“Best location in Bombay, nice boutique feel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I stayed here for 1N during a quick business trip. The only reason I stayed here was that this was close to my meeting location and I didn't want to travel in rush hour. I was really happy to have made this choice. Located in the back alleys of the Colaba causeway area, nothing can beat the location.
Walking distance to Leopold, Gateway of India, Bade Mian, Taj Mahal Hotel, and many such Bombay landmarks is a definite advantage of the hotel. The hotel is also known for its great Chinese dining place called 'All Stir Fry' and is home to a happening nightspot called 'polly esthers'
The service isn't all that great, but it is more than compensated for by the quirky rooms. Each floor has a theme that the rooms adhere to. I stayed on the Mediterranean floor and the room was nicely done. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom area was pretty cramped. The check in also happens on the lobby on the 2nd floor. When I stayed here, the exterior was undergoing renovation, but it didn't impact my stay as the workers were not present at the night-time.
Would definitely like to stay here as compared to Juhu, where I usually stay

Room Tip: Grab some breakfast at Leoplod and some Lebanese/iranian dinner at Picadilly

“comfortable, clean and cosy hotel - makes you feel at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We stayed 7 days at the hotel. The room was always clean and tidy and well kept. The service was always attended immediately. Good restaurant and various possibilities to choose your kind of food including good breakfast. Located well close to historical points and views. We would recommend for those who search for cosy home feeling. Noisy on Fridays and Saturday being close to Nightclub.

Room Tip: big and comfortable rooms bur noisy a/c

“Modern look but poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel for a night during a business visit to Mumbai. The hotel has a very modern European look and the rooms are spacious and perfect for a business traveler.

The service left a lot to be desired. I was given keys to a room occupied by someone else twice. I had insisted on a non-smoking room and the staff for some reason was checking me into non-smoking rooms that had other guest's luggage lying in the rooms. I was pretty angry and the manager called me up and apologized but the experience was a big let down.

“Ruined by the noise”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012
1

WHY would you put a nightclub in a hotel? Why, why why? People come to a hotel to sleep!

This place has gorgeous rooms and facilities. They have thought of every detail. Very soft sheets and towels, comfortable beds. (One other complaint: the air conditioning in my room sounded like a jet engine; it was impossible to sleep without it because the room is small and stuffy with no fan -- but then it was impossible to sleep anyway, because of the bumping nightclub music. For Pete's sake!)

Hot water, nice shower, good complementary breakfast, fast complementary wifi. Great 24-hour room service menu. Fast laundry service, a very helpful and attentive staff.

Seriously guys, you would have a wonderful place if you'd just close the nightclub and put fans in the rooms/install quieter air conditioning. But the way it is now, I wouldn't come back. I'm looking for a good night's sleep.

Room Tip: 2nd floor rooms are close to the front desk and you can hear the phone ringing, people checking in...

We were very happy to arrive at this lovely hotel at 3am after two hour delays at Immigration and our first experience of India. The rooms were nicely decorated, very clean and well equipped. The location is so close to local sites. Breakfast was great too. Would recommend.
