Excellent stay, decent staff, all amenities available and a very good service. The place had a very cool aesthetic vibe. Good option if you are looking for dormitory in Mumbai.

Shared dorm room for 6 so quite a busy room. Cleaned everyday, room stayed cool in the heat. Lovely atmosphere and the guys on reception really helpful for organising money exchange, buses, eSIM and answering questions. Hotel is right in Colaba and by India Gate, 25 minute stroll to the Wankhede cricket stadium for the T20 World Cup. Fantastic time in Mumbai and the hotel ticked all the boxes.

An excellent hostel experience! The rooms are a decent size and have air conditioning. Secure storage under bed bags (please bring your lock. The bathroom has an ensuite and is very clean and tidy. There are communal areas and a small kitchen for tea and coffee. It feels secure with security present around the clock and reception are always there to help if needed.

I had a wonderful stay in the heart of manhattan! The hostel is spotless, the showers are good, and the rooms are cozy!.

The location is fantastic. Great food, sights, and shopping options are all within a 5minute walk. The location only adds to the affordability. For a threenight stay, i spent a total of $5,00. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. The dorms had air conditioning and were clean. A few things to keep in mind are the crowded space, the lack of natural light in the dorms, the fact that eight people share one restroom, and the lack of natural light. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!.

The rooms are clean and nice. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so prepare yourself. The best location.

Banyak pilihan akomodasi di Mumbai Selatan. Saya memilih tempat ini berdasarkan rekomendasi. Selama seminggu saya menginap di sini, saya banyak mendapat bantuan dari Shimon, Jaykishan, Shashikant dan Ashish, baik itu tiket kereta api maupun transportasi lainnya. Saya juga mendapat banyak informasi terkait perjalanan, seperti bagasi yang hilang di bandara dan mereka membantu saya menemukannya. Kamar anak perempuan untuk delapan orang dengan kamar mandi bersih, besar dan nyaman, AC berfungsi dengan baik, dan ada dapur umum dan kulkas di lantai paling atas yang patut dikunjungi. Yang saya sebutkan adalah ada layanan laundry pribadi murah berbayar, lift yang dioperasikan dengan tangan nostalgia, dan ada banyak restoran lokal lezat di lantai bawah. Sekali lagi terima kasih kepada staf yang ramah ini.

This hostel is convenient but stylish, with a vintage parsi vibe. From booking to checkout, the service was excellent. The bathrooms were particularly clean. However, you should bring your own toiletries as they are not available. Towels are available for a small fee. There is also a laundry. There is no dining in the rooms, but there is a comfortable space on the terrace, well covered with a pantry, music system, games, etc. And lots of pillows to relax in. Wifi is available. And to top it all off, its very close to sightseeing, shopping, a vt station, and dining options. Leopold cafe is just around the corner. So go and enjoy yourselves.

Only stay at cowie backpacker! Excellent service and safety are guaranteed! As a professional business owner, we have seen a lot of hotels, but with cowie backpacker hostel, we feel more secure! Fresh water in the bathroom, and a restful nights sleep are what we need when our bodies need a rest! All the blessings of the staff working diligently day and night. I want to express my gratitude to mr. Swanil, the sr manager, for his assistance to the guests!.

The location is excellent, just off the main thoroughfare of colaba Causeway. The dormitories are spacious, and the bed is secured with a secure space for luggage. The maintenance and cleanliness are to the point, and the cooling is excellent. There is a fantastic common area on the terrace. The staff is incredibly kind and accommodating.
