Mumbai’s Best Nest-UP PG Hostels: Ranked for Location, Food, and Living Comfort
If you've ever house-hunted in Mumbai, you know the feeling. The chaos. The rent shock. The real-estate agents who sound friendlier than your therapist until you realize they charge half your kidney as a brokerage.
So when someone whispers "Nest-UP PG" —a name that's been quietly making waves among students and working professionals—you lean in. Because finding a place in Mumbai that actually balances comfort, commute, and cost? That's rarer than finding an empty seat in a Virar local at rush hour.
Let's get real: no PG is perfect. But some are clearly better positioned—especially when you factor in metro access, food quality, AC/amenities, and the general "can-I-survive-here-without-losing-my-sanity" score.
So, after comparing five of Nest-UP's most popular Mumbai PGs—from Vile Parle to Goregaon—here's your insider-style breakdown.
1. Vile Parle West – The All-Rounder
Imagine this: you're done with classes or work, and the metro's barely 10 minutes away. You reach home, the AC hums to life, WiFi connects instantly, and your dinner—pure veg, home-style comfort food—is waiting.
That's Nest-UP PG, Vile Parle West in a nutshell.
- 1.6 km from Metro (Aqua Line), 1.5 km from Vile Parle Railway Station
- Meals included — "Pure Veg Meals – Home-style"
- Electricity, WiFi, housekeeping — all included
It's like the "I've-made-it" level of PGs. The vibe? Clean, organized, and a little premium—kind of like the student version of a 3-star hotel. Sure, you'll pay slightly higher rent (think of it as the student luxury tax), but you get peace of mind and zero daily food drama in return.
Score: Highest across all categories.
Caveat: The rent reflects the premium—expect to shell out more for those home-style rotis.
2. Andheri East (MIDC/Chakala) – The Practical Commuter's Choice
If you compare Mumbai to a game of Monopoly, Andheri East would be the square everyone fights over. Why? Because it's right in the middle of everything.
Metro, cafes, offices, airport—you name it, it's probably within 15 minutes.
Nest-UP PG Andheri East plays this card beautifully. Fully furnished rooms? Check. AC? Check. Decent food facilities? Also check.
- Near MIDC-Andheri Metro Station
- Food facility listed on-site
- Fully furnished, AC available
You'll find rent starting around ₹10,000/month for shared rooms, and up to ₹13,000 depending on configuration. It's not a "fancy" PG, but it nails the basics.
If your weekdays look like "wake up, work, crash, repeat," this is your zone. Think of it as your practical bunker in the middle of Mumbai's madness.
Score: Excellent connectivity, reliable amenities.
Caveat: Slightly lower on the food experience vs. Vile Parle.
3. Andheri West – The Social Butterfly's Pick
You know that one friend who always "knows a place"? Yeah, they probably live in Andheri West.
Four Bungalows, Lokhandwala, cafes, late-night kebab joints—it's the playground for students and young professionals.
Nest-UP PG Andheri West captures that energy perfectly. You step outside, and the world's happening around you.
- Near Lokhandwala / Four Bungalows area
- Buzzing locality with restaurants, gyms, studios
- AC rooms, variable rent options
It's not just a place to visit—it's a place to live. You might find yourself bumping into musicians, filmmakers, or digital nomads every now and then.
Score: Great lifestyle + decent commute.
Caveat: Metro access isn't as tight as Andheri East, so factor in some rickshaw time.
4. Malad East / Goregaon East – The Balanced Budgeter
Let's talk about value. Because not everyone wants to pay a Vile Parle premium just to get WiFi that actually works.
The Nest-UP PGs in Malad East and Goregaon East provide that balance beautifully. They're fully furnished, internet-ready, and surprisingly affordable for the amenities they offer.
- Close to Kurar, Dindoshi, Aarey Metro stations
- WiFi, shared rooms, high-speed connectivity
- Food not prominently listed—check before booking
These are your "smart pick" PGs—comfortable, functional, and ideal if you're juggling a budget with a decent commute. Think of it as the "Thrifty Student Deluxe Edition."
Score: Great for value seekers.
Caveat: Food inclusion isn't always clear; ask specifically.
5. Goregaon West – The Budget Champ
Last but far from least, Nest-UP PG Goregaon West is for those who'd rather save rent and splurge on Zomato.
It's got all the must-haves—WiFi, fridge, gas stove—and excellent connectivity near Ram Mandir Station and Western Express Highway.
- Near Ram Mandir Station
- AC & Non-AC options
- Self-cook or eat out flexibility
The rooms might not win "Instagram aesthetic of the year," but they get the job done. If you need a safe and affordable stay that is light on your pocket, this is what you need.
Score: Best for budget-conscious renters.
Caveat: Meals not included, and non-AC rooms dominate the cheaper categories.
