Live occupancy grid
See every room across every floor of every hostel in real time. Colour-coded for available, occupied, expiring and maintenance — the same visual the mobile owner app uses.
SastyBed is a free student hostel management system for universities, wardens and private hostel owners — room and bed allocation, a live occupancy grid, online & walk-in bookings, fee and rent collection, mess menu publishing, staff attendance and complaint tracking. No subscription, no card required.
Most student hostels still allocate rooms on paper and chase fees by hand. SastyBed replaces the register — every student, block, bed, payment and complaint in one dashboard, on web and mobile. Wardens see live occupancy across every block, allocate beds in seconds, collect fees with instant receipts, publish the mess menu, track staff attendance, and hand a clean monthly report to the office.
Room and bed allocation with live occupancy, online and walk-in bookings, fee and rent collection, the weekly mess menu, complaints and reports — plus multiple blocks and hostels, staff accounts with role-based access for wardens and supervisors, attendance, maintenance and inventory — all from one free dashboard.

Run your hostel online, walk-in only, or both. Students browse and book in-app; you accept from your phone, or enrol a walk-in in 30 seconds at the desk.
Stop chasing rent. Connect your WhatsApp Business number once and SastyBed sends rent-due nudges 5 days before, on the day, and 3 days after — automatically, every month, to every student.
Publish a different breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack for each day of the week. Tag dishes Veg or Non-veg, mark slots unavailable, and students see the menu live on their app.
Track every unit of money in and out. Log utilities, salaries, groceries and maintenance. Mark recurring expenses once and they auto-appear every month. Monthly PDF report ready for your accountant.
Every enrolment and every payment generates a branded receipt. Print it, or share on WhatsApp in one tap — students get a signed link that opens without logging in.
Run one hostel or fifty branches from a single dashboard. Create login accounts for your managers and staff — each limited to specific hostels and specific modules with role-based access, so everyone only sees what you allow.
Mark a 7-day staff attendance register in seconds — tap Present, Absent, Leave or Half-day for each cook, cleaner and guard. Month-to-date present counts roll up automatically, no biometric machine required.
Log resident complaints by category and severity, assign them to staff, and track each one to resolution. Rooms move to maintenance automatically on checkout — assign a cleaner, then mark them available again.
Track every asset — furniture, electronics, kitchen, fixtures — and whether you own it or inherited it from the previous owner, with a live valuation per hostel. Know exactly what's on your floor.
Bill more than just the bed. Add Mess, AC, Internet, Laundry or Security as per-student charges — the monthly fee and the receipt breakdown calculate themselves, and feed straight into your reports.
A free Android & iOS app for owners (run the hostel from your phone) and a separate app for students (search hostels, book, view the mess menu, pay). Plus WhatsApp announcements to every resident in one tap.
