The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, the inside of the hostel is beautifully decorated." - "The room was big and comfortable and the bathroom was fine. Things are basic but really good for the cost." - " " - "The staff was kind and helpful but they wanted to keep our passports overnight which we refused and wanted us to pay for the room although it was charged from the card. There was no breakfast in the property despite the info on the hotels.com and nowhere around to eat on Sunday morning. The kitchen at the hotel was too dirty to even enter. Hot water, but little pressure. You could hear the noise of trains and people outside. Rather safe surrounding. "

- "For the pric, I couldn’t have asked for more. Great stay " - "Great Location , Friendly Staff and helpful. Quickly Check-in. " - "Superb. Only one black mark is bad smell from the room." - "This is not a place for outsiders. All of the other guests in the (tiny) bunks were poor Indian men on their way to be, say, a guest laborer somewhere (one man showed me his visa to Ghana). Anyway, it was awkward AF, so I powered through a couple nights and then moved next-door to the Afra hostel — still pretty much a local place, but MUCH better, and I even made some new good friends there. Actual showers, a few western toilets, a men's wing, a woman's wing, and a mixed dorm, no hangout space, but at least the bunks have really good curtains, and an electrical outlet and a light. Next-door at Shahana you're just in the dark if the room is in the dark, and you might be made to feel out-of-place."

It's not really near anything, but it's easy to move around with Uber" - "Nap Manor is located in a neighborhood of Mumbai that may be comfortable during the day but definitely not at night for us. The staff compensate by being helpful and suggesting alternatives to going out at night for food. We had a private room and bath that was acceptable.

We were able to store our luggage (though not in a locked area) for a few hours on our last day. That was appreciated. "

- "This was our best experience in two weeks traveling. There is no proper A.C. so you might want to sleep outside like the family does. We played with the kids and cooked some bread over the fire. Dinner is the whole family sitting on rugs outside eating great farm food. We rode out to see antelope, flamingos, and a random monkey. Then we tried pottery the old fashioned way. We hiked to watch the sun set. This is a really nice family and a chance to see how people actually live, but if you like cushy hotels it may not be your thing. Great conversation with sons."
