Hostels in India

"This is not a place for outsiders. All of the other guests in the (tiny) bunks were poor Indian men on their way to be, say, a guest laborer somewhere (one man showed me his visa to Ghana). Anyway, it was awkward AF, so I powered through a couple nights and then moved next-door to the Afra hostel — still pretty much a local place, but MUCH better, and I even made some new good friends there. Actual showers, a few western toilets, a men's wing, a woman's wing, and a mixed dorm, no hangout space,...

"Pretty much reachable by foot, by bus, by taxi/cabs, etc."

"A nice friendly hostel with great staff. The hostel, rooms, common areas and bathrooms are clean. The bathroom is basic, but functional. There's a mosquito problem indoor, like much of Mumbai. It doesn't help that the doors to the room have holes drilled into them for ventilation. Lots of mosquitos in my room so bring insect repellent. Location is far from the main sights, so expect to use taxis a lot."

"Staying here was simply delightful "

"Clean, cute rooms with friendly staff and pretty good breakfast "

" So so... "
