We've lived in hostels too.

One sketchy kettle too many

Hosteler started in 2024, in a 9×10 room in Delhi. Our co-founder's kettle short-circuited during exam week, and the “waterproof” mattress protector from the market was anything but.

We realised every hostel room has the same problem: you need a mattress protector, a study lamp, a kettle, a storage box, and you end up buying them from four different places, none of which understand what a hostel room is actually like.

So we built one store that does. Every product is picked by ex-hostel students, tested for hostel conditions, and priced for a student budget.
