India’s most popular backpacker’s hostel chain has come to the northern Mumbai suburb of Andheri. Zostel offers a mix of women-only and mixed dorm rooms and private rooms, each designed to reflect a local Mumbai train station.
There are three common rooms, where travellers can gather and play board games or binge-watch box sets on laptops, plus a vibrant Bollywood-themed rooftop with wrought iron charpoys, bean bags and a carom table with a view of Mumbai’s skyline.
