Basic and convenient location

No frills waterfront location close to Taj Palace. Make sure you don't get conned by the Optometrist they have waiting in reception - we had come down to meet our local guide and thought was him only to be told by our actual guide that Hotel Staff would not let them wait in reception for us - bizarre but we had a great day tour. Laundry is super cheap
Robyn, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Part of the building is under renovation. However, this did not affect my stay at all, as I was not in the room during the day. The hotel is very conveniently located for Coloaba, Fort, Kala Goda, etc.

Excellent unless you can afford the Taj

A friendly hotel with a yesteryear feel in a great area with a very nice food, view and service frequented by locals at an reasonable price

Great location but noisy

Hotel was undergoing renovation of the elevator while we were there in January and they worked and were noisy late into the night with no acknowledgement or apology from the management. The staff were very expectant of tips and would hang around uncomfortably waiting for a tip. Had not experienced that anywhere else in India. Other than this feed back, the hotel location is good and good base to explore old Mumbai.

4/10 Fair

Great location - less than great experience.

The reception staff need service training. Pretty rude about passport / identification procedures and would have lost my FRRO document had I not insist in finding it upon leaving. Room was pretty threadbare with marginal levels of cleanliness. Not again and would definitely not recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Great service

The hotel is not in the greatest condition but the location is fantastic. A 2 minute walk to Raj Palace and Gateway of India. Beds were very comfortable, wifi was fantastic, breakfast was good and the staff were just incredible. I was a female travelling alone and they guided me so well, organising cars to take me around, wait for me to finish and take me to my next location for a very cheap price, when I wanted to convert cash, they called around to many places in order to find me the best rate. I can not thank the staff enough for the great service they provided.

8/10 Very good

Great location close to everything.

It was good. We loved our room it was very spacious.

4 nights ok

It was OK by the Colaba standards. Some renovations were taking place though with a lot of drilling sound here and there.

Tolle Lage - Indischer Standard - aber o.k .

Kenne das Hotel von frĂŒheren Aufenthalten. Preis/Leistung sehr gut. Tollste Lage in SĂŒd-Mumbai, direkt am Meer und kaum Autoverkehr. Ganz in der NĂ€he des berĂŒhmten Taj Hotels. Empfehle Abendessen auf der Terrasse des Hotels Sea Palace gleich nebenan. Ich kennen kein Hotel oder Restaurant in Mumbai, wo man im Freien direkt am Meer essen kann - und ich habe drei Jahre dort gelebt.

Ingen riktig sömn, bara vila :(

Vi var tre personer i rummet, en vuxen och tvĂ„ 15-Ă„ringar. Jag, vuxen, som fick sova pĂ„ soffan ville ha tvĂ„ lakan dĂ„ den uppfattades som SÅ smutsig, dock helt ok i komforten. SĂ€ngarna ok. Flitarna var sĂ„ motbjudande att man knappt ville ta i dem, kĂ€ndes smutsiga och orena. Gav obehagskĂ€nslor. Ingen av oss Ă€r speciellt krĂ€sen men de gick över mĂ„ttet med hĂ€stlĂ€ngder. Det var obehagligt att dörren till hotellkorridoren var lĂ€ttöppnad och verkade lĂ€ttforcerad. AC-n lĂ€t som en helfabrik och jag trodde att jag skulle fĂ„ en stöt av den vid kontakt för av och pĂ„ sĂ€ttning. Det kĂ€ndes otryggt och svĂ„rt att sova i denna otillitliga miljö dock hĂ€nde inget. Hotellet kĂ€ndes nedgĂ„nget och slitet, för mig/oss som skandinaviska turister. Personalen gullig och hjĂ€lpsam, bra i kontakten. LĂ€get var bra, fint och lugnt, vilket kan vara en stor tillgĂ„ng i Bombay.

Average Hotel but great location

This hotel is good enough but the location is very good. It is right on the water within a few minute walk of the Gateway to India. The staff was helpful. Be prepared to pay for Internet that expires after you log in one time so use it up at one time. Staff was very helpful, got me a driver for my 2 days in Mumbai.

6/10 Good

Good location in quite a peaceful part of Colaba.

Small problem with the booking, as the paperwork said the room (for just one person) would have either two single beds or a double bed, but as far as the hotel is concerned it costs extra for one person to occupy such a room, so I stayed with the allocated room, which was airy enough. Otherwise, everything was OK and it was quiet enough to sleep well at night. The staff were friendly. It's a shame they don't make more of their waterfront location, making somewhere to sit and take in the view. The taxi drivers outside will overcharge you, even using a meter, if you don't know the rates, so ask in the hotel roughly what you should pay.

SÀnky oli hyvÀ, palvelu parasta mahdollista,

Olimme hotellissa jo toista kertaa. Vaikka hotelli on nuhruinen=kaipaisi maalia, ei haittaa meitÀ. Henkilökunnan ystÀvÀllisyys on niin mahtavaa ettei ole usein kohdallemme sattunut. Ravintolan ruoka hyvÀÀ. Sama hotelli jos Mumbaihin mennÀÀn. Olemme oppineet Intiassa katsomaan paljon asioita erilailla kuin ennen. Olemme siellÀ viihtyneet vuosia.

2/10 Poor

Forget it! Much better choices around...

We had chosen this hotel for its situation... We had booked another hotel not so far for the two nights before... But we wanted to keep expenses down a little bit... Bad move! Bad rooms, really incredibly bad beds, bad reception, noisy guests in the corridors yelling half night long, musty, old,and really, really, to avoid... Pay just a little more, do a little research on internet, and go not very far, to a much better place...

4/10 Fair

dishonest hotel description?

The management should be honest and say that they charge for wire-less (overcharged actually: about 2 dollars per hour) rather than that "complimentary wireless Internet access is available in public areas." The only good thing about the hotel is the location. Otherwise, what they offer and the quality of the service do not justify the price.

Good budget hotel

Close to taj palace and gateway of India. Not fancy but ok if on a budget. Staff was friendly. Be prepared to be asked to leave your passport at front desk. I was not comfortable with this....they should at least keep passports in a safe.

PrisvÀrt med bra lÀge

Enkelt hotell vid strandpromenaden, nÀra Gateway to India. Trevlig och hjÀlpsam personal. Passar bra för budgetresenÀrer till Colaba.

chambre tres degradee

Grosse deception d`avoir eu cette chambre la. Les autres semblaient en bon etat; j`ai demande a changer, refus oubien 1000 roupies de plus. J`ai quand meme paye 90 euros pour ces 2 nuits, ce qui fait en roupies plus de 3000 par nuit, ce qui est exorbitant. Je suis toujours en Inde, je paye couramment 500, voire 800 roupies, mais pour 3000 roupies j`aurais un palace.

De ligging van het hotel is heel goed, prima buurt

De kamers lijken groot als je boekt maar zijn klein, bedompt, er kan geen raam open. Wel goeie douche. Ik zou in die buurt naar iets anders zoeken.
