The hotel is ideally located at the heart of Colaba in South Mumbai, offering easy access to famous joints like Cafe Leopold, Cafe Mondegar, and more. The rooms, although small for a triple occupancy, were upgraded to a suite with a noisy street view. The dining choices were limited but proximity to various eateries compensates. The service was commendable, with staff going the extra mile to assist with business needs.

The hotel has some physical imperfections but staying here means a good deal due to its great location. The rooms are old-fashioned and lack charm, with limited options for non-spicy food in the morning. The service is decent but could be more polite. The location is excellent, near major attractions. The dining experience needs real improvement, but there is potential for authentic Italian pizza.
