Where to spend a night in the Mumbai airport
My girlfriend and I have a layover at the Mumbai airport from 19:35 to 05:55 and we would like to sleep in a cheap place near to the airport (maximum 30 minutes away). Is there any cheap hotel near there? Or any cheap lounge where to sleep well? (flight at 05:55 is an intercontinental flight and we prefer to stay "fresh"). If not possible, is the airport a safe place to sleep?
Best Answer
I had a 5:30 AM departure two weeks ago from Mumbai international airport. Before checkin, my options for a nap were very limited, even very few chairs available. However, my checkin opened up around 1 AM, which seemed to be fairly typical for early morning flights. After checkin, there are plenty of seats and some recliners, but, on my visit, most if not all were occupied, due to almost everyone arriving very early for their early morning flights. The airport, both before and after checkin, felt decidedly safe.
Besides the hotels Mark mentions, there's the budget Anjali Inn, which is right next to the airport, getting good reviews and is as budget as you'll get in Mumbai. I considered staying here, but, with nearly two days to spend before my flight, I opted for a hotel right next to Victoria Terminus (the main train station), where I entered Mumbai.

Head to Airport Lounges The downside is that most lounges aren't open overnight. There are exceptions though, such as the Plaza Premium Lounge in Hong Kong. However, many lounges allow you to buy a day pass, which can get you access to food, showers and a place to rest if you didn't get much sleep the night before.SPENT 14 HRS AT MUMBAI AIRPORT
