Galaxy Cabin Stay And Dormitory
Given the pervasive issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and staff conduct, this property is not recommended for a comfortable or pleasant stay. It falls short of even basic expectations for budget accommodation.
Galaxy Cabin Stay And Dormitory offers dormitory-style accommodation in Mumbai, featuring single beds within clusters, each equipped with a privacy curtain, air conditioning vent, side table, lamp, and tubelight. While the beds themselves are noted as comfortable and the location is considered excellent, the property faces significant challenges regarding cleanliness and maintenance. Guests have reported dusty rooms, rust, and mosquitos, alongside issues with shared bathrooms, including leaks and unsanitary conditions. Staff service has also been a point of contention, with reports of rudeness towards international guests.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is a significant issue, with reports of dusty rooms, rust, mosquitos, and unsanitary shared bathrooms, including spitting in wash basins and wet floors due to leaks.
“The room was dusty, it looked like no one has slept in it for a year. Rust and mosquitos”
“common toilet/bath is ok cos its new. since the partitions are of wood, it was already leaking when it rained and the floors were wet. If only those who use it leave it clean for the next person and dont spit in the wash basin with their pan stains!”
Shared bathrooms
While the common toilets/baths are new, they suffer from maintenance issues like leaking partitions and significant cleanliness problems due to guest behaviour, including spitting.
