7.7Verified guest“The location was excellent, close to shops, restaurants, and attractions like Victoria Terminus and the Gateway of India. However, my room was not kept clean and wasn't available without excuses.”
7.7Verified guest“Great service overall. The rooms are spacious and lovely with a balcony, tea, coffee, and carpet. Also a good location near the airport for an early departure, in a fairly quiet area.”
7.7Verified guest“Our deluxe twin was large and bright with a city view. Breakfast was good, check-in was early. The quiet location was superb, with shops and a market nearby. A local fast-food spot called Chai pe Charcha was a 10-minute walk.”
7.7Verified guest“Built in 1922, the hotel is authentically Indian and unpretentious. The room was simple but clean and comfortable. Staff were welcoming. Not particularly memorable or striking, but we'd return for convenience rather than for the wow factor.”
