In brief

+

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, which could be a hassle if you plan to drive in Mumbai’s dense traffic.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 15:00, so early arrivals will need to wait or store luggage.
  • No pets allowed — If you’re traveling with an animal, this isn’t the place – the pet policy is a firm no.
  • Coverage of ratings is uneven — While some categories are strong (Staff 8.3, cat8 8.9), general scores like Rooms and Service sit at 7.4, and the overall rating is 7.4 – solid but not exceptional.

“Really good short stay – every member of staff was helpful and attentive, sorting out my issues quickly. The room felt brand-new, the bathroom was large with a good shower, and I slept well. Location was central, a few minutes’ walk from a palace and a temple, and the hotel sat on a quiet side street.”
