This is my fav hostel in Mumbai. I will always stay here whenever I visit. The vibe is perfect. The staff is super helpful and friendly. I met many amazing people here. You have to take into account that you will be staying quite far away from the main attractions. But you can take an Uber during the non-rush hours and you can reach gate of india in about 45 min. The area of the hostel is nice though. The party districts Bandra and Khar are 15-20 min by cab.

Forrest Hostels felt like a small pocket of calm in the heart of Mumbai’s beautiful chaos. After long days wandering through crowded streets, markets, and train stations, stepping back into the hostel felt like returning to a quiet little sanctuary. The dorms were clean and comfortable, but it was the atmosphere that stayed with me — warm conversations, and the kind of stillness that makes you breathe a little deeper. The staff were gentle, welcoming, and the receptionists always smiling. The location is perfect, with everything you need just a short walk away, yet the hostel somehow stays shielded from the rush outside. A peaceful base in a restless city. Grateful for the stay, and I’d happily return whenever Mumbai calls me back.

This place has a real soul and vibe - you feel it right away. The people here are super chill and welcoming. Location is perfect: short walk to the sea or the streets of Bandra West, with shops, pharmacies, and restaurants all nearby. 24/7 check-in makes it super convenient. They even gave me slippers - small detail but really nice. The courtyard is amazing: you can either hang out and meet people or find your own quiet spot. At night they screen movies, rooms are cleaned daily, and the interior design is stylish - you can tell they put their heart into it. The kitchen is well-equipped, plenty of hot showers, fast Wi-Fi, and the upstairs has a special atmosphere. Safety is solid too with CCTV and lockers with keys.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This is simply the best hostel I have been to in India. It is amazing! Very helpful stuff, they literally helped me with everything, with all the questions I had. Very polite and professional. There was no people who would drink alcohol or party, which is a huge plus. Nobody bothered me through my stay, very safe. I am traveling alone as a female so it is important for me. Terrace is simply amazing, I spend a lot of time there. The rooms were clean, very comfortable bed. I recommend it 100%

Locomo is by far the best hostel I have stayed in mumbai. Very neat and clean property..washrooms are extremely clean and to my surprise, the cleaning team comes thrice a day to clean the room. Very well maintained hostel and perfect stay for backpackers..Staff is wonderful and kind.. well trained and professional..They have designated guy for carrying luggage he just comes on a whim for helping with luggage. Roof top lighting’s are so amazing and evening sunset with tea and music is mesmerising.
