I had a wonderful stay at Forrest Hostels. The dormitory is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which immediately gives a sense of comfort and hygiene. The staff’s behavior is equally impressive — they are polite, attentive, and always ready to help, making the overall experience warm and welcoming. The combination of a spotless environment and genuinely good hospitality makes Forrest Hostels a reliable choice for anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free stay. Highly recommended for travelers who value cleanliness and friendly service.
Hatsoff to the artists for the concept behind this hostel ambience. It's a small and beautiful space in Bandra region. A forest theme blended with reused vehicle parts! Hostel is bit inside a small and crowded street. Entry secured with pin. As i am very fond of tiny spaces, I felt very comfy there. There is a cafe also with affordable price and good food, yet takes time to serve though. Good service and strict rules.. 😃
Probably one of the worst hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Not really spoken about that its entrance is down an alley in a fish market. Feels Unsafe for women. The entire place smells like poo, it’s warm sticky and humid. Not a single window in the place. The water fountain which says drinking water on it, is filled up from the tap and has made all of our group extremely extremely unwell. The hostel is dominated by men working on laptops it’s not a good vibe. It seems as if all of the workers sleep here and take over the entire place during the day. Very very weird vibes. As a young female traveller, do not go here.
