How to Find Cheap Hotels in Mumbai India. The most cosmopolitan and exciting city in all of India, Mumbai offers a vibrant nightlife, colorful markets and an eclectic culture unique to itself. Finding cheap accommodations in Mumbai is easy.
Plan your trip for winter. As cheap accommodations can be found year-round, it makes sense to visit when the weather is best. A humid region during most of the year due to its coastal location, India offers winters that are mild and dry.
Research Mumbai on the Internet or purchase a guidebook to familiarize yourself with the area. Once you know where everything is, it will be easier to choose your accommodations.
Buy an updated map to take along with you wherever you go in India. The Eicher Mumba City Map is said to be the most accurate and detailed map available for the area. This map is relatively cheap and can be found in most bookstores.
Find the taxi office once you arrive at the airport to purchase a coupon for a cab to your hotel. By prepaying, you avoid being overcharged for what should be a cheap fare.
Consider staying at a hostel. Mumbai has a number of hostels located around the city. Many of them are well maintained and offer excellent cheap accommodations.
Stay at a bed and breakfast or 'guesthouse.' The family-run rented rooms are often as affordable as hostels or cheap hotels, but also offer a warmth and cultural experience the others do not.
Find comfort and cheap accommodations at one of Mumbai's many YMCA locations. Reasonably priced accommodations are available at the Colaba, Bombay Central, Andheri and CBD Belapur branches. Their Web site offers detailed information.
