Nestled amidst the bustling vile parle east market right next to the local train station this hostel is a hidden gem. What sets them apart is the service , rules which are strict and implemented well. They have a beautiful terrace , a decent co- working space and high standards when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. Highly recommend this place as it is very close to the airport.

Nearby Ville Parle station so commute to hostel and from hostel is not a hassle. Staff are friendly and sweet, very cooperative and understanding. 6 Bed dorm is large and spacious. Wifi is Available in all areas. Food which is served in cafeteria is expensive but the quantity and quality is splendid. I stayed for 2 weeks and it felt like home away from home.

Am Chennai looked for a best stay for 21days and find Locomo through google and done with my bookings. Once I reached the place it is near to airport and Vile Parle railway station.. the atmosphere was too good which gives u the feeling of home and the staffs also behave as family members they care a lot and the service for the room is amazing they use to clean room everyday and don’t worry abt temperature the air conditioning always keeps you cool… even they their own rules which are yet to be followed for benefits of out dormitory was good and it’s nice initiative to have pets along with you… the prepare the fresh dishes daily u can buy that according to your taste. They have 24hrs reception area and a common area where we can sit and chat with other dormitories… thanks Locomo for the best accommodation 💯

The first time I came here was just to rest for the night. But couldn't because the hostel has so much to offer and you just can't resist the urge of getting into them.. Made few friends.. I used to stay in hotels earlier but this place is so happening I had to choose this place over anything else.. On arrival, found out that Locomo has repeat guests who were there before. Met those friends again and many more. Feels delighted whenever I come here. Staff is very friendly, highly supportive and skilled. Never have I got disappointed with chosing this place. This is my third time I'm staying here in past three months and this place now feels like home except for the fact you have to pay to stay here.😅 The activities they conduct are interesting, creative and indulging. Yash, The owner of the place is very enthusiastic and responsible host. Cleanliness, comfort, hospitality, accessibility and the staff are all perfect. I recommend Locomo to everyone looking for a hostel to stay in Mumbai.

Hostel is good - good location as the railway station is just a minute walk from the hostel and the domestic airport also is like 5 minutes away by auto. Lots of restaurants around. Good for shopping as small and branded stores are just at the corner. Clean hostel. Good facilities. Comfortable stay. Friendly staff. Just try to coordinate with their staff before booking the room as few of their guests are long term residents and they've their own set of rules so if you happen to land up in their room then you also have to abide by their undeclared rules

The best hostel Life you can experience is here. You also get to meet lot of good people from different places and even from different countries. Had a best experience myself. The rooms and services are top level. It's location is also the closest to railway station and from the airport too. Definitely would recommend to my friends.

I had a lovely week-long stay at Locomo Hostel. Best to point out: such a friendly, helpful, caring and professional staff! Saad, Manali and the whole team is doing a great job making you feel comfortable. Apart from that, I really liked the clean, nicely designed and well kept rooms and common area (nice rooftop!). The train station is just 3 min walk away and takes you to the main attractions for 5-20 rupees only. Nice, safe neighborhood with lots of everyday goods shops. Group of guests was mixed between Indians (50%) and other nations.

Was there for a conference for 5 days and boy was it lovely. The place and the people blew me away. Secure (specially for solo girls) and near to the airport, the place is just perfect for solo travellers. Loved it. It’s clean and well maintained with courteous staff. Would definitely stay here the next time I visit Mumbai. 😊

The Locomo hostel, just remember this name for the best hostel in Mumbai. I have stayed for a few days at this hostel. Stepping through the lobby, i was immediately struck by the beautiful and friendly reception area. Vibrant and very spacious...very welcoming atmosphere. The staff throughout the hostel were very professional, friendly and extremely helpful. Saad is the manager here and he is the one who makes this happen. He goes out of the way to help his guests and makes sure things are as perfect as it can be. Frequently asks if we need anything and makes sure that the guests are comfortable. With regard to food-The breakfasts were amazing. The location of the hostel is great. The room was very spacious and well equipped with all essentials and fantastic view. I have no hesitation in recommending this hostel to the tourists who anyone coming to Mumbai. Will be back to this place soon!

Locomo is one of the best hostels in Bombay and for so many reasons. Have been coming here for the last one year and the place just keeps getting better. With quirky interiors, squeaky clean premises and friendly staff the place just is ideal for someone who is looking to explore the city and have a homely vibe.

Location is perfect. The price was too high for the service that they provided. Terrace is shut post midnight and the worst part was there was a mouse outside our room and there are a lot of mosquitoes inside the room and even in the premises. Had booked a private room which was apparently accommodating 4 people but they had given 1 blanket and there was space for 3 people. Would recommend another property in the same budget.

Pros - delightful experience of stay, clean and hygienic place, overall place has good ambience and decor . Location is the biggest advantage. I stayed along with my 10 friends . Had a little party on our own. It was a memorable stay. Food was good Cons- the receptionist was not ready to listen and understand very small request of our group which was a bummer on arrival. I requested her to let me speak with her senior and just let me ask for a small favour, to which she straight forwardly denied . I mean the authority has right to reject our requests but not been heard felt bad. Anyway, overall a must go to place for anyone. Will definitely visit next time.

Lovely hostel. One of the best in the city, if not the best. Their rooftop plus cafe is a great place to relax throughout the day and has very reasonably priced homely food and tea/coffee. It has every facility one can ask for in a hostel and is quite safe. Good vibe and has plenty of activities like pubcrawls, tours, hostel parties. Although I havent participated in any so I dont know how good they are. But, some very tiny negative points to keep in mind: Rooftop closes at 12. Breakfast is on additional payment. It's an average spread, not too many things, but good value for the price (100 INR) Laundry is a little expensive, 200 INR per wash.

The first thing you will notice upon arrival in Locomo is the friendly smiles from the staff who look after the property, Very nice people who are super friendly and always ready to look after their guests. Saad has been a great help in getting things done on time.His team is generously always there. The hostel is in a great location in the city centre with plenty of shops, restaurants, clubs and sights in short walking distance. The hostel is spotlessly clean, everything appears to be cleaned a couple of times a day. The beds are super comfortable and also each bed has curtains to allow you privacy in a 4 dorm setup. Kitchen is well equipped and more than usable, laundry can also be done at a reasonable price. Free tea in the evening.

I never expected such a great stay. This place is Home away from Home. The people, dormitories, play area and terrace everything was PURRRFECT ! Clean rooms, spacious common area and friendly staffs. Overall the best experience had ever. <3

I recently stayed at Locomo hostel and had a fantastic experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The hostel had a vibrant and lively atmosphere, with fellow travelers from all over the world, creating a great sense of community.The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the common areas provided ample space for socializing and meeting new people. The hostel also offered various activities and events, such as movie or game nights, which added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.Overall, my experience at Locomo was outstanding. Saad manages the property and he has such a positive energy, his professional yet warm gestures towards the guests are impeccable. The staffs are well trained and know exactly what you need. Wonderful experience 😊

The dormitory rooms at Locomo Hostel were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were comfortable, and each bunk had its own privacy curtain, power outlet, and reading light. The common areas were well-maintained and provided ample space for socializing and meeting fellow travelers. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, striking the perfect balance for a hostel experience. The manager Saad is outstandingly good and helped me with everything I needed. Greeted me with a warm and friendly welcome. He and his team was always available to answer my questions, and create a lively and inclusive atmosphere for all guests. I loved being able to explore the vibrant neighborhood and immerse myself in the local culture this hostel.

You cannot have a better stay than this. Should be awarded as the best hostel in the world honestly. Loved every bit of it. Cleanliness blew my mind, all the team members were fab, location is excellent, multiple huge common areas. It’s a bit unrealistic to find such a space in Bombay.

Locomo hostel was wonderful. The staff is so attentive and their customer service is excellent. I wanted to give a special thank you to Saad at the reception who was so wonderful and helpful. Couldn't get much time to interact with him but he seemed to be a great host. Great managerial and customer service skills. The way he handles guest is incredible. His team runs around making sure everything is perfect for the guests. Hardest workers I’ve seen in a long time. It did not go unnoticed! I stayed here for a friend's wedding but would gladly come back to this hostel in the future. The terrace vibe was also wonderful.

Very satisfied with the cleanliness of the hostel, the size of the room, the helpfulness of the staffs.The breakfast was to our expectation. The area is central even if one wishes to walk around. We had a lovely stay, seriously! Our room was comfy, clean and we had service every day. The receptionist team was very friendly and professional. Saad, the go to person was extremely polite and warm just like his persona depicts.The breakfast and service was nice and fast and so homely.I would highly recommend this hostel. 5/5

Nice rooms, highly recommended! I was pleasantly surprised, the accommodation was great. When I will come back to Mumbai, I will stay only in this hostel. I cannot give a feedback on the breakfast, because I do not eat in the morning. There is nothing to complain about.The attentive and knowledgeable manager Saad ensured that my stay was comfortable and pleasant, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction. I can’t recommend Locomo enough for a fantastic stay experience.

Perfect choice I must say, everything was clean, with good public access to the central location. Very spacious dorms/rooms and extremely attentive staff. I feel glad that I came across Locomo as I haven't been finding such staffs in other hotels. Locomo has maintained the hospitality level and all credit goes to the Management Saad. He is the face of Locomo and so well organized and spoken. People will always look forward to come to these places because of this kind of resources. The boss must be lucky. Apart from that the food is amazing and especially the homely atmosphere

We were really pleased with our stay at the Locomo hostel as it is very nice, calm, modern and with all the facilities needed. It is ideally situated for visiting the many sights in Mumbai as it is just round the corner from the station and the hop on/off on autos. The staff are very good, especially the Manager Saad who was very helpful and took good care of our requirements. He's really good with people management. The food was good too and so was the evening ambience. Just loved our stay here- 5/5

I cannot recommend this stay enough. I have travelled to Mumbai before and it is so difficult to find a good stay at reasonable prices. I chose Locomo for a stay with friends around New Years. The location is wonderful, walking distance from the station. The hostel incredible clean and inviting. The staff is helpful and well-equipped to discuss our needs and queries. The terrace area has my heart. Having our breakfast there or chilling in the evenings, it managed to create peace in the bustling city of Mumbai. The room was brilliant. Clean, spacious, well-lit, well-decorated. Food is good, and they have stored additional snacks. Otherwise ordering in is not a problem either. If you're looking for a safe, cute, comfortable space (women travelers especially) which encourages healthy community networking as well as having your own me time, this place is for you. P.S - special shoutout to the staff at Locomo who made New Years so much fun with the drinking and dancing on the rooftop <3

I stayed at Locomo hostel which offers a stellar experience with its vibrant atmosphere, rooftop and excellent service. This is managed by Mr Saad and the hostel's cleanliness and modern amenities make for a comfortable stay. This wasn't expected from a backpacjer's hostel, I would say it is more of a 5 star hostel. Mr. Saad's hands-on management and his attention to needs and details ensures a very comforting and welcoming environment. Indeed this was one of my best stay experience so far. Other hostels should learn from them and provide such experiences for the guests.

Locomo hostel is a beautiful stay destination for travelers like me. It provided an exceptional experience from personalized recommendations by saad to a warm welcome.The hostel itself is clean, vibrant, and well-equipped, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Thanks to Saad and the Locomo team for a delightful stay.

Locomo is not just a hostel, it is an experience all together and on top of that Saad's hospitality at the hostel was truly exceptional. If you know Saad, you will know that this hostel is all about him.His warm welcome and genuine interest in guests created a homey atmosphere. The rooftop food experience was delightful, offering a perfect blend of flavors with a stunning view.The hostel is not just a place to rest; it's an immersive experience thanks to the host. Highly recommend for a welcoming stay with fantastic rooftop dining.

I had a fantastic stay at Locomo Hostel! Saad and his team was incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. He made sure we are at ease and comfort.The dorms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas were vibrant and well-maintained. The hostel's central location made it easy to explore the city. I highly recommend Locomo Hostel for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. Saad and bis team went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend locomo hostel for anyone visiting Mumbai.High quality rooms and high quality service. Saad was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to celebrate my birthday weekend.Overall, I had a great experience at Locomo.

Lovely Place right at the heart of Mumbai . Very Good Staff . Cleanliness is WOW . Food , though limited menu was good . NIce lovely terrace to chill whole day . Best is they are pet friendly and we had a good time with our pet . Lot of F & B options are around the place , if u r a foodie . Right in the centre of Market Place , so u can shop a lot . Next to Ville Parle Railway Station and very near to the Airport . Overall 5/5 .

Lovely stay! Saad the manager is super helpful and the whole staff is very professional. Neat and clean rooms, more spacious than most hostels that i have seen in the city. Good crowd comes too stay as well. Everything is well organised. The terrace common area is an amazing highlight. Locomo has become my go to stay in mumbai.

Won’t say much just go there and experience it on your own. Best hostel in Mumbai for staying. All hostel staff including kitchen and housekeeping staff are very nice and helpful. One can get the best food in hostel itself and I really liked it.

Best hostel in Mumbai ..! I stayed in multiple hostels in Mumbai but nothing like Locomo cleanliness , hygiene, comfort specially saad Bhai always there to help anytime just meet him whenever you come here 10star for Locomo

I had an outstanding stay at this well-managed hostel- Locomo! Saad manages this hostel and he was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. The facilities were clean, and the common areas were vibrant and inviting. The hostel's social events were a fantastic way to meet fellow travelers. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. I highly praise the management for creating such a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for guests. Thank you

The atmosphere is of a real lively hostel. The staff is really nice and super helpful. The breakfast could be a bit better but the overall experience was great. Super close to the railway station and the place is clean as well. I felt like home there, safe and relaxed. Met also some great people there and learned from them a lot.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. It is located at 5 min walk from the Vile Parle station and thus all types of market are at walking distance. You get fruits, food, shopping right from when you start walking out of the building. Convenient food stores are nearby, medical as well as grocery to get snacks or anything. The hostel was clean and the staff was very polite and helpful.

I have stayed here for 2 nights. Overall Great service. Value for money stay. Best place at ville parle nearby railway and airport. Very friendly and enjoyable environment. Nice place for friends or family stay.

The stay during September 2021 was good beyond our expectation considering the budget. The facility is at very convenient place and nicely maintained with cordial staff. They have a nice open terrace, an entertainment room etc. That time maintenance works were going on and hence had a few disturbances due to that.

An awesome experience. Hardly 15 min from the airport and many good locations. There is a big local market nearby where you get everything you need. Bike Parle station is just 2 min walk. The hostel ambience and there staffs were very welcoming. Special thanks to Yash Bohra for the wonderful initiative. They are very flexible as per your needs. There were renovation going on when we stayed. That was little uncomfortable. But for my next stay it would be my choice with more added fun..

Good rooms and common room , but prices should be a little less for dorms.

Hardly 10-12 mins from airport ,neat and clean .Staff is very cooperative and humble

Had visited the place with a friend who was staying. Very clean place. The 4 people rooms are the best. Toilet is very clean and has all the amenities. The rooms are spacious however please carry a lock with you to keep your stuff locked in. There are good sized lockers. The space on the roof is a big plus. It is very close to a railway station and trains are always going in each direction. Close to the domestic airport. And right in the middle of a vegetable market. They serve breakfast but was told that it is a different dish everyday. And mostly foreigners stay there. However the owners are helpful as my friend came in early to his booking time and since there was space they allowed him to use the facility before time.

They were very welcoming with us. We slept well qith AC in the rooms, they had filter water to refill your own bottle and good wifi connection. Locomo survival class. We arrived to the hostel and they proposed this lesson to help us improve our days in India. But little did we know how much this time would help us. Manali and Santosh helped us to organise our journey and taught us some words to communicate. On the other hand, it was also nice knowing a little bit more about them and their opinion about the visited places. Defenitelly, it's a recommended experience!

This is my second visit because the last stay in 2019 was good. But it is just ridiculous now, in its current form. Some good parts as this might be enough for you- 1. Some washrooms are clean 2. Dorms are manageable to an extent 3. Location is excellent ####### Now the ridiculous part- In short, it has none of the advantages that we looked for in a travellers’ hostel. No backpacking crowd experience. Not as affordable as they used to be. And management has gone nuts, they are more of a warden now rather than an experienced traveller. ####### In detail - 1. Cancellation policy is 28 days. It’s ridiculous for a travellers’ hostel. Might make sense for a paying guest which Locomo does look like now. Gamble for a traveller though. 2. Change of beds - vacate current bed and drawer and wait at the reception with your luggage for the new bed for 2 hours. Unnecessary. 3. Not a safe space - women are constantly complaining about men harassing them, looking inside the female dorm. There are obnoxious people who will loudly talk to their food if they have no one else to speak to, as if they are on stage and you are an audience. Today a guy was yelling at his phone on the terrace and was audible in the market 4 stories down. Terrace and reception sitting area is shut after midnight. So I found myself sitting and eating peacefully in the common area, only to be disturbed by a man, definitely beyond Locomo’s age policy, who barged in, swearing at the staff, looked drunk and decided to watch a loud horror movie on the projector there. He called more people on the phone and just like that the common area was packed with people including visitors, without masks and this is AFTER MIDNIGHT. Don’t get me wrong, hostels do host movie nights but they are generally planned, communicated and are in the evening. So where does one go after a long day of socialising or to figure further travels or just to speak to someone on phone because you cannot talk in dorms? Locomo don’t have a solution. This is when the manager shamed me for not being social enough for a hostel. 4. ACs leak all over beds (a dorm mate’s laptop narrowly escaped drowning) and ACs are shut for some random hours in the day (remember how parents would shut your fan to wake you up?) 5. You need to go down to the reception, wait for the manager to get free from the telephone conversation, get a slip and then give it to the kitchen, even for a tea. 6. Long term residents have blocked the lower beds, travellers need to suffice with upper beds. 7. Hygiene- linen based hygiene is bad. My second bed had a bedsheet with dead insects on it. Common room has visibly dirty linen (blackish). Blankets provided aren’t washed after use so be ready to sleep with someone else’s snot. 8. There is no ‘clean after yourself’ policy and staff doesn’t clean the furniture well. So all table and sitting furniture in areas where you are allowed to sit and eat, almost always is dirty. 9. Footwear policy is inconsistently followed. So if you don’t follow it, the wardens will bark at you. If you do, you will be rewarded with black feet/socks because most long term residents don’t follow it and the floor is sticky and dirty. ####### I have stayed in a lot of backpackers’ hostels in India and abroad and I even volunteered at a backpacker’s hostel during my break from corporate in 2019. The latter was in Mumbai and had simple and smart solutions for every single point made above. So I would recommend not staying at Locomo and rather leave this property for who they favour the most, the paying guests.

Stayed at this property for almost over a week and loved the experience..Super clean, hygienic property and really warm and helpful team of staff.. Convenient location- close to the airport, local train station and in middle of a market.. Not too many house rules, an common room with projector and the terrace makes it a super chill place.. Despite being in the middle of a market, it doesn't feel so... Its a Gated property providing free parking for 2 Wheeler's and has 24hr security. Gets deliveries from Zomato/swiggy/Amazon etc...

Awesome place. Very clean and neat ambience. Property manager explained and showed theproperty. One of the nice property manager everseen in hostels.

Nice place to stay very close to villa parle station. Neatness is there

Decent and colorful place, good and bright terrace with fairy lights and speaker. Common room is nice. Decent meal facility. Friendly staff. Amazing roof top terrace. Wifi works well in all common areas but okay okay inside the rooms. Over all a value for money place to stay and chill.

Booked a non-shared room for few nights. Short but amazing stay - wish could have stayed longer. Great energy, great vibes. Traveling with family - very safe area for women. Will have to come back soon!

Beautiful stay! Locomo hostel is a perfect place to stay in Mumbai. It is close to the center and the railway station. The room was very pleasant, it was cozy and clean. Breakfast was excellent and incredibly varied. The hostel team has always been friendly, patient and helpful. Saad impressed me the most with his polite and graceful attitude. No matter what time of day or night, you could turn to them with all your concerns. On my next stays, I will definitely check into Locomo again.

Locomo is only great place for me as per my travel requirement. I like the vibe and the team was amazing. I would highly mention about Saad how helpful he is. He help all the time regarding my booking and take care my guest very well. I would recommend you to visit this place and experience the best hospitality with great team and amazing stay.

Nice hostel. Very good location just 2 min walk from local station. Cozy rooms. Clean washrooms. You can chill around on the rooftop. Overall a worthy stay.

This is a excellent and a very convenient backpackers hostel to stay in. The staff is very helpful and extremely friendly. Especially Rahul and Yash, both are very nice people and will take care of you amazingly well while you are there. The food is also amazing. You pay only Rs.149 for this great thali which will fill your appetite pretty well. There's a terrace as well which is an amazing chill spot. Overall this is an amazing and affordable hostel to stay in with chill people:)

The interior is extremely pretty, very comfortable. The people are a vibe. The location of this place also makes everything else accessible. The staff is very warm and sweet! Amazing place for this price! Will definitely stay here again when in Mumbai.

I stayed here a few months back and didn’t get the chance to leave a review at the time. Wanted to do so because the staff were very accommodating and helped me to deal with my bicycle I was traveling with. The hostel is clean, offers affordable food, and has indoor/outdoor social areas where people gathered in the evenings. The train station is close and there’s markets/food nearby. Good place to meet friendly locals. Thanks for a nice welcome to India!

Overall a nice experience. They have shared rooms with AC and free WI-FI. The place is well maintained. The rooftop is also very nicely decorated. The airport is very near. Moreover Vila Parle railway station is just 500m away.

This is a prime hostel in Mumbai. I definitely intend on visiting again when I'm back in the city. It's a 5-15 minute ride from the airport, depending on which terminal you need to go to. The local train is also within walking distance which makes all of Mumbai easily accessible. The rooftop upstairs was gorgeous, the food was very homely and well priced, and the rooms were very comfortable. I appreciated the fact that each bed was supplied with both a light and heavy blanket, so you could use it as one's comfort needed. My only criticism is that there were an inordinate amount of mosquitos on the rooftop at night. One of the managers was nice enough to grab Odomos for me to use. I wonder if planting some lemongrass or other mosquito-repellant plants may help with mitigating the issue. Overall, it was a brilliant stay and I look forward to visiting again -- hopefully, next year!

15 minutes (tops) to & fro the Airport. Tons of cabs and auto's available 24x7. The Vile Parle Local station is hardly a minute walk from the hostel. The street is a complete marketplace (non-touristic)with the best quality produce (fruits & vegetables) available. Food, alcohol, everything is within a 10 minute walking radius. The hostel has an exceptional rooftop space and a full fledged kitchen who cook healthy, hygienic and tasty everyday. The staff is amicable & honest. The rooms are clean and the vibe is unmatched.

The first time I came to Mumbai, I had the best experince at Locomo. The ambience of the place is amazing!! I love the vibe here. The staff here is very helpful and friendly especially Saad Sir, the property manager. Also a very hygienic place, well maintained. Highly recommended!! Now this has become my go to place. Feels like home away from home!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Locomo. The room was beautiful and the location was just great. We walked to many things, but public transportation and recreational places were also close. The breakfast each morning was really good as well and we could each eat on our own schedule. We would certainly stay there again next time we are in Mumbai. Not to forget the helpfulness of the manager Saad and his team at the front desk. They even go out of their way to guide you through the places and are there at your service any hour of the day.
