the hostel is good, but you need to walk through the fish market to reach the hostel.. otherwise, its good, close to the main road

Had a lovely experience at this place. They help with everything. I had to catch an early morning flight, had to leave at 5 am and they helped with luggage and even dropped me off to the taxi stand. I would highly recommend this hostel to everyone

I enjoyed my stay here, bathrooms are cleaned regularly and the beds are comfortable and have privacy curtain. Only thing I didn’t like was the reception/common area was allowed for smoking.

Overall a great hostel. As others have said, the location isn’t amazing but the hostel itself makes up for it. Some feedback though: - I don’t think women should be charged more for a single-gender dorm - the bins next to the toilets in the women’s dorm should be covered bins - the hostel could do more to help prevent mosquitos in the common areas, as this was a problem - it’s not the most sociable hostel The staff were amazing though!

Really blew my expectations. Good facilities and pretty clean, but it’s located in a fish market area (but once inside it’s really nice). Good security and gate codes for the building

The best hostel I have stayed in so India so far and even abroad, I felt like home being here, it was so comfortable and everything was taken care of, I didn’t feel like I stayed in a dorm but a shared space where you make new friends and connections. This hostel being in Bandra is close to all major attractions, using metro is cost saving and helpful. My intended stay here was for 4 days but I ended up staying for 10 days. The staff members Anita, Tina and Vikram were super helpful, Cheers!

I stayed at this hostel for about a week. It’s one of the few in India that I’ve found to have a more “intentional” atmosphere, similar to that of international hostels. Before arriving, I was a bit concerned about the location after reading some reviews: the hostel is indeed located within a fish market, but in reality, it’s just a small street with only two or three stalls—nothing too dramatic. The bathrooms are spotless and numerous (which is not always the case), and the rooms ar...

Good hostel, but in wrong location. A good 20 minute walk to the train station and then train ride into city. Not much to do around the hostel area. Itself, pretty good and clean. Staff quite helpful. An OK base for our first week in India but we were glad to say goodbye to Mumbai after 1 week!

A very well-functioning hostel with helpful staff, clean facilities, and comfortable beds. In East Bandra, it's a little far from where all the main tourist attractions are in Mumbai, but I felt very safe and well looked after while I stayed.
