Reviews of Anjali Inn

05 February 2012

Liked: Well it is close to the airport and it is a good place to meet other travellers, but...

Disliked: Arriving at the airport at 11PM I was promised a pickup but they weren't there...said I should have waited but I took a taxi to the address...but Indian adresses aren't specific and the best they could do was a dark street corner...but the place was in fact close by, found it, and they said sorry no beds available, sleep on the floor for a reduced price! Otherwise the staff are nice but the bosses who come by to collect money are not, and the dorms are extremely crowded. I advise you to go to Colaba on a prepaid taxi, you'll probably have to get to central Mumbai anyway!

Liked: Hey, we stayed in one of the female dorms (6 beds) of anjali inn in mumbai for 2 nights and really liked in there. it was our last accomondation after being for 4 weeks in india, so we've seen quite a lot hostels, hotels and guesthouses before we came to the anjali inn. the whole hostel was like one big flat with a living room and dining table (where we met a bunch of other backpackers), free use of internet. we felt comfortable and safe all the time. our room was all nice and clean with a/c, no bugs, a big window and closet and a tv, which we didn't really use. raj, the host, was helpful and friendly! the airport pick-up worked well and the hostel arranged a airport drop off for us at 4 am and only 150rs. there is a warm and friendly atmosphere, all employees are really kind and helpful. shower and warm water! breakfast and good chai as you wanted any (extra fee)

Disliked: we had a shared bathroom, which was not as clean and hygienic as the rest of the hostel, but still ok for indian standard. it's quite expansive for indian standard but still affordable for mumbai standard (mumbai is an expansive city, almost western prices) it's very close to the airport, which was fine for us, but if you want to see the city (colaba,...) and stay for several days the anjali inn might not be the best choice - because only taxis give you a ride into the city (we paid one way 200 - 300 rs)

Liked: This was just what we needed - somewhere close to the airport to crash overnight before our early morning flight. The room was clean and comfortable (though water was luke warm rather than hot). The staff made things perfect, they were so helpful - they arranged a free pick-up from the airport, ordered us pizza, fixed our TV (on which we watched a couple of movies in English from the large selection of channels), sorted our taxi back to the airport (at a cost of Rs200), woke us up at 3am. Really great service, and only 15 mins from the domestic airport (international is even closer). Thanks!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: the atmosphere in hostel was really nice and you can get to know a lot of people there. you can feel as at home there.

Disliked: we had to pay for the "taxi" from hostel to airport. we had a flight orund 4 am and they wanted to charge us for staying longer in a hostel (not in a room) - they let us stay till 11pm.

28 January 2012 Rachel would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing atmosphere... good common area and fast wi fi. There is always people at the hostel or going out doing things. Really easy to meet people. Have beer and water available, also breakfast for 40 Rs. Raj is incredibly helpful with any of your Mumbai or travel questions.

Disliked: Only three bathrooms, but it's doable.

25 January 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent room, very clean and comfortable. The staff were lovely and everything worked well. Good location; far from South Mumbai (Colaba, Gateway of India etc) but only about an hour by train. Very close to the airport and free airport pick-up and drop-off, so a great location if you are moving on from Mumbai. Free wifi was reliable and 24/7. Overall an excellent place to stay and I would certainly go again.

Disliked: My room was near the front desk and this was a bit loud late at night and early in the morning as the walls were thin and I could hear the phone/TV/other guests etc. If you are a light sleeper be sure to request a room away from the front desk.

Liked: good service from and to airports.

Disliked: bad management of a day trip round the city : there has been a misunderstanding and the taxi dispperead without completeing the tour. As a result 5 people of my group ( 12 people) were left alone. The manager of the hotel collected the money before the tour and did not refund the 5 people declaring of beeing not responsible for this occurence.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: When you exit the airport and see your name on the board it's such a relief! So the airport pick up is a definite reason to book here. The place is clean, quiet, relaxed, easy going and an excellent introduction to the Mumbai Madness. The staff are helpful and always on hand.

Disliked: If you want to be in the center of Mumbai then this is not the place for you (although the center is easy to reach), but if you need a calm base for two or three days at the beginning or the end of your trip then you could do a lot worse than pitch up here!

24 December 2011 Salil would recommend this property

Liked: It is very cheap compared to other places in Mumbai and the service is excellent. I especially liked the free pickup from the airport because Mumbai is not a city where you can trust the taxi-drivers, especially at the international airport.

Disliked: Nothing particular.

23 December 2011 Ana Maria would recommend this property

Liked: As a woman traveling alone for the first time in India, I was very scared about everything. But as soon as I met the guy at the airport I felt safe. The people are very nice there, the hostel is almost full, so you can meet people, and the cleanliness is the average for India.

Disliked: The location is not easy to find, even for locals, and as it is the second floor of a private building, nobody knows that there is a hostel in the area.

16 December 2011 Kuldip would recommend this property

Disliked: The location.

24 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Liked the free airport pickup, and the staff was sufficiently helpful. Good place to meet other travellers, too.

Disliked: Was charged a half night stay for my six am arrival, and wasn't informed of this until checking out. Also, a dormmate of mine had bedbugs which the management doubted, but changed the linens in the room anyways. He also mentioned he found a termite nest when doing so, but did not seem to do anything more than change the sheets. I was happy to make it out without bites of my own.

Liked: Friendly staff

Disliked: Not the best location

10 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Right by the airport with free pick up and drop off services. Great atmosphere, very easy to meet people, very friendly and helpful staff. Cool neighborhood that I preferred to the touristy main part of the city, and the train to get to the main part of the city is only 8 rupees.

Disliked: About an hour train ride from the main tourist areas of the city, so if you want to be in the middle of everything, this isn't the place for you.
