Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of South Bombay, allowing easy exploration of the Colaba area of Mumbai. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though occasionally have a musty smell. The service is extremely friendly and efficient, even assisting with guiding Uber drivers amidst construction. The dining experience offers a wide variety of choices. However, the adjacent construction project for the Metro railway can be noisy at times.
The hotel room was not as described and had a horrible stale cigarette smell, feeling like a dungeon. However, it was somewhat comfortable, though I haven't stayed in a worse room in a while.
The hotel offers surprisingly cozy rooms in need of upgrading, but they provide ample space. Service is exceptionally warm, with well-trained staff delivering top-notch assistance. The location is unbeatable, especially for enjoying the sunset over the Arabian Sea. The dining options are good overall, although some areas need improvement.
The hotel offers very nice and tidy rooms, but they are not big enough. Although there was a bit of a musty smell due to construction, the cleanliness was noticeable. The service was exceptional, especially arranging a box meal for our journey and explaining the dish origins. The location is fantastic and made our holiday memorable, despite being a bit away from the city center. The dining options were ample, and the in-room dining was amazing with many choices. The facilities were modern and convenient.
The hotel had small rooms with a walk-in shower finished in granite but was at standard check-in time. The service was very friendly overall, except for the porters at the valet parking who were a bit rude to our driver. The location was in the heart of South Bombay, convenient for moving around in South Mumbai, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation options. The dining experience at Tattoria and The Konkan Café was exceptional, especially highlighted by the smiling and helpful staff. The overall experience was good, with some minor issues with fish stench in the air and limited accommodations for all guests.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with all amenities and WiFi, though they felt smaller than expected for a 5-star property. The cleanliness was impressive. The dining experience was okay, meeting 5-star standards, with particular praise for Ms. Rima. Facilities were sufficient, though not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delights and disappointments. The rooms had amazing views, were incredibly clean, spacious, comfortable, and cosy, but unfortunately had a persistent bad smell. The service was impeccable with a greeting smile and courteous staff that made me feel special, although they seemed more focused on relaying tables than attending to guests' needs. The location was a good compromise, walkable to some places, but not the best due to the closed pedestrian paths from metro construction. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of tasty options but got congested quickly. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel offers a city view and amenities like breakfast were excluded after room selection. The shower leaked, leading to a flooded bathroom, unclean floors, and itchy sheets. However, the staff is incredibly friendly, going the extra mile to assist guests in various ways.
The hotel is in a convenient spot, close to nearby attractions and with pleasant surroundings. The rooms, while cozy, have a dated feel with crowded drapery. The service, especially from the front desk staff, is efficient but not overly friendly.
