best hostels in mumbai

Mumbai! The Crown and the pride of Maharashtra, Mumbai is the home of Bollywood and is one of the busiest and the liveliest places in Maharashtra, and any trip to Maharashtra isn’t complete without visiting Mumbai at least once, it’s like visiting India Agra and missing the Taj. 

But what after visiting Mumbai? It’s a big place and you might have to keep moving most of the time, so where would you go to relax and recover? Hotels? But they’re often costly and you can’t leave at the moment’s notice, plus they can be quite costly so your best bet might be Hostels.

At hostels, you can mingle either like-minded people, make friends, and share stories. All in all, make even better memories. Enough of this introduction, let’s get started with the main course already. 

Here is the list of 15 Hostels In Mumbai For Backpackers:

Zostel

Zostel: hostel In mumbai

  • Price: ₹ 1,195/- (per person)
  • Rating: 4.3 

Zostel, one of the biggest hostels in Mumbai, and has been tagged as the best hostel for digital nomads in Mumbai. Zostel is located in Andheri East and about 4km from the Mumbai International Airport.    

Zostel is quite different from the other hostels and has a highly vibrant and happy atmosphere where you can kick back and spend some quality time or pull a beanie bag, whip out your laptop and start working peacefully.

Zostel comes with a cafe, Bollywood themed terrace, and a common room studded with games! At Zostel you can also (obviously) chat with other fellow travelers from across the world and share your travel stories or give them some tips on travel. 

I absolutely recommend Zostel as it takes comfort very seriously so ragging or eve-teasing is strictly forbidden, not only that but they also forbid intoxication. Zostel also provides travel assistance and free wifi.  

Address: Karotra Niwas, Near Prime Academy School, Marol, Andheri East, Mumbai.

If you want to make new buddies and wish to see the juiciest part of Mumbai, then Horn Ok please is the perfect spot for you. At Horn Ok Please you won’t find much luxury as they’re a hostel and are mostly occupied by the frequent travelers so if you want luxury, then you might have to visit some other place.

Horn Ok Please has been tagged as the “best party hostel” and is one of the most beloved rights after Zostel. The tag of the best party hotel comes due to them being completely okay with the noise you make.

Horn Okay please is situated quite close to the Mumbai metro which makes your adventuring even easier. Horn Ok offers free breakfast and wifi.

The Social Space Hostel

The Social Space Hostel: hostel In mumbai

  • Price: ₹ 1,168/-
  • Rating: 4.5

The Social Space Hostel isn’t your average Hostel, in-fact it might be the best Hostel to stay at in Mumbai. It’s located in Andheri West and is a half-hour away from Mumbai International Airport, The Versova metro station is also located nearby. 

If you’re solo traveling Mumbai, then you need to stay with Social Space Hostel at least once as their friendly environment can make you feel relaxed and at home and I daresay, the Social Space Hostel has the best hospitality among its peers.

Social Space Hostel offers plenty of games to curb your boredom and is also equipped with a cafe.

Backpackers panda Colaba

Backpackers panda Colaba: hostel In mumbai

  • Price: ₹1,438/- (₹ 600- ₹ 800 for dorms).
  • Rating: 4.3

Hands Down, Backpackers Panda Colaba is the best hostel for couples in Mumbai. Even if you aren’t traveling as couples, Mumbai crowds can make you wish for a bit of privacy, and Backpackers Panda Colaba provides you with just that much-needed privacy.

If that reason isn’t enough to make you visit it, then do know that this hostel is located in the midst of all the famous attractions in Colaba. 

Unlike other hostels, this one offers 2 common rooms (More space, More fun) that are equipped with a table football, musical instruments, and plenty of books that you can swap (my favorite thing).

If that’s not enough to get you buzzing then you can also enjoy rooftop parties in evenings and yoga in the morning. Backpackers Panda Colaba is a bit similar to the Social Space Hostel but unlike Social Space Hostel, you won’t get free breakfasts here.

Mumbai Staytion

Mumbai Staytion Best Hostel In Mumbai

  • Rating: 4.6

I have to take care while writing this… as my autocorrect and grammar checker keeps changing it to “Station”. Mumbai Staytion is one of the best possible Hostels you can stay at in Mumbai that comes with a pun.

Mumbai Station, as you can imagine is situated near a railway station (Marol Naka), the Mumbai International Airport is also located nearby.

 Mumbai Staytion can blow you away in the terms of hospitality, they take utmost care of your comfort and whether it is booking Bus, Train, or Flight tickets, or be it taking you to get a haircut, Mumbai Staytion will do everything possible to make your stay pleasant.

If only they had allowed pets it might’ve been even better, Mumbai Staytion provides you free wifi, breakfast, Travel assistance, Luggage storage, and currency exchange. The best service of theirs might be the wake-up call.

Namastey Mumbai Backpackers

Namastey Mumbai Backpackers Best Hostel In Mumbai

  • Price:  ₹ 799 – ₹ 899 for dorm.
  • Rating: 4.8

And finally, we’re at the last point it is another Namastey from Mumbai and another cozy and chill place to stay at. For history lovers like myself, this place is a must-visit at least once as it was originally a 100-year-old Portuguese style cottage.

 Namaste has named dorms quite tactfully, and they’re named Namaskara, Pranam, and Namaskar. Sure they mean the same thing but they offer different living quarters; like Namaskara is a 14-bed dorm with 4 bunk and 6 private beds for mixed genders, Pranam with 6 bunk beds for female tenants, and Namaskar with 6 beds for mixed.

The majority of the rooms at Namaste are Air-conditioned including the indoor common room. They also have a huge Jamun (black plum) tree in their front yard where you can either chat or play games. 

The cons I can point at is the curfew, which starts at 2300 hours and during which guests are asked to quiet down and No Pets.  

Address: Panjwani Cottage, 76, Pali Village, Pali Mala Road, Behind Janta bar, Bandra West, Mumbai

Finally, we have come to an end, just a piece of small advice; if you’re a newbie traveler, do remember to carry a safety lock, towels, and other necessities.
