Great location and services. Management keeps on top of things so there's no silly or loud behaviour in the dorms. Great stay if you'd like to check out Mumbai for a few days and reasonably priced. Air cons in the rooms are at full power during the night giving you a cosy sleep. Tnx so much

Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay is 10 km from the hostel, while Phoenix Market City Mall is 10 km away. The nearest airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji International Mumbai Airport, 6 km from Kohinoor Dormitory.

Close to the Airport, very good value for money. Nice and friendly management. Liked · Being one of the cheapest options in Mumbai, I was quite happy with the dorm bed. Every Bed comes with a big locker for your luggage and a small locker right at your bed (with a little hole that you can lock your phone in while charging it). Also there is electricity (light and a plug) at the bed. A curtain gives some privacy. Towels are provided and bathrooms are plentyfull. Someone is cleaning and taking care of the place almost all the time. Of course there are a lot of beds in the dorm and everything is narrow. But for the price it is really good.

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.

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.

    Overall it was a comfortable stay, the space was clean, they have a good A/C, relatively fast Wi-Fi, hot showers, lockers, privacy curtains, and it was impressively cheap by Mumbai standards. Saki Naka is a slum area but main streets look surprisingly descent and have some good inexpensive restaurants, the subway station is just 2 mins walk from the hostel.

    The staff was truly amazing and helpful. Helped me change money - they called a guy who came and changed my Euros into rupees. They offer activities every day. And we celebrated diwali together. Very convenient and cheap laundry service. The place is super clean and well kept. Great wi-fi. The hostel is in a residential area. 15 minutes away by rickshaw from Juhu beach and Bandra. And 20 mins away from the airport. Nice place to meet people. Very great hostel and highly recommended!

    Nice location and a good vibe with a mix of foreigners and locals. Everyone was very friendly and the owner immediately offered me breakfast when I arrived at 11am to check in (so I got 2 breakfasts on my 1 night stay) You could find cheaper hostels in Mumbai but I think this one is worth paying that little bit more.
