As most of the Lonely Planet's picks, hotel is the most expensive in the area (most of the travelers don't bather to look elsewhere). For the extremely basic rooms (no electrical outlet in rooms-which is really rare) with the common bathrooms - which are pretty disgusting - you have to pay 850 Rs. Go for a short walk and close...

This was the first place I stayed in in India so I had done my research beforehand and it payed off. In comparison to all the other travellers I met in the city I was paying the least amount and yet was getting better service and accommodation than all of them! Sure, the rooms are basic, but clean, the bathrooms... More

The best budget guest house i have found after traveling to Mumbai for over the years. The rooms are clean and slightly charming. Shared bathrooms but its an old building and they are fine for the money. The location is fantastic and very hidden away...a great escape when you need to chill out for a while. The hotel manager, Michael... More

The hotel is located in the very centre of the touristic area, between Colaba and Fort, easy to walk everywhere. Rooms are fine and clean, the only surprise was that there were no plugs in the room so the electronics had to be charged in the office of the manager. The shared bathrooms could be cleaner, but were fine. The... More

Hotel Lawrence is probably the cheapest place to stay if travelling on a budget where the rooms are still clean and safe with good washing facilities. It is centrally located and within walking distance of most major attractions; Gateway of India, Taj Mahal Hotel. The manager was very helpful allowing us to leave our bags in his office both before... More

We stayed at Hotel Lawrence for one night and it was perfect. The location is amazing, right next to all the major sites and shopping areas. The rooms was large with a nice window and shared bathrooms were clean. The owner let us leave our luggage in his office until our evening train. Highly recommended if you want a cheap... More

Hotel Lawrence is a good place to stay in the Colaba area. In Mumbai, hotels are usually very expensive, so it is nice to find a place with reasonable rates. It is not a flash place by any means - it's basic by anyone's definition of the word. However, it is very clean, and nicely painted inside, with very clean... More

We moved from another guesthouse to Lawrence after a couple of days in Mumbai.The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable with attractive furnishings including a table and chairs to enjoy the small provided breakfast. Two rooms we used both had 2 good sized windows. There is a small lounge outside reception with up to date magazines (such as Time Out... More

Hotel Lawrence was by far the most expensive place we stayed in India (700 R for a double with shared bathroom) but Mumbai is probably the most expensive place in India so I think it was pretty good value for Mumbai. The room was very clean and quite large and the shared bathrooms were adequate. I don't remember it being... More
