This is the best place that I have stayed at this whole year, the staff is absolutely amazing and very well accommodating, they fulfilled all our needs and answered all queries. Other than that, the place is so so amazing and beautiful and comfortable, we booked mixed dorm but got a cabin room instead and we decided to stay more just because of how great it was. This is the best place to stay in Mumbai, even the area is good. Great facilities, Super Clean, Friendly Staff, Awesome Rooms, Good people, Actually Affordable and provides all you need. 11/10

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is simply the best hostel I have been to in India. It is amazing! Very helpful stuff, they literally helped me with everything, with all the questions I had. Very polite and professional. There was no people who would drink alcohol or party, which is a huge plus. Nobody bothered me through my stay, very safe. I am traveling alone as a female so it is important for me. Terrace is simply amazing, I spend a lot of time there. The rooms were clean, very comfortable bed. I recommend it 100%

    Locomo is by far the best hostel I have stayed in mumbai. Very neat and clean property..washrooms are extremely clean and to my surprise, the cleaning team comes thrice a day to clean the room. Very well maintained hostel and perfect stay for backpackers..Staff is wonderful and kind.. well trained and professional..They have designated guy for carrying luggage he just comes on a whim for helping with luggage. Roof top lighting’s are so amazing and evening sunset with tea and music is mesmerising.

    This was my first krazy solo hostel experience and i must admit it was really good. This place is ideal for budget travellers who are looking for clean and safe stays. The staffs are truly helpful. The location and the property is safe for travellers which is helpful for people who have late night flights. Overall, the stay was worth the money.
