What it is
Guests typically choose Powai for its balance of location and price; Sunshine Hostels is a good fit if you want to be near the action in Mumbai.
Rates shift with the season and with demand, so the live price on the booking page is always the one to trust — tap through for tonight's or your dates' real availability.
Where it sits
Sunshine Hostels is in Powai, at Opp Ibi House & The Qube Near, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 2 km from Terminal 2, 19 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 4 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 7 minutes to the airport, 66 minutes to Fort and 15 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
The property lists 12 facilities. The ones that decide a booking are grouped below; anything unusual — early check-in, a late departure, a desk that takes a laptop — is worth confirming when you book, because listings and reality drift.

Staying in Powai
Split the decision by which side of the lake you need. For lake views and conference space, the Renaissance and Lakeside Chalet on Adi Shankaracharya Marg and the Westin at Hiranandani Business Park run ₹9,000–₹16,000 a night midweek, more when a convention fills the ballroom. For eco-certified and quieter, Rodas and Meluha The Fern sit inside Hiranandani Gardens off Central Avenue at ₹6,500–₹11,000. Long-stay consultants should look at serviced apartments around Powai Plaza and Nahar Amrit Shakti in Chandivali, where a month runs ₹65,000–₹1,10,000. Avoid the very cheap guesthouses along Saki Vihar Road near the Chandivali junction — they are ₹2,500 rooms with no lift, generator noise and an unlit 700 m walk to any restaurant. Also avoid anything advertised as Powai but with a Vikhroli or Kanjurmarg address; the highway crossing is miserable on foot.
More on the neighbourhood, including how to move around it and what is worth walking to, is on the Powai page.
What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Sunshine Hostels at the moment; hotels in Powai on our list start at about ₹8,900 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.

It is good hotel for a day transit, very close to the international airport. Restaurant facility for basic food order too is satisfactory. My mom who is 60+ stayed there alone twice during her transit and it was safe and staff is very helpful. Rooms are small but for a single occupancy it was fair enough. Though…Husena Khedawala · 3/5
It was a solo and leisurely trip. Stayed for a night. A good place for a transit stay near the International Airport, Mumbai. The room & washroom was clean. The reception staff was cooperative. The management provided a free drop at T-2 early in the morning. Elevator is not available therefore it is not suitable for…Pankaj Bajpai · 4/5
