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 room I stayed in was quite basic and small, especially for a triple occupancy. Despite booking a Deluxe category room, the condition was below expectations for the price paid.

The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, particularly with business-related requests. However, they seemed lacking in knowledge for preparing certain dishes like Poori Bhaji.

The location couldn't be better, being in the heart of Colaba near iconic spots like The Gateway of India and within walking distance to many significant landmarks. It's a bustling area with both tourist attractions and local eateries.

The hotel's location is excellent, close to Marine Drive and major attractions like the Gateway of India and Taj Palace Hotel. However, the room cleanliness and noise level were disappointing. Despite this, the staff was very knowledgeable about the area and willing to assist with our 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.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms definitely need a real upgrade, paint, and modernization. My view was disappointing, facing a wall instead of the promised city view.

The hotel needs a significant upgrade as the rooms were poor, does not meet traveler's expectations, and had damp sheets and pillowcases. The service was friendly and accommodating but constantly insisted on advance payment. The location was nice, adjacent to the Gateway of India and Taj Palace Hotel. The dining options were average, lacking quality, and variety. The facilities need improvement and the stay was overpriced.
