A friend of mine used to stay at the Mandela Hostel. It had attached bathrooms and laundry service as well. The hostel is costly and the quality of food at the hostel is also good. 

The features of Mandela Hostel and Vivekananda Hostel are:

• The rooms of Mandela Hostel are spacious and are of better quality. One room is given to two occupants. 
• Mandela Hostel does not have balconies but the Vivekananda Hostel does.
• Mandela Hostel provides a nice view of the campus. The view changes based on your room in the Vivekananda Hostel.
• In addition to that, there is also a barbershop in the Mandela hostel and a café. There is unity among the students who live in Mandela.

The atmosphere of the Mandela Hostel is calm mainly because students of different states live and mingle among themselves. Vivekananda Hostel is for the freshers which give it a very warm and friendly atmosphere.
