They refused to put the deposit from hostel world towards the payment and came up with all kind of RIDICULOUS fees at the end of the stay. I had an emergency and could not stay the full booked term and they were JERKS about it. SO amazingly RUDE IT WAS UNREAL! The place is a dump and there is so much noise ear plugs couldn\'t begin to do the trick. the toilet wouldn\'t flush,bathroom door wouldn\'t close, hair ALL OVER the sheets, smelled horrible. The only good thing about this place was....well there WASN\'T anything good!close

Good place, walking distance to Khar station, good if you need to be close to the airport. Don\'t rely on the airport transfer being there to pick you up, our guy didn\'t turn up and when we called the cell number he wouldn\'t come to pick us up.

Mumbai has very warm temperatures even in February, we didnt manage to find any interesting shopping. The markets we visited had very few goods with appeal to turist. The stuff the Indians by are not something that fit our western style and we were unable to fine any pashmina scarfs!

Our shopping experiences were much better on Delhis "Main Bazar" and "Kahn Market".close

The poverty was overwhelming and everywhere. The poor air quality was painfully thick, like smoking a pack of cigaretts. There was a lot to see and experience both good and disturbingly bad. A city not to be missed, but dont plan for more than a couple of days, there is so much more to be seen in India.close
