MAPLE ZOCIAL HUBZ — Hotel in Mumbai

Not Value for Money 🚫 I paid ₹500 per bunk bed, but the experience was far from satisfactory. The room has 30 beds, not the 10 as displayed on Goibibo. It’s extremely congested, with around 25 people (including staff) living in the same room. There are issues with mosquitoes and cleanliness, and the bedsheets provided were far from clean. It's definitely not worth the money. Also, the female dorm has only 4 beds, while the male dorm has 30 beds. Why such disparity?

Location 👍 The location is actually a positive aspect. It’s in an industrial-cum-residential area, with a restaurant on the ground floor of the hostel. The convenience of being in a society with nearby food options is good.

Service Quality 🚫 The service is poor. The staff seems untrained in how a hostel should operate. They constantly push for offline payments instead of using platforms like MakeMyTrip. There’s no cleanliness in the dorms, no regular changing of bed sheets, and no efforts to address the mosquito problem. Bathrooms lack basic supplies like soap, and laundry is outsourced, taking 2–3 days to return washed clothes.

Food and Drinks 👍 There’s no internal kitchen, just a stove and fridge on the terrace. However, you can easily order food via Swiggy or try nearby restaurants like Dine Inn, which offers good food at affordable prices.

Amenities 🚫 The only amenity provided is Wi-Fi. There’s nothing else in terms of recreational or additional services.

Cleanliness 🚫 The hostel seriously lacks cleanliness. Bed sheets are not changed even when requested, rooms and the terrace are dirty, and there’s a major mosquito issue...

CATASTROPHIC!!!!!!!

ROOM The beds are maximum 180cm long (probably less) The rooms are extra tiny hardly any space to move, packed with bunkbeds. Pillowcase smelling used, blankets without sheets. Locker with key available - except for the door itself is not connecting to the lock, its always open.

PEOPLE This is not a backpacker travellers hostel... Constant movement of people included staff, the female dorm i stayed in was right in front of reception - no privacy and everyone very loud.

STAFF TRYING TO STEAL MY MONEY I had to pay 600, i gave 1000 rupees and the 400 change was magically forgotten, in a sum of 10 minutes 3 times i requested the change, he did not reply even a word to it!!!! Patience and persistence helped. After insisting for another 10 minutes i got the 400. Wow...that was shocking.

SLEEP? NO SLEEP! Ok say you get it all over, you go to sleep. Staff: The staff starts with loud videos in reception around 21pm, again, the room is right in front! Neighbour: There is a restaurant right underneath the hostel - they start playing music around 23h, so loud that the bed literally vibrates with the bass!!! Guests: Then comes the other guests - russian speaking loud no matter that its midnight, lights are on, even when they leave the room (and they come and go), doors left open, receptionist boy is also coming and going in and out the room, its a mess. Around 2 am, after a bit of delirium-like falling in-an-out of sleep, STARTS THE NEXT SHOW: MOSQUITOES!!!! This place is packed with mosquitoes - and they start their feast right in the middle of the night, when finally both restaurant and people are a...

If you're looking for a backpacker hostel near the airport, this one is a great choice. The beds are clean, and the toilets are well-maintained. However, only one out of the four bathrooms has a water heater. The highlight of the hostel is the cozy terrace, which also features a small kitchen. Although the hostel is located inside an industrial estate, you won't encounter much noise. There's also a restaurant bar on the ground floor where you can relax, unless you're...
