Hostel Osara features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bodh Gaya. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests.

When I looked at the pictures of the hostel, they were all perfect and all the reviews were strangely high !!!! also all the reviews written one month ago!! I thought it is scam but when i went it was truth Armaan is the owner and founder of this hostel, which is the first hostel in the state of Bihar!!! He was very generous, friendly and respectful man. He is one of those people who quickly enter the heart with their morals and purity and make you feel like he is your old best friend. After I lost my coat in the market, Armaan lent me his Punjabi coat called "fern" I met very nice and respectful friends and tried new indian dishes there I spent the most beautiful two nights of my life in the first hostel I experienced in my life!! I wanted to stay longer, but my time was limited I hope to visit budhgaya and the hostel again in the future one day

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.

    Rooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean, location is very nice, just walking distance from Gaya junction. And it's road is 24 hours working, so even if somebody is coming or leaving late at night. You can easily get an autos rickshaw and other transport. Food is available at street 24 hours, and hotel food items are also amazing. Housekeeping is very nice, rooms are cleaned daily. Overall it's a nice stay, budget friendly equipped with all the necessary facilities.

    We have booked a stay for one night and informed the owner about our late check in due delayed train. He agreed for the same, we reached the hostel but he neither opened the door nor answered calls. My wife and I had been waiting for 45 min at the door at 3 am in the morning which was not safe. We left the hostel very frustrated as well as we were not able to get any vehicle to come back to the station. This is very pathetic please look into this.

    The hostel was one of the only hostel in Gaya so it's very affordable for budget travellers. The host was very good in nature and we had a lot of conversation about different topics. He also help me out find different touristic places around. Also there are two very friendly dogs over there and you can't resist playing with them. Hygiene is maintained properly and the breakfast is also good. Overall if you want an wholesome experience with your stay in Gaya you can book here.
