About

Zostel Mumbai, the biggest and the liveliest backpacker hostel in Mumbai, is located just 4 KMs from the Mumbai International Airport

Located in Andheri East, a northern suburban area of Mumbai, Zostel Mumbai will be a breath of fresh air if you are not accustomed to the chaos of the city. With a cafe, a common area full of games, and a Bollywood themed rooftop, being bored is not an option here. With various stay options suiting all kinds of travelers, be prepared to experience Mumbai like a local both inside and outside the hostel with Zostel!
If the traveler in you is calling out, we’ll hear it well. Every day in Zostel is happening, complete with doses of laughter and experiences. Chill out with the coolest set of people from around the world and travel without hassles.

Before your mischievous minds starts wandering far, let us put one thing real straight, We take the comfort of each and every traveller very seriously.

Also, if getting intoxicated is all you’re looking for, we urge you to look ELSEWHERE. At Zostel, we’d rather pass and share episodes. ;)
Our friendly staff can help you explore Mumbai and various highlights like old forts and caves for the history lovers, art galleries and museums for the art lovers and the endless Arabian Sea for the adventure seekers! Do take a walk at Marine Drive while the sun sets and you will realise you have found a place you will never want to leave.

The hostel staff are extremely friendly. First day here they took me all around and it was extremely fun. Booking things is extremely easy with them as they are knowledgeable about the city. 10/10 recommended.
