    This is a very special hostel and location.the beds were very comfortable. Every bed has its own fan and there is AC at the night. This was a bit annoying because other guests used their fan on the highest level during the night, which is very loud. I stayed a few hours longer after checkout in the common area, which was ok. I didn't feel very welcome after checkout though. I liked the location at this little market street. Was very authentic.

    The fishmarket outside (not the hostel's fault)

    I'm a five time guest, here are some of the things I love about this hostel: The attention to detail, super clean, hot showers, enormous co-ed bathroom (the way it should be in a hostel), helpful staff, 15-min walk to the local train station (Bandra Terminus), 30 min train to Gateway of India, plenty of spaces to chill, not-one-but-TWO common rooms, and really cool guests (seriously, even during short stays I can find people to hang-out with...)

    They should consider providing basics like bottled water (it’s available from a tank) — perhaps a beer — and some nibbles like naan/ something to eat! But there are shops nearby — it’s Mumbai..!

    It’s clean. The rooms work and feel private. The showers and toilets are plenty and are great! Nice facilities! I don’t know why people cry about the location. Like it’s hardly even a market. And I’ve stayed in some next level wrong places in India. This is completely fineeeeee! A top hostel!

    One rod the best hostels I ever saw! It’s super clean, staff is amazing and the vibes are awesome. But the most important thing is the attention to the details, rules to respect everybody, small stuff you might forget written to kindly remind or tell you how to do.

    The location and its surroundings are rather poor and you have to ask locals to find the entrance. Regardless of the location, one of my best hostel experience in India.

    Very clean and comfortable hostel with all the equipement you need, especially you get two safes secured by a key, towels and the staff will make and clean your bed every day if you need to do it.

    I hope they start providing breakfast in the premises as there is no nearby food facilities available except ordering online.

    I really liked the ambience, I met some new people there, overall, hostel has the ultimate vibes to give some relief from our day to day life.

    Loud fan switching on during the night and day with no reason. People should be informed better about night hours as they don't respect other roommates.

    Location for me was very convenient. It is fast and easy to get here from the airport, plus not very far from the train station. The room was clean and taken care of by cleaning ladies every day.
