The Metrostay prioritises the safety and security of all guests. With special attention to female travellers. It offers dedicated dormitories and washrooms exclusively for women, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment.
One of the guests, Sachin, shared his experience and said, "I come to Delhi frequently and usually stay at different homestays. I recently found out about this place--Metrostay is the best dormitory stay I've experienced so far. There's a lot of open space here, and from a technology standpoint, they have self-check-in through the phone."
