I stayed here a few times, when visiting Mumbai. Its in a great location. 1 minute walk to the local train station. R200 in a taxi to the airport. The locomo is very clean with an open air cafe located on the roof top. They have chill out rooms. The food here is really good. The chef will cater for all your needs. You can go on trips here, the slums, mumbai city tour. Bollywood studios ect. Staff are very friendly and helpful,

I initially booked for only 2 nights but ended up staying for 10 because the place was THAT good. Facilities were clean and everything I needed was available. I appreciated there being a washing machine on site. Beds were super comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The staff are the highlight, Aakash and Suneel went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and Aniketh is so knowledgeable and helpful. The place is very homely and the resident cats Billu and Bebo will shower you with love! Such an amazing stay and I will definitely be back.

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.
