Established formerly as a rest house for the distinguished Kerawala Family, Harbour View Hotel has witnessed the chiliad that is Mumbai. It is housed in one of Mumbai’s Art Deco heritage buildings by the famous sea side of Apollo Bunder. This family secret was then converted into a Guest House serving genteel visitors from around the world for over two decades and now it has been remodelled to echo Mumbais’ une histoire d’amour with Art Deco. The facades within and around always remind you with ebullience the chronicled past of Mumbai, whilst keeping it intimate and unpretentious. Harbour View is equipped with the latest technology like WiFi, Bay view -a 24 hour sea facing cafe, room service, airport pick up and drops and guided tours. Our team at Harbour View makes it our duty to cater to all your requirements to make for a comfortable and clean stay in the city. We would like our guests to remember Mumbai, through us and for us.

The location of the hotel is very good and convenient. The view of the room is nice. The bed is comfortable. The AC works well. The hotel is actually quite old. It looks better on the pictures than in real life. The basics are not good: curtains dusty, toilet old, sockets slow, and the worst are the towels which are horrible (looks like table cloth + does not dry you at all). Room was not super clean. The staff is helpful but the guy at the reception really was not welcoming. Taxi charge to airport is very high.

The hotel is well located but the staff are not very friendly at all. We didn’t have a good view, the sheets and room wasn’t very clean, and you could hear the people from reception all the time as there’s no noise soundproof. The photos of the hotel must be when it was built because are not the same!

The condition of the room is very poor. On arrival I notified the male on reception that the velvet bed frame and decorator furniture was heavily stained and dirty. He didn’t stand up but sent a young boy in to look - it needs replacement , what could he do but remove it? There was no action taken or further comment from the person on reception. The sheets on the bed are 2 single sheets laid horizontally so they separate while you sleep to expose the mattress protector. The mattress protector is heavily stained with brown marks whose origin I would hate to imagine. The bathroom door does not close at all for privacy- it is stuck open. The bathroom ceiling is covered in mould. The towels are threadbare to the point of having holes in them. The window blinds in the bedroom are filthy with dust and mould. The small balcony off the room looks to never have been cleaned or wiped over - very uninviting area for that reason. The reception staff did not welcome us on arrival and continued to ignore us for our entire 3 day stay. There is no care shown here either for our person or the building they are promoting. This is not a luxury boutique stay. It is dirty and if I could have afforded it I would have left 10 minutes after I arrived. The room has the potential to be lovely but it has been left to decay. We had breakfast once in the upstairs cafe. Very basic food and again little idea of expectations of service from the staff. The velvet chairs again heavily stained and very offensive. Lovely view. Good water pressure and hot water. Good wifi.…

I chose the deluxe tranquil sleep room because I knew I would be very tired during my two night stay. Don't call your rooms tranquil sleep if they have zero soundproofing and every room on the reception floor can hear noise from inside as well as outside the hotel. I got no sleep on my first night as there was something beeping in the corridor that the staff were unable to turn off. Also a leak in my ceiling which I had reported in the afternoon had got worse and was dripping noisly onto the towels they had put on the floor to soak up the water. I was moved into a different room the following day, this was right next to reception so also noisy. I don't recall the staff apologising that I had been disturbed all night by several buckets full of water dripping through my ceiling. On the plus side the rooms are well appointed, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms very nice. …

Nice boutique hotel facing the Arabian sea, i stay in Mumbai and my family stays in Delhi. wanted to stay at sea facing. The suites are a little tight in terms of area, but it is fine when you have the view. we were very comfortable. we had a toddler and another grown-up child who enjoyed the view. Bay view cafe is worth a luxury, book early for sunset watching. Room service is a little laid back but that ok for a boutique hotel. If you don't want to go to Taj go to your neighborhood Harbour View. Met the promoter a charming guy Rustom Kerawala . was worth meeting.

What a lovely find, we stayed for 1 night recently, arriving early evening so when we opened the blinds in the morning to the sun rising over the sea it was an amazing view. Yes the rooms are small, but very well appointed with a clean and spacious shower. We had dinner up on the roof top and it was the best food we'd had whilst we had been in India. The service was also great. Breakfast was a little basic but fine for what we needed. When you arrive you do think it looks a shabby hotel, but once you go up to the third floor, you find a little gem. Thank you for all of the help printing our boarding passes etc.

Positives: Staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean Rooftop bar and restaurant. Great views overlooking the harbour. Within walking distance to Gateway of India Negatives: Very noisy at night due to possible wedding functions being held at a venue across the road. Lift antiquated and tiny. Bed too hard for me! Limited choice of buffet breakfast. Dinner and lunch is a La carte. Verdict: Pleasant stay but probably wouldn't return due to the noise levels.

We stayed at this absolute gem of a hotel for 4 glorious nights, and my only regret is we didn't stay longer. We booked a sea facing room (#301) and the view was sensational. The boutique hotel occupies the 3rd level of a lovely old building and has been renovated superbly. Our room was beautifully appointed with everything we could need: plenty of storage, safe, TV, fast WiFi, tea making facilities and a luxurious bathroom. There wasn't a hairdryer, although I'm sure you could ask for one, but I opted to stand on the juliette balcony in the sunshine. Breakfast was served upstairs at their rooftop restaurant (again with cracking views). Service was a bit slow and the range on offer wasn't very expansive, but the freshly made omelettes were a good start to the day. The location of the accommodation is unsurpassable: obviously directly opposite the harbour with Gateway to India and Taj Mahal Palace Hotel a mere stone's throw away. You get front row position to view awesome sunrises each morning and you're walkable to loads of eateries and sights. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Mumbai, and I hope to get back there again one day.…

This hotel is such a hidden gem! Nestled above another - slightly less attractive hotel- this boutique is a quiet , quaint retreat situated right on the waterfront in Colaba. You could not be in a better position for seeing the sights of Mumbai from this hotel. You’re two minutes from the gateway to India & Taj Mahal palace hotel. Colaba market is a stones throw away as well as the sassoon docks. The art, food , history & cultural delights of Mumbai are literally all so close for a non stop mini break in this city! The inclusive breakfast is lovely & served in there rooftop restaurant. This turns into there bar at night which is perfect for a beer & snack overlooking the water front. Locals eat here - not just guests of the hotel ! The rooms are unbelievably quiet despite the hustle and bustle below. Cleanliness is faultless & the beds are super comfortable. All staff were very helpful and room service or requests such as replenished water were always answered immediately. Coming back to this hotel every evening was a haven after a busy day seeing the sights. My husband and I absolutely loved it. The staff will also help you with private car or Uber services to the airport if needs be. Brilliant - would love to stay here again!…

This is actually situated in a multi-purpose building with the Strand Hotel on the first two floors; a private residence on the 3rd floor and Noddy's Guest House on the roof - I expected to hear Slade playing. Our room had the promised Harbour View but you couldn't swing a cat in it, never mind open a suitcase. Good bathroom and room Service. Awful breakfast, though a reasonable omelette. Well situated for the main attractions and restaurants.
