What New Door Hostels does

Good Host Spaces, operating under the brand New Door Hostels, is a private Indian operator of purpose-built captive student housing serving university students across India. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Mumbai, the company partners directly with universities to develop, own, and operate on-campus residential facilities, managing over 20,000 beds across four campuses: Manipal University Jaipur (5,000 beds in 3,000 centrally air-conditioned rooms), O.P. Jindal Global University in Sonipat (7,100+ beds in 2,400 rooms across 80+ acres), Shoolini University in Solan (serving 2,000+ students annually), and T A Pai Management Institute in Manipal (1,000 beds in 600+ rooms). The facilities are designed for full-service student living, including European-style attached bathrooms, centralized air conditioning, Wi-Fi, 24/7 security and CCTV, medical centers with ambulance service, food courts featuring branded outlets (Subway, Domino's, Cafe Coffee Day, Amul), recreational amenities (gym, swimming pool, sports courts, 50+ seater cineplex), and gender-segregated housing blocks.

The company's core technology is its purpose-built captive student housing infrastructure integrated with a centralized facility management platform. It uses SpaceBasic (spacebasic.com) as its online room booking, payment processing, and student portal system, supporting transactions via RTGS, NEFT, DD, Paytm, and UPI. Wholly-owned subsidiaries — Good Host Spaces (Sonipat) Pvt. Ltd. and Good Host Spaces (Shoolini) Pvt. Ltd. — operate specific campuses as regional entities.

Good Host Spaces operates on a B2B2C business model. Its primary revenue stream is annual subscription-based room rentals from students (Single, Double, Triple, and Quadruple occupancy tiers, all-inclusive of rent, maintenance, and housekeeping), billed annually per academic year and non-refundable after commencement. Secondary revenue comes from usage-based ancillary services including gym/health club access, laundry, premium Wi-Fi, and parent guest house facilities. Pricing is publicly disclosed via the online booking portal. Distribution is exclusively through long-term direct B2B contracts with universities, with students acquiring rooms through university housing channels rather than open-market sales.
