“A solo traveller hoping to meet people on their first night in Lucknow has a better shot at Green Olive GoStays, where the games room and kitchen sit close together near Lucknow Junction and the 16-review base, while small, suggests an active if modest crowd. BNT BOYs Hostel's evening entertainment is harder to bank on with only one review so far. Neither city option comes close to a big-city hostel social calendar, so expectations should be set accordingly.”
BNT BOYs Hostel sits on Sitapur Road on Lucknow's edge, with private bathrooms, a work desk in every room and a buffet breakfast that includes vegetarian and Asian dishes. Pets are allowed, the property is non-smoking throughout, and free private parking is available for anyone arriving by car.
Green Olive GoStays puts KD Singh Stadium a 16-minute walk away and Lucknow Junction 2.6 kilometres out, with private bathrooms, a work desk and city or landmark views from balcony rooms. A shared kitchen, games room and lounge cover the social side, and solo travellers rate the location 9.1 out of 10.

Book early in your Lucknow stay if the social side matters, smaller properties like these depend on who else is there that week.
