    Don't keep your things outside, either in your dorm or a common area. My cable got stolen. So, If you are traveling for work or carrying any important documents, take care of them. Be aware! I asked the manager to check the security footage of the common area, but she replied that their footage get erased each month.

    If you're traveling for Visa Purposes, you can definitely book this place. It is near the consulate. Autos are available outside the hostel; just bargain a little. Location: 4/5 Locality:-3.5/5 Accessible:- 4/5 Cleanliness:- 4/5 AC works fine. Given the Mumbai weather, you'll definitely need it. Locker facilities are available and are of decent size. If you are vegetarian, there are good eateries nearby where you can find tasty and cheap food.

    The AC was freezing cold during the night. Not only me but more people got a little sick, the temperature was just too low. When I asked the staff about this nothing really changed, unfortunately.

    A very clean hostel with a good location in Mumbai. Close to the railway station and plenty of other options to get around the city. The hostel is located in a marketstreet which gives it a busy but special location. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean, the staff is nice and friendly. Worth your visit to Mumbai.

    NOT an AC dorm
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    You are not allowed to use the AC during the day for a stay that costs 800 to 1000 rupees per day as a dorm. RIDICULOUS . This dorm should not cost over 300 rupees per night and there are other places that are full AC for that purpose. Terrible terrible stinky location right inside a streetmarket Whose landmark is a HUGE garbage dumpster! No shower caps provided, but NO BUCKET. Not allowed to wash clothes in the dorm - so what is a woman supposed to do on her period? Wifi was terrible

    Good safety features and clean rooms, helpful staff

    Worst location

    The worst location I have ever stayed at. It’s located in the middle of a market and at night it’s filled with dead and alive rats. If it’s rains it’s absolutely disgusting. It’s a bit of a mission to get out of the area by tuktuk or to get back tuk tuks will charge you 3 times more cos they don’t even want to go to that area.

    The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. The stuff are constantly cleaning. Comfortable beds.

    Most Scary and Dangerous Hostel in Mumbai | FORREST
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    no security guard available at night time. the staff talks in their local Marathi language to communicate in front of you to discuss anything. (secret language) also, there’s a very very much horrible experience. One guest started drama at midnight and scared everyone with a story of how he saw a ghost and started screaming and running and ultimately hitting himself with something and left injured. after that, nobody was ready to give me medical help or to call a doctor or an ambulance, when I asked if they have any motorcycles, the underage guy who works at a very nominal salary as a watchman cum night manager told me there was no bike. and the owner didn’t even care to come to the hostel and check what was happening. it was a really scary and horrible experience and nobody was able to sleep in my room.

    the cleanliness and the door lock.

    Management team is not al good, so if you want to stay for more than a day in Mumbai THEN THIS IS NOT THE PLACE AT ALLL. And save your skin from AC, mosquitoes and many more insects.

    Near BKC but in such a bad location as entire morning and afternoon there is fish smell and in evening and night it is all about rats and more rats

    Very noisy hostel. People were walking and talking back and forth the whole night I stayed there without any respect to others. I couldn’t sleep at all. The locker door underneath the bed was broken and I could lock my stuff.

    The bed was comfortable and the bathroom area is clean and well maintained. It was nice from the staff that they cooked some noodles for me as I arrived very late at night and was very hungry.

    Unfriendly for nonsmokers. Guests are smoking even weed even in the morning in common area with another people who eating a breakfast. I didn't get any key for lockers, but when I was checking out they asked me to give it back. Hot water in shower heating very slow and it's not too much water for taking shower properly. Only one indian style electricity spot for bed.

    The place upgraded me from mix dorm to female for free. Pretty clean place, there's a small kitchen with equipments, so you can cook yourself. Drinking water with cooler/heater. Shoes are not allowed to room so it's more clean in the room. Small personal light for bed. The location is correct on booking.com and on Google maps.

    Cons: too much of mosquitos in common area and sometime in room be aware you might fall sick due to this, No ventilation in room and no sunlight, No small fans attached to the bed space, No Tap in bathroom, cloth drying area is too less for all. Host denied bed despite booking but later somehow arranged bed here and there. Hostel is inside a fish market and travelling to tourist location will take long time as the hostel situated in bandra.

    Pro: Clean Bed, Hygiene Restroom, Wifi, CCTV , Locker, common Kitchen, Good Host.

    property is located in middle of vendors all around , the road is narrow , it’s bit of struggle to get ur luggage out or find the location but the property is just fine
