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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tim, Wiltshire, UK

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

Watch the staff!
Watch room service. Ordered towels and TP at same time. They bring TP so gave them a tip. 5 seconds later they knock again with towels and expect another tip. A $48 room was less than expected - not good value. When booking trips, its cheaper to go into the street, Plenty of taxis will give you a better rate b/c hotel marks up rate as an added middleman.

Very poor experience
I was given a room which in no way matched the description on hotels.com booking. The room had a large window which I could not close. No bath, fridge etc all of which were specified on the booking. The bed also had hard cushions Instead of pillows. The location is good but it is a shame that the management do not feel they need to offer their customers what they advertise. Very poor.

Unhelpful reception
Admittedly, I arrived very early in the morning (4:30am) after a very long train journey. But to be told without any grace or apology that I couldn't check in until 8:00am, but I could sit and read in reception for three hours, was very unhelpful. I was eventually offered a cup of tea, but had to find the bathroom myself. Then I discovered that, despite the room being offered as city or sea view I would have to pay a 20% surcharge for a sea-view room. Both room options had been vacant! Not a happy day!
