Dirty and old place. There was a rat in the kitchen. The AC was at 16 degrees and could not be changed. The main door is open 24/7 and the rooms are not locked. Overall a really bad value. Would not come here again.

The guys at reception were very nice but that was the only positive about this hostel. There was no bedding on the bed, other than a thin sheet on the mattress. There was a pillow and duvet but nothing to cover them. The room had mosquitoes so got bitten a lot during the night. The bathroom was connected to the bedroom and smelled awful. The water from the tap was brown. It was a nice area but very far away from the centre of Mumbai and there wasn’t much to do around there.

I booked and they cancelled my stay and wouldn't offer a refund (though I had emailed/called and asked for months). When I finally came in person to ask for a refund, I was bitten constantly by mosquitoes for the ten minutes I stood by the reception. I haven't stayed and don't intend on rebooking, so can't speak about what it's actually like here.

Good hostel and very friendly staff. Also a very nice Dog, Dra! Just be aware they’ll send a payment link that needs to be settled before you arrive to confirm - we missed this and lost our room unfortunately and we’re moved to another one. Shower wouldn’t get hot but was clean. Easy to get to South Mumbai using public transport (6INR) and then the train from Andheri.

1. As soon as I entered the property I could smell Pee. When I asked the guy helping me checkin he said there is a toilet next to the reception 2. I stayed in a girls Dorm on the ground floor which was next to laundry area. 3. The fan inside the room was so noisy that I could barely sleep on the first night. 4. The false flooring was ripping off in the room. 5. Bags were stored in the locker below the bed but they looked dirty. 6. The pictures were misleading it looked much cleaner and nicer th...

Stayed at Hostel Mantra for 4 nights in April — both the 6-bed mixed dorm and a private twin room. The dorm is small and has only one washroom, but there's a common washroom nearby that helps. The private room was clean and comfortable. Staff Sudeep and the volunteer girl made the stay genuinely welcoming. The rooftop chill zone is a great common area for socializing, and the crowd was friendly and easy to interact with. Had some really good conversations. Location-wise, there's not much wit...

I've stayed at Hostel Mantra twice and extended my stay both times. There's no other place in Mumbai I can think of recommending to a traveller as much as this. The dorms, beds, and common areas are the comfiest I've found at any hostel across the country. Nidhi, Pradeep, and Sudeep are great hosts who keep the place warm, welcoming, and safe for everyone. And whether you're a dog person or not, you'll love Tra

Le personnel est cool, le dortoir pour femme est propre et confortable attention l’hostel est très loin des points d’intérêts pour les touristes à Mumbai, je pense qu’il s’adresse plus à des gens en transit ou en voyage d’affaire qu’à des touristes

for the price it is nice, although not in the best area. I stayed in a room with only men, all Indians traveling or staying there for work. So if you want to meet other travellers, this is not the place for you. I personally loved the exchange with Indian and hearing what their home is like. This Hostel doesn't hold up to "european standards of clean". they try and really care for it. Also most of the staff is super nice, but won't give you the treatment all the time. for a short stay in Mumbai ...

Great stay at mantra, staff are super friendly and hospitable. They are eager to help and accommodating. Facilities are good, it’s a bit out of the centre but the vibes of the neighbourhood are lovely.
