9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
It is located at one of the main area in Mumbai Colaba, so every place which we are trying to access was so easy to travel. WRT clean everything is great! Rooms are also pretty neat and good nothing to compliant. Wifi was awesome it worked flawlessly.
just consider washing the vessels before using even though it is already washed. Because sometime people might forget to clean it properly. They don't have shower gel which is something expected for the amount we are paying. AC will not be turned on even after asking the staff in common area not sure why.

Honestly the people, the location and the amenities as something that excelled, I have lived there for almost a month, zero issues, desk is 24/7 available, uncle and aunty are so sweet to deal with.
I wish they could have cafe or small restraunt on the floor, so that traveller can spend in budget for food
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The hostel was good overall, with a nice atmosphere and comfortable stay.
I didn’t like the rule of turning off the AC from 11 AM to 5 PM. If someone arrives late and needs to rest, the room becomes very uncomfortable and suffocating. It would be better to change this rule or allow AC for guests who have just checked in and need rest.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
It was clean and at a good location. The common area was nice
The receptionist was very rude and was not doing her job well.
