“DIRTY”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We stayed here for 2 nights. This is the oldest and dirtiest hotel I have ever been in. The toilet seat was broken. The bathroom didn't look like it had been cleaned in a very long time. For hot water, apparently you have to turn on a switch which we were never informed of. The phone doesn't connect you to the reception.

Further the air conditioning system is very loud and the beds are uncomfortable. The decor looked like it was from the 1960s.

The hotel staff was extremely unprofessional. I witnessed them accuse a guest of stealing an iron even though the guest had never ordered one to her room. She even opened her suitcase. It appeared the staff was incompetent and unaware of how to run a hotel.

“Awful hotel...to be avoided by all means!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

I along with a colleague had stayed overnight on a business trip on December 23-24, 2011 at Hotel Ajanta on Juhu Tara Road, Mumbai. The hotel is well located…quite close to the famed Juhu beach of Mumbai and that's sadly its only merit.

The entrance was on the main road itself, it lead to a long corridor, which brought me to a shady, dimly lit reception area. I was allotted supposedly a suite, the Tulip room (# 405; tariff: Rs.6000/- net on special corporate discount basis) on the fourth floor…the room was biggish but the amenities were awful. The bed-sheets & pillow covers were stained, the towels were stringy on overuse and the blanket was frayed at the ends as it was quite old. The toilet floor and the wash basin counter had dirty stains. There was no tea/ coffee making facility in the room and surprisingly not even a bottle of mineral water by courtesy from the hotel!

After the business meeting we returned to the hotel late evening expecting to catch a good nap as we were to rush to the airport in the early morning next day. At about 1.15 AM, all hell suddenly broke loose in our floor…jolted from the sleep I initially thought there was a police raid, which is common in cheap Mumbai hotels doubling as brothels as I heard great commotion with many men & women shouting at the top of their voices. As I looked through the door's magic eye, I found a large group of college students creating a raucous having arrived at the hotel in the ungodly hours. They ran around the corridor, played music with ear splitting volume, slammed the doors shut many times and even kicked on my door thinking the room to belong to their group members…there was no one from the hotel to caution them about other boarders staying in the same floor!!! The racket continued till about 3 AM. This was the most terrible experience in a hotel I have ever stayed. Hotel Ajanta should be avoided at any cost!!!

“A BUDGET HOTEL WITH GOOD FACILITIES”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Eventhough not a very fantastic property, its tariff is affordable.The rooms are quite spacious with kingsize beds and all room-facilities are good,like hotwater,A/C,wardrobes,showers etc.However, the frontage of the Hotel is minimalistic and not very prominent.This may be due to lack of much space at the entrance of the Hotel.
Room service is excellent.Food at the restaurant is in fact very delicious,especially the Indian and continental food.The Buffet breakfast and dinner come alongwith the Room tariff as a package.

Added to this, the Juhu beach is just a stone's throw away from the Hotel where one can take an evening stroll.

I recommend this property for the middle and senior executives who descend on the city for business tours.

Room Tip: Take rooms at the higher floors.

“Good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

The hotel has not too much comfort and the showers are indian, but we got hot water and newspaper every morning. TV, a/c all fine. The windows were not really good, noise and water droping in... not bad but just to let you know (it was monsoon I know, but still, the building is an older one).
You are in the heart of Mumbai, Churchgate Station just a few steps away, that make it worth the price and the breakfast buffet was indian-european mixed, quite good to start a day.
Service was good, taxi catch up available makes it easy when you arrive in the night.
