Zostel is a hostel chain with over 60 locations across India and Nepal [1] [2]
Zostel Hospitality Pvt. Ltd was established in August 2013 [3] by seven co-founders, [4] [5] who initiated their venture with the launch of the first Zostel in Jodhpur, Rajasthan on 15 August 2013. [6]
In November 2014, the founders launched a new project called ZO Rooms, which aimed to provide budget-friendly hotel accommodations and aggregate hotel rooms. [7] [8] [9] [10] There were reports that ZO Rooms was acquired by rival OYO Rooms, [11] [12] in an all-stock deal in December 2015, which was later denied by OYO. [13]
Zostel offers various accommodation options such as dormitories and private rooms. [14]
