Nap Manor Hostels, hotel in Mumbai

Set in Mumbai, within 5.3 km of Prithvi Theatre and 6.1 km of ISKCON, Nap Manor Hostels offers accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking...

Really clean friendly place, the room was so comfortable and had great air conditioning too. The washrooms are maintained well and kept clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Trying the complementary breakfast is a must, it is simple and delicious. If you are looking for a stay in Mumbai on a budget this is the place for you. The only thing to bear in mind is the location in Santa Cruz can get very busy and if you are travelling in rush hour even in a rickshaw you will be sat in traffic- this isn’t really a reflection on Nap Manor though this is just how Mumbai is. In our opinion it is all part of the real Mumbaikar experience. Thank you Nap team ❤️

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.

    This is simply the best hostel I have been to in India. It is amazing! Very helpful stuff, they literally helped me with everything, with all the questions I had. Very polite and professional. There was no people who would drink alcohol or party, which is a huge plus. Nobody bothered me through my stay, very safe. I am traveling alone as a female so it is important for me. Terrace is simply amazing, I spend a lot of time there. The rooms were clean, very comfortable bed. I recommend it 100%

    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.

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.
