Your luggage will be transferred to your GOI flight so you will have hand luggage only. If I were
you, I would just stay at the BOM transit hotel (Niranta) until the AM and catch the GOI flight.
Alternately I think there is an earlier GOI flight as well (around 2:30 AM). You can take that
and reach GOI to relax in your final destination. This will mean no transit hotel needed. You
can go to the Priority pass lounge in the departures area. I do not know if they have showers
but I doubt it....Good Luck !
