Begin with the monthly amount
Ask whether the quoted tariff is per person or per room, which room category it applies to, and whether the price changes with AC/non-AC selection or occupancy. Get the validity period of the quote and ask whether any registration or admission charge applies.
List every extra cost
Ask about the security deposit, refund timeline, notice period, electricity, air conditioning, internet, meals, laundry and housekeeping. Do not assume these are included because another property offers them. If a service is optional, estimate what it would cost you to arrange separately.
Include travel and daily convenience
Location affects both time and transport spending. Check the actual route to your college or workplace and consider how often you will travel. AS HOSTEL is near Andhra University, and the beach is within walking distance; ask the team for directions to your specific destination instead of relying on an unverified commute time.
Compare room sharing fairly
A single room and a four-sharing room are not directly comparable on price alone. Check how many residents share the room, washroom access, storage, ventilation and privacy. Calculate the amount per resident and compare only similar room arrangements.
Understand the facilities and house rules
Ask what is available on site and how residents can use it. AS HOSTEL highlights 24/7 security, lift access and indoor games. If other amenities are important, confirm availability and charges directly. Read the visitor rules, quiet hours, payment terms and cancellation policy before paying.
Use a simple comparison sheet
Create two columns—hostel and PG—and enter monthly tariff, deposit, utilities, food, travel, laundry, other charges and refund conditions. Mark each item as included, extra or not confirmed. This makes the decision easier to explain to parents and reduces surprises after move-in.
Ask for a written AS HOSTEL quote
For current room options and tariffs, contact AS HOSTEL at 93921 36919 or as.hostel@gmail.com. Share your move-in date, preferred sharing type and budget. Compare the written quote with other properties on the same basis before deciding.
