Forrest Hostels

reasonable, clean bed room.

This was a tastefully decorated hostel. The staff were friendly and efficient, and both the bunk and the public areas, including the bathrooms, were clean and spacious, even by hostel standards. A water dispenser for filtered water and a refrigerator were available. The WiFi was also strong and stable. The reception was also manned at all times.

A bath towel was provided, but mine smelled rancid. It was also manufactured brown, so I couldn't visibly tell if it was dirty. I didn't inform the staff about this and I'm sure they would have given me another if I did. My bunk was also not ready upon my check-in, but the staff were apologetic and rectified the issue immediately. While the hostel was located within walking distance of Bandra Colony MRT station, the walk at night made me feel uneasy because of the areas I had to pass before arriving at the hostel. The inequality that Mumbai is notorious for is made painfully clear during the walk and I think it is advisable to use your instinct rather than follow the shortest route given by a maps app.

The female dorm is really big with 2 showers and 2 separate toilets, which is great. A big locker for your bag and a small one next to the bed, very convenient. Also, they have a washing machine and a dryer so you can get your clothes cleaned and ready within an hour, for 400 rs. Cleaning staff is excellent and the place was always spotless.

Good place with clean rooms.
