I stayed here for over a month on a long business trip so I think I can provide a comprehensive and objective review. I’ve seen some previous pretty negative reviews which do not resonate at all with my experience. So first of all is it’s close proximity to BOM airport, just 5 minutes. The hotel will provide shuttle pick-up or if you prefer just hop on an auto Ric for less than Rs100. So the hotel is situated on a relatively quiet back street next to a school and residential buildings. If you’re lucky you’ll get a room at the rear on 6th or 7th floor overlooking an undeveloped expansive green area with palm trees looking toward the BOM terminal in the distance, what’s great is to sit and watch the birds, form the crows to the numerous kits gliding on the air currents to the noisy parrots at different times of the day. As a westerner If you want to experience India and not stay in a colony with a majority of other westerners then this place is ideal, 99. % of clientele are Indian, I think i saw just 2 other Europeans in a month. The hotel provides great value for the service and costs just 25% of the major international hotels in the airport catchment area, ok it doesn’t have a pool so if that is one of your requirements look elsewhere. Food is good and great value, with a few western dishes available. The have no alcohol license because next door is a school so according to Indian law they can’t , however there is a work around. Each room has a nice cold fridge and either the hotel can arrange delivery via room service or you go out for a stroll to one of the local liquor stores and stock up on a few bottles for the fridge for when you get back from work. The staff were all helpful and polite, In particular I’d like to mention Parmesh Pillay, he’ll sort out your airport pickup, tours, alcohol delivery and he was so kind that when he heard I’d had a stomach upset he purchased a bottle of fruit syrup you mix with water to help settle. Another guy to note is Ranjit who is one of the restaurant waiters, really helpful and friendly, we watched many IPL games on the big screen over dinner, admittedly he could improve his English a little but he tries hard and it’s part of his charm. Oh and I forgot to mention pretty decent WiFi connectivity
