Happinest - The Backpacker's Hostel

I’ve stayed at this hostel multiple times now, and every experience has been amazing. The hostel is always clean, well-maintained, and has such a great vibe. One of the best parts is the crowd — I’ve met some really nice people here and always ended up having a fun time. The atmosphere is super welcoming and comfortable, and after staying here so often, it genuinely feels like a home away from home. Definitely one of my favourite places to stay, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone loo...

Happy stay at HappiNest. Rooms are clean and the connectivity is excellent.

I’ve been staying at Happinest Hostel for the past month, and from the very first day I felt this place was different from other hotels or stays. The rooms, the hostel atmosphere, the reception staff, and even the co-workers here make it feel more like a home than a hostel. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and always ready to help whenever needed. Just like the name suggests, staying here truly feels happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Happinest Hostel to anyone looking for a ...

Overall a pleasant stay. The property is in a good location and staff friendly. The 3 showers were out of order when I arrived but was resolved quickly and the showers were a bit unclean however beds were comfy and clean. Water pressure was variable and sometimes made showering challenging. But overall a decent stay.

This was my first ever hostel stay, and the Happinest team made sure it won’t be my last. As a first timer, I had plenty of concerns around cleanliness, safety, privacy, and most importantly, whether I could adapt to sharing a room after more than a decade of living solo, even at home. My only real concern is the location. While it’s very close to Bandra railway station, it sits in a narrow lane where cabs can’t easily reach. The surrounding roads are dug up, thanks to BMC, which makes ...

stayed here for one night and was quite disappointed. The property looks outdated and lacks proper maintenance. The dorm rooms are extremely small, with no natural light and no privacy curtains.The washrooms were not up to the mark — low water pressure in the jet spray, no toilet paper, and no proper shelves for toiletries.Overall, the place needs renovation and better upkeep. Not sure how it has such high ratings.

Really enjoyed my stay at Happinest Hostel. The place felt clean and cozy, the staff were super friendly, and the overall vibe was just great. I felt comfortable the whole time would definitely recommend staying here.

great location in bandra, station, stores, restaurants around. friendly staff,tv and smoking area great to share with people...very good place to stay

Great hostel. Friendly staff. I get along well with the dormmates also. One advantage is that the hostel is quite close to the railway station so great accessibility. Theres a washing machine for doing laundry and theres a small stove for making small things like eggs and making tea. Overall this is a good hostel to stay at and you'll meet a lot of interesting people.

amazing experience

Friendly and helpful stuff. clean bathrooms! Highly recommend

Clean hostel. Comfortable beds and warm showers, no complaints

Had a great stay at Happinest. The property is well-maintained with good amenities, making it comfortable and convenient. The caretaker was very helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, a cozy and well-managed place—highly recommended!

Hostel is in a great location with plenty to do and see in the local area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent and very clean.

We had a really nice stay at Happinest! The staff were very friendly and helpful, you can securely leave all your stuff without worrying. Good facilities including kitchen and plenty of very clean bathrooms. Really comfy bed which I slept well in every night. Overall great value for money and would stay again. Thank you!

Great hostel in the back streets of Bandra West amongst a fun locals market, with train station close by and great restaurants. Staff were lovely and the vibe was great, met some amazing people here!

I'll return I am sure.

good hostel. Wouldn't recommend for your first day / stay in India, as the location can be overwhelming

Happinest was a really good choice for me. I felt very safe during my stay and the staff was very helpful when rebooking my room. You have the chance to prepare SMALL meals in the kitchen and it's a great space to meet people. Everyone living there was super nice and we used to watch movies at night:) The hostel is not too far from the train station, otherwise there is not really too much in walking distance (shops), but enough autos available. It was pretty clean with filtered water available

Very comfortable stay with all necessary amenities, in a heritage home.
