I have nothing but good things to say about the Red Shield Guest House. I've stayed there both times I've been to India. Staff in the reception is extremely friendly and helpful. Basic breakfast was included in the price, which is really cheap. I've stayed in the dorm both times and never been bitten by bedbugs. Ok, the toilet in... More

I know nice budget places are hard to come by, but only stay here if you hate yourself. We splurged for a double room, it was horrifically hot (the fan made no difference and it was cooler as soon as you stepped outside), windows wide open, mosquitos everywhere and no running water in the bathroom. We ended up sleeping in... More

Disgusting - bed bugs left me with red sores all over my back, staff were rude, there was a massive rat in the dining area, we weren't given sheets, the room was dirty and poorly ventilated, damp covered the walls. Expensive too.

As good a location as anywhere in Coloba. Price aside, we gave up asking for clean sheets (dirty on arrival) and we payed for our friends bed whilst he was out as they threatened to throw his stuff out of the room - yet he'd already payed. The reception were a lot more evasive when it came to giving the... More

This place was awful! We'd travelled for 3 months round India and this has to be the worst place we stayed. Luckily we were pretty hardened by the time we ended up here and walking into a room full of baby cockroaches swarming the chest of drawers wasn't too intimidating. We asked the staff to change the dirty messed up... More

I was due to stay here on my lone trip to India this month and to be honest it was an absolute disgrace to The Salvation Army! Most people look at this and think they will feel safe and it will be safe because of it being part of the Salvation Army but it is completely the opposite. I had... More

We booked for this guest house three months prior to arriving, emailed them three times to reconfirm our booking, called them a few days before to reconfirm, then on our day of arrival in Mumbai fresh off the plane we called to say we were on our way and they said they had given our room to someone else. They... More
