I did not have a good experience at Backpacker Cowie in Mumbai. The place was not clean, and to make matters worse, another guest used my bed without my permission. This made my stay very uncomfortable. I would not recommend it.

Backpacker Cowies is a great budget option in Mumbai with an excellent location near major attractions. The staff is friendly, and the common areas are social. However, I found it a bit dirty, which was disappointing. Also, there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so plan accordingly for meals.

I stayed here as a female solo traveller and they seem to arrange girls to be in a same room which felt pretty safe.

My stay at Backpackers was great. It was in a perfect location for reaching sights easily. There is great shopping, restaurants and the Gateway within steps. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I booked a private room and was very happy with the accommodation. It had a private bathroom. A/C and Wi-Fi both worked well. Will stay here again.
