What it is
From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including Mandapeshwar Caves, Borivali — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.
Because pricing is set live by the hotel and its suppliers, the figure shown here is a recent snapshot; check the current rate for your exact dates before booking.
Where it sits
The Dorm Factory is in Borivali, at Manchubhai Road Near Malad Subway Railway Station Malad East Manchubhai Road Near Fatimadevi School Manchubhai Roadnear Malad Subwaymalad East, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 11 km from Terminal 2, 28 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 14 km from the Bandra Kurla Complex.
Road times in Mumbai are not a function of distance. Modelled at the city-wide average of about 17 km/h, that is roughly 40 minutes to the airport, 99 minutes to Fort and 49 minutes to BKC — add half again in the evening peak, and take the train instead wherever the route allows. These are modelled figures, not measured ones.
What is included

Staying in Borivali
The practical band is around Borivali station east and the Western Express Highway service road, where business hotels run ₹2,500–₹6,000 including breakfast and parking, and you are 10 minutes from both metro lines and the park gate. On the west side, IC Colony and Eksar offer quieter guesthouses and serviced flats at ₹3,000–₹6,500 with genuine neighbourhood atmosphere but a longer walk to the station. Long-stay apartments in Borivali West and Kandivali rent at ₹30,000–₹60,000 a month. Avoid rooms directly over the station approach road, where hawker noise starts at 5am and the auto-rickshaw stand never stops, and avoid the very cheap lodges in the lanes immediately east of the tracks — ₹1,200 buys a windowless box. Ask whether the hotel is within walking distance of a metro station; several claim it and are 2 km away.

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for The Dorm Factory at the moment; hotels in Borivali on our list start at about ₹5,600 a night. Check the live price before you plan around a number — Mumbai rates move with the trade-fair and wedding calendars, and a room can double in the week of a large event.
November to February is the expensive season and the comfortable one. June to September — the monsoon — is the cheapest, and the rain is less of an obstacle than people expect if you plan around the mornings.

I booked and paid the whole amount for a room including breakfast through makemytrip app. Reached around 10.40pm. There is no sign board, even the security guards of the next door building has no knowledge of such a place, the shops around, panwallahs no one knew the place. Luckily there is a photograph of the front…Maitreya Maitreyan · 1/5
