NAMASTEY MUMBAI BACKPACKERS

It’s worth just because of the location but the facilities are not that good.

The best hostel I have ever stayed in

The staff was not really friendly, generally not a good vibe for a hostel. As soon as I arrived I wanted to pay for my room and they asked me a 3% unfair surcharge to pay by card. I said that this was not mentioned on booking and that it was unfair to do something like that. They came up with a bunch of excuses once I told them that I would have contacted booking.com for this, and they mentioned all of a sudden that the card machine was broken. After a small argument, finally, the card machine worked, and they I paid for my entire stay by card. So, do not pay the 3% overcharge as this is not legal. Also, the place lacked hygiene, and the showers were horrible and toilets not clean. I would not stay there again and would suggest looking for other nearby hostels. Last but not least, I have noticed prostitutes coming inside the hostel as well, trying to pick up some men. Very sleazy place I would say. The only good thing is the outdoor area and that's all.

It was a lovely stay. I extended a few times and the people there were super nice ✨

Nice hostel in convenient location. It matches the pictures. THe women's dorm was a bit cramped, but the entire hostel was continuously cleaned. The owner is very welcoming.

One night the AC was turned down to 20 degrees which was a bit cold. It was also a bit difficult to tell who was working the front desk as they would also help out in other areas of the hostel.

Comfy lounge area

The hostel is in a fantastic, unbeatable location in the middle of Bandra, and has fantastic vibes. The nearby area is safe and full of awesome things to do. The people who stay here are generally quite lovely. I had a great stay and would highly recommend this hostel for anyone travelling to Mumbai.

The upstairs mixed dorm is situated on top of something that vibrates quite loudly throughout the night. I struggled to fall asleep with that, so I moved to a top bunk where it was much less prominent. Just a heads-up in case you’re sensitive to this too, try and pick the downstairs dorm (which I also stayed in and did not have this problem in).

Met some amazing people at the hostel and headed for Lollapalooza.

Pretty much everything else, the staffs had a nasty attitude. Filled with long stayers who has no respect for other travellers. Talking on phones inside dorms, to switching on lights at 3 in the morning. Uncomfortable beds. Common area is unclean. They don't have a game room or a terrace as they claim.
