What it is
Guests typically choose Matheran for its balance of location and price; Hotel Midland Hostel is a good fit if you want to be near the action in Mumbai.
Where it sits
Hotel Midland Hostel is in Matheran, at Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 2 km from Terminal 2, 16 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 3 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 9 minutes to the airport, 56 minutes to Fort and 11 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.

Staying in Matheran
Stay on or just off MG Road if you want to walk to food and the market — mid-range hotels there run ₹3,500 to ₹6,500 a night in season, most with mandatory meal plans that are actually good value. The heritage bungalows are scattered along the Charlotte Lake and Louisa Point directions: bigger rooms, wood floors, verandahs, ₹8,000 to ₹18,000, and a 15 to 25 minute walk in from Dasturi Naka that you should factor into arrival planning. Budget lodges near the railway station are ₹1,800 to ₹2,800 and often noisy with tour groups. Two things to avoid: any property that describes itself as five minutes from the station without specifying whether that is walking or on horseback, and weekend rates in April–May and Diwali, when the same room can double. Book porters through your hotel in advance; freelance rates at the car park are negotiable but the negotiation happens while you stand in the…

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Hotel Midland Hostel at the moment; hotels in Matheran on our list start at about ₹10,600 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.

We had a wonderful experience during our stay. All the staff members provided excellent service, especially Reception Manager Mr. Pradeep Sharma, who was extremely helpful and quick to resolve any issues. His prompt support made our stay even more comfortable. It’s a great budget hotel with very reasonable prices.…Sagar Bhatia · 5/5
The best hospitality I have ever received, the staff were really friendly and available to you all the time. location wise it's perfect it's close to the local train and restaurants are there nearby. But the real highlight is service, real top notch.prateek Kushalappa · 5/5
My go-to hotel in when passing thru Bombay. Perfect location in Santa Cruz central to everything & railway station is 500 meters. Staff is kind & helpful - boys are very hard working. Price is decent and the rooms are ok for the price. Budget hotel, central location & nice rooftop area. Always good for a few nights…Yeshe Kyle N. · 5/5
