New-age PG Hostel – Striking A Balance Between Safety & Privacy

If you’re thinking about moving into PG rooms, then don’t bail out. Sure, you might be hesitant about the idea of moving into a confined space full of people. You know, given the pandemic isn’t over yet. But here’s the thing, the new-age PGs are neither about packed spaces. Nor do they roll the dice on your safety. In fact, they’re super equipped with proper safety measures. Oh, and not to forget, even while maintaining such a controlled environment, they do not cross the thin line between providing safety and invading your privacy.

And of course, we know this first hand because it’s our everyday task to ensure the same for 80,000+ young folks like you. Ones who are living in our 450+ Stanza Living residences across 24+ cities. So you know where we get our motivation to speak about this in detail. Now, let’s read about how new-age paying guest accommodations like Stanza Living manage to strike a balance between safety and privacy. Unlike media moguls. Shady mobile apps. And that hostel senior who promises to be your shield (without you ever asking for it!) only to freeload off your snacks every day.

How Exactly is The New-age PG Hostel Raising The Bar For Safety and Privacy

These are the reasons why we can say that new-age PGs are striking the balance between safety and privacy:

Looking for a place with tech-enabled security and a 24×7 e-butler? Check out our Stanza Living co-living spaces.

Man vs Machine

The good thing about using technology to ensure safety in living spaces is that it removes the possibility of human error. And more than that, human curiosity. Let us explain what we mean. If a biometric system marks your attendance, it marks your attendance. It doesn’t know how to do more than that. But the guy sitting on the entry register does. So they might just ask a question or two along with it. Like where have you been? Who was that person that dropped you at the gate? And etc. etc. In short, doing digital check-ins and check-outs are much safer and error-proof than security personnel with a mouth full of paan and a tongue full of invasive questions.

No On-the-fly Measures

God knows we don’t need the systems that protect us to be made on the go. We rely on them to start assisting us only after meticulous planning and careful testing. And this is what a professionally-managed accommodation like Stanza Living does. All our safety measures are tried and tested and approved by reputed third-party agencies. So you can be sure there’s no room for goofing around given the level of accountability put on us.

Transparency

Compared to ordinary youth hostels managed by landlords, professionally managed PGs owe greater accountability to you. So they can’t skip being answerable given their entire business functions on your reviews and feedback online. That essentially means you should ask them about everything that concerns your safety and well-being. So the more transparency they practice, the more you can chill about your privacy issues.
