Backpacker Cowies  

In Colaba, Mumbai — a heritage corner steps from the waterfront. Minutes from the Gateway of India and Marine Drive, and close to the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Prince of Wales Museum. A budget-friendly hostel base for backpackers and city explorers.

Set in a heritage building with 143 individually furnished guestrooms and shared bathrooms. Communal living room, shared kitchen and lockers for guests (bring your own lock). The property follows a Green Hour initiative, so air-conditioning is switched off for a few hours each day.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry facilities and tour/ticket assistance. Communal areas for meeting fellow travelers and a lively bar on site. Walkable to the waterfront — expect easy access to sea-breeze mornings and Colaba’s streets.

On-site bar and restaurant for relaxed evenings after sightseeing. A shared/communal kitchen is available if you prefer to cook while you travel.
