Set in Mumbai, Hammock Hostels - Bandra features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is around less than 1 km from Juhu Beach, 4.6 km from Prithvi Theatre and 5.7 km from ISKCON. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

We arrived and immediately got invited on a hostel outing to a market. It was then great to return to a comfy bed. Staff were very accomodating, and we loved that there were plenty of board games for us to enjoy that they’d join in with if they had time. It was so easy to be able to walk out and grab food at reputable places close by that again were recommended by the staff, and even easier not to think about breakfast because it was included! Loved relaxing in the hammock after a day out in the hustle and bustle.

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.

    Locomo is by far the best hostel I have stayed in mumbai. Very neat and clean property..washrooms are extremely clean and to my surprise, the cleaning team comes thrice a day to clean the room. Very well maintained hostel and perfect stay for backpackers..Staff is wonderful and kind.. well trained and professional..They have designated guy for carrying luggage he just comes on a whim for helping with luggage. Roof top lighting’s are so amazing and evening sunset with tea and music is mesmerising.

    This was my first krazy solo hostel experience and i must admit it was really good. This place is ideal for budget travellers who are looking for clean and safe stays. The staffs are truly helpful. The location and the property is safe for travellers which is helpful for people who have late night flights. Overall, the stay was worth the money.
