Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated near the busy Crawford Market, making it ideal for shopping enthusiasts. The location is vibrant, but the room quality needs improvement, as my stay in the Double DeLuxe room was disrupted by insects like scorpions. Service was lacking, with staff displaying rudeness and unhelpfulness. The dining options were subpar, offering low-quality choices. However, the surrounding market streets and convenience of nearby transportation add value to the location.
I was drawn in by the great location of the hotel, near the CST railway station and with plenty of cabs outside. The rooms, though spacious for just one person, were not worth the high cost. On the bright side, the room offered AC, windows, TV with great reception, and hot water which was a steal for Mumbai.
The hotel provided a mixed experience with rooms that were not ideal due to various issues but had some positive aspects. The service was inconsistent, and while the location was convenient, there were notable drawbacks. The dining options were a hit and miss, while the facilities had their ups and downs.
