Reviews and Ratings
During my two-week stay, the hotel had very below-average rooms that were plain, dark, and small. However, the rooms were nice and looked decent enough. The service was helpful and friendly, and attentive to my needs, but it really let the place down in some aspects. The location was just perfect, near the beach and in a prime location. Before breakfast, the dining experience offered a good wide range of items, especially for vegetarians, although it could have been better with more options.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were very good and hygienic, some noise from outside could be heard, indicating a lack of soundproofing. I did notice ongoing renovations in some areas, but overall cleanliness was great. The service was super friendly and accommodating, especially with kids. The location was convenient, just a short distance from the Promenade, although I did encounter some issues with local taxis. Dining options were limited and not very satisfying.
The hotel is in a convenient location near the waterfront, ideal for a refreshing morning walk, and close to dining options. The rooms were close to a fire exit, resulting in some noise and smell issues, but still offered views. The service was courteous and professional, with diligent staff. The dining experience was decent, with a slight waiting time in the morning for breakfast. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I was really disappointed with this hotel and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The rooms were big and comfortable, but the overall experience was not worth the money.
The hotel offers a stunning view of Mumbai's iconic Brabourne Cricket Stadium and the sea face while having all the described amenities in the room. The noise from ongoing construction made it difficult to sleep and the room was outdated and not clean. However, the staff is very friendly and the service is warm. The location is prime on Marine Drive, offering practical and central access to cafes and restaurants. The dining experience, though limited, was excellent and yummy. The facilities provided are satisfactory.
The hotel offers nice and comfortable rooms with great service. The location is excellent, close to popular attractions, and the dining experience is average. The facilities are well-maintained, making for a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is spacious and comfortable with all amenities and good food in Society and Flavour restaurants, but the rooms didn't match the pictures, and noise from the lobby was constant. The lack of a jet spray in the washroom was also a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, close to the sea and surrounded by cafes, but the rooms were below average, outdated, and noisy due to construction. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining options were limited. The hotel facilities were decent overall.
