PG in Andheri West under ₹6,000
Zest Stays 1054, Adarsh Nagar, Jogeshwari West, Mumbai 400053 · Last verified
Under ₹6,000 a month in Andheri West means one thing in practice: a dormitory bed. At Zest Stays 1054 that is ₹5,999 for an upper bunk, air-conditioned, with free WiFi, a personal locker and daily housekeeping, roughly 100 metres from Lower Oshiwara Metro.
This page is about what that budget genuinely buys in this part of Mumbai, and what it does not.
What ₹6,000 gets you, honestly
At this price you are getting a bed in a shared air-conditioned dormitory. You are not getting a private room — in Andheri West a private room starts around ₹9,500 with us, and higher through most brokers.
What you are also getting, which matters more than it sounds: a location within walking distance of a metro station. Cheaper beds exist in Mumbai, but they are usually a train ride and a connecting auto away from where you actually need to be, and the daily cost of that journey eats the saving.
The total, not the headline
The rent figure is the number everyone compares. The move-in figure is the number that actually leaves your account.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| First month's rent — dormitory upper bed | ₹5,999 |
| Security deposit (refundable) | ₹2,000 |
| Police verification (one-time, statutory) | ₹600 |
| Brokerage | ₹0 |
| Platform or joining fee | ₹0 |
| Total to move in | ₹8,599 |
| Every month after that (rent + electricity) | ₹6,499 |
The ₹2,000 comes back when you leave, subject to our refund policy. The ₹600 does not — it pays for a legal requirement, not a service.
Where the money usually goes elsewhere
The reason budget PG hunting in Mumbai is frustrating is rarely the rent. It is what gets added after you have decided. Commonly:
- Brokerage — often a full month's rent, sometimes more
- A deposit of one to three months rather than a flat amount
- Electricity billed per unit with no cap, which in a Mumbai summer is not a small number
- Maintenance or joining fees introduced at signing
We charge a flat ₹2,000 deposit and flat ₹500 monthly electricity on dormitory beds, and no brokerage at all. Our no-brokerage guide sets out the comparison in detail.
If ₹6,000 turns out to be tight for what you need
The same building has more private options if a shared dormitory does not suit your schedule:
| Room or bed type | Monthly rent |
|---|---|
| Dormitory — upper bed Shared A/C dormitory, one bunk per resident | ₹5,999/mo |
| Dormitory — lower bed Shared A/C dormitory, one bunk per resident | ₹7,000/mo |
| Double sharing room Private room shared by two residents | ₹9,500/mo |
| Common partition A/C Semi-private partition, single occupancy | ₹10,000/mo |
| Private partition A/C Enclosed partition with its own door | ₹12,000/mo |
| Single private room Solid-walled room, solo occupancy | ₹16,000/mo |
Add ₹2,000 refundable deposit and ₹600 one-time police verification. Electricity is ₹500/month (₹750 for private partitions); double sharing and single rooms are metered at ₹15 per unit. No brokerage, no agent fee, no platform fee. Meals are not provided. Full terms in our refund and cancellation policy.

How to check a budget PG before you pay
- Ask for the total move-in figure in writing, itemised.
- Ask whether electricity is flat or metered, and at what rate.
- Ask how many beds are in the room. It varies enormously.
- Ask whether police verification is done. It is legally required.
- Ask what the notice period and deposit refund timeline are, before you pay rather than after.
- Visit. At this price point, photographs are the least reliable part of any listing.

What is the total cost to move in at ₹5,999?

Can I get a private room under ₹6,000 in Andheri West?
Not with us. Our lowest private option is a double sharing room at ₹9,500 per month. Under ₹6,000 in this area means a dormitory bed.
Is the ₹600 police verification charge refundable?
No. It pays for a statutory verification requirement for paying guest accommodation in Mumbai, not for a service we provide. The ₹2,000 security deposit is refundable.
Is electricity included in the ₹5,999?
No. Electricity is a flat ₹500 per month for dormitory beds, so your all-in monthly cost is ₹6,499. It is a flat charge, not metered, so it does not rise in summer.
