, this place is accredited by the Youth Hostel Association of India but don't go expecting a hostel dormitory youthful feel. This you will find at the YMCA Simla.

Also know as the Satkar Hotel, this was the hotel with the worst standards that we stayed in during our trip to India. Though it was also the cheapest, but not by much, at around 600 rupees/night.
