Located in Mumbai, Hammock Hostels - Bandra features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Great place to land, super safe and super friendly generous and helpful staff. The shower situation and the fishy smell are a thing but for Mumbai this seems like a great place regardless. Beds are comfy ⭐️

Ideally located in the Western Suburbs district of Mumbai, Locomo Mini is located 2.2 miles from Prithvi Theatre, 2.3 miles from ISKCON and 3.6 miles from Bombay Exhibition Centre.

I love this hostel! I booked for one night and ended up staying more than two weeks. It has just opened, so all rooms are furnished and painted afresh. Each bed has charging sockets and a reading light. Storage boxes available is all rooms, but you have to carry your own locker. Lovely terrace and common work/leisure room on the top floor. Cleanliness is top notch - they even refurbish toilet paper! Mohammed and Arcitt from the management are amazing, however all staff is very good and well-behaved. I prefer this hostel to Locomo OG because it has a more intimate and calm atmosphere, although it offers less services.

I like the bed size I like the female staff behaviour who changed my bed from upper to lower.i like the wifi speed.the room was neat and clean..location was perfect.but I didn't not like the male staff behaviour because they are treating like a favour if I ask him to wifi password because in the room there was less signal from my phone..I didn't like the room size because it was very very small..i didn't like the ac off timing at the afternoon when there is lot of humidity.. instead of 11-5 they should off the ac 8am to 2pm.as check in time is 2pm...it's my suggestion

I recently stayed at nap manor hostel and overall, my experience was really good. The location was convenient, situated close to local transport, trains, metro which made commuting super easy. The building itself was well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and approachable, always available to assist when needed. The rooms were clean and fairly spacious, with enough storage to keep my belongings organized. My bed was comfortable, and the wifi connection was strong, which made it easy to study and stay connected with friends and family.

Located in Mumbai and with Juhu Beach reachable within 1.5 miles, Hostel Mantra provides a tour desk, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace.

The location was very good and safe, the staff was forthcoming, and our room was spacious enough. There was a small desk and a chair, which was useful for working on the laptop. Shower gel, shampoo and soap were provided, along with fresh towels. The bedding was clean. Hot water were available all the time, and the internet was strong and reliable. AC and the fan worked well and saved us from the heat.

    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.
