Mumbai's premium backpacker hostel — 3 km from the airport, five minutes from Santacruz station, run by people who'll hand you the city like a friend would.
#1 backpacker hostel in Mumbai on Hostelworld · Solar powered · Free breakfast · 24-hour reception
Anyone can sell you a mattress. We're after the other thing — the night out you didn't plan, the vada pav you'd never have found, the six people you'll still be messaging next year.
Open-mic nights, storytelling evenings, Holi and Diwali together. Solo travellers rarely stay solo here for long.
3 km from the airport, a five-minute walk to Santacruz station, ten minutes from Dharavi. Drop the bag, hit the city.
Free, 8:30 to 10:30, every morning. Proper food — and the best place to find today's travel partner.

You'll leave with a group chat.
Our team actually lives here. Food tours, the Dharavi walk, a pub crawl on a good night — the city, minus the tourist tax.
Fast Wi-Fi, plug and reading light at every bed, lockers, a quiet library and a table made for laptops.
24-hour reception and security, CCTV throughout, personal lockers, and a female-only dorm. Hot showers, always.
The hostel runs on solar. Your hot shower, the fans, the Wi-Fi — powered by the Mumbai sun. Travel that costs the planet less.







Every bed: fresh linen, personal locker, reading light and a plug. Breakfast included. Book direct and save 10%.
Thali lunches, open-mic and storytelling nights, Holi, Diwali, Christmas and a New Year's Eve people fly back for. Turn up alone — you won't stay that way.
Run with local guides who know it properly. Ask at reception — most can be arranged for the same evening.
Pav bhaji, breakfast at Café Madras, chaat at Juhu Chowpatty, Mumbai sandwiches, misal pav and the vada pav at Kirti College.
Topped TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Experiences 2019 for India. A respectful, eye-opening walk with the city's leading operators.
South Mumbai on Tuesdays, Central on Fridays, the Bandra Express walking tour — and a pub crawl for the nights that need one.
Thali lunches, open-mic and storytelling evenings, and full-blown Holi, Diwali, Christmas and New Year's parties.

"Genuinely one of my best hostel experiences ever! You walk into what you'd expect to be a hole in the wall, only to find one of the most stunning and stylishly decorated hostels — and such a beautiful bunch of souls. Superb facilities, super clean, free water, board games. Thank you for the crazy night out you organised. Had a ball dancing Bollywood!"

"The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The room was really clean and the air con was a blessing after being out in the city all day. I went on the South Mumbai tour which was really informative — excellent!"

Check-in is any time after 1:00 PM. Check-out is 11:00 AM. Reception is staffed 24 hours, so late arrivals are no problem.
Both are possible, subject to availability, for a small charge. You're always welcome to use the common areas and leave your luggage with us free of charge before check-in or after check-out — you only pay if you want the bed itself.
Yes — free, every morning, 8:30 to 10:30 AM. Any extra food or drinks you order are charged separately.
Foreign nationals: passport plus valid visa (a soft or hard copy of the passport is fine). Indian nationals: Aadhaar, Passport, Driving Licence or Voter ID — PAN cards are not accepted, and the address must be visible.
Unfortunately not. We're a backpacker hostel for travellers, so guests whose ID shows a Mumbai address can't be hosted.
Guests must be between 18 and 55. We don't accept bookings from under-18s.
About 3 km from Terminal 1 and 6 km from Terminal 2 — roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. An auto or an Ola/Uber is easiest. Santacruz metro is a 0.4 km walk away.
Flying into Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA)? We're 40–45 km away via the Atal Setu sea bridge — usually 50–70 minutes off-peak by cab, longer in rush hour.
Yes. We have a female-only dorm, personal security lockers in every room, CCTV throughout the property and reception staffed 24 hours.
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before check-in. Inside 48 hours, or a no-show, is charged one night. GST of 5% applies.
No curfew, no lockout. Reception is open 24 hours — come and go whenever you like.
Lower bunks are first-come, first-served and can't be reserved in advance, except for a genuine medical need. If one is free when you arrive, it's yours.
No — it's a shared dorm property, so it isn't suitable for either.
Yes, and it's free. Leave your bags with us and use the common areas either side of your stay — you only pay if you want the bed itself early or late.
Yes — Nap Manor is solar powered. Hot water, fans, lighting and Wi-Fi run on solar energy, so your stay carries a much smaller footprint than a comparable hotel.
Nothing surprising — just what keeps this place good for everyone.

Accommodation bookings are governed by clause 4 (Cancellation) above — free cancellation up to 48 hours before check-in, one night charged inside 48 hours or on a no-show. The policy in this block applies to non-accommodation services only (tours, activities and other add-ons).
