Mumbai's first vaguely hostel-like backpackers features a spiffed-up lobby (pallet-supported lounges, for example) but the keycode-accessed six- and eight-bed dorms are cool, clean and climate-controlled (though cramped). There's a tiny kitchen and upgraded outdoor patio, also. It sits next to Chakala Metro, which connects with the main train line at Andheri, 10 minutes by taxi from both of Mumbai's airports.
