Cute old charm hotel in an excellent location. Staff are friendly and kind and the rooms are clean- perfect for someone looking for a safe place to rest their head at night!

Staff were incredibly helpful & pleasant through my short stay. Room was clean & breakfast fresh, as expected with an old property abit tired at areas but like the lift adds to the charm.

Perfect location for us to catch a ship the next day. Very accommodating staff. Large, comfortable room, if slightly dated. Would stay again without hesitation.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Perfect location to visit south of Mumbai. A soft renovation of rooms could enhance the experience. Staff at restaurant very friendly. Breakfast basic. Price per night in the upper range, but perhaps typical for Mumbai. Other places in India seem to have lower prices.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful staff who helped when my elderly father was sick. We stayed in a large family room, watch feels like a mini apartment, ideal for a family of three or four.. This is our second stay here.. The staff remembered us fondly from last year..it is located in a quiet, beautiful part of Mumbai and the hotel itself is an historic building..Will certainly stay again next time my family is in Mumbai.

The staff were excellent. Very helpful and professional. The rooms and general hotel ambiance were very English colonial. The location was very close to the cruise terminal. The room floor was not clean. The bottom of my feet were dirty from walking barefoot in the room.

The hotel was in a very central location. They told us that the hot water is only on during certain times. The breakfast buffet was decent. The staff at the hotel was very nice & helpful.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was spotless, the staff were always helpful and on point. Fresh water, tea and coffee each day. A large, quiet room. And a very quaint elevator, retaining the original feel of the building. Breakfast was included for us and it was simple but certainly adequate. Fruit, cereal, toast, muffins, omlettes and a good selection of Indian favourites. We ate dinner in the restaurant a few times. The food was always tasty, although not always the same as "home", but hey, it's India. If I wanted things to be the same, what's the point of travelling?

This hotel is an old hotel that could use an update. With that being said it was quite comfortable to stay in. The room was clean and in a great location. The staff was very good and the young lady who was the concierge was exceptional. She helped set up a tour for us when our hired guide did not show.

Historic hotel

The hotel is in a good location and has some history, but had no doubt seen better days. The bed was comfortable, although the room only offered a small, frosted window, v so I could only tell if it was day or night and one what the weather was like if I heard pouring rain. The staff are helpful and welcoming

Fort area

Located in the quieter Fort area but close enough to the tourist areas. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. AC slightly noisy and breakfast was a bit limited and rooms looking tired. Overall it was a good stay

Very cute heritage building in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. Staff is friendly and professional. The gym needs a bit of care, and the room cleanliness could be better.

It is a grand old hotel that has maintained its elegant design. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the air conditioning unit is quite old and produced a very moldy smell.

Old character property. Good communal areas. Rooms OK, but could do with a refurbishment think it might be underway). Staff friendly and helpful Quiet, safe area but close to the main sights Recommend
