Bombay Hotels

Grand Hyatt Mumbai

Advantages: Facilities, Cleanliness, Excellent Staff, Great food
Disadvantages: Extremely expensive for India's prices, Very Slow Broadband

I stayed in the Grand Hyatt for 12 wks. I must admit when I landed in Mumbai I was surprised of how close this hotel is to the airport...15mins. There is 2 Hyatts in Mumbai, one is called the Grand Hyatt, the other just the Hyatt. Ok first of all when I seen the outside of this Hotel I was well impressed, although I was a little worried about the security..first of all when we drove in the underneath of the car was checked...then as we drove to the ...
...65 R's - in the Hyatt a bottle of Fosters was 450R's...!!!! Massive price to pay in India..also I had a chat with one of the guys there who told me he gets 8000R's a month for his wages....60hrs a week..when my company was paying 25,000R's per night to stay there....(Around £250.00 per night) Typical Prices in the Hyatt for eating dinner, drinks etc..

Review of Hyatt Regency Hotel Mumbai

The Taj Mumbai (completely rewritten)

Advantages: One of the world's most famous hotels
Disadvantages: Pay the extra for the heritage rooms - the tower is poor

...Ciao, I wrote about the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers and to this day it remains my worst rated review of all time. Like many newbies I hadn't a clue what I was doing and the ratings reflected that. I have left most of my dreadful newbie reviews unchanged - to remind me that we all have to learn - but after the recent events in Mumbai, I can't leave this one unaltered any more. So please, ignore the existing ratings and give it a read. Introduction ...
...Mumbai at the Oberoi and Taj hotels. I have clear pictures in my mind of every part of the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers because I stayed there twice almost four years ago. When an eyewitness talks about being in the restaurant, I know where he means. When another tells of taking a lift to the lobby and finding armed men shooting, I know the layout and can imagine the scene looking out from the lift. In terms of being able to guide people considering ...

Review of Taj Mahal Hotel, Bombay

Economical Indian Alternative

Advantages: Good hospitalty, Very Cleanly
Disadvantages: Lack Variety Drastically

Hi, I was on business trip in Asia and the last place I would inhabit before getting back to the good old UK was Mumbai, now I had been through a hectic journey across China and Japan, and I wanted to make my last stay memorable at least significantly. I decided to try out this well reputed Indian 5 star recommended by a friend, now my previous experience in Mumbai was pretty good staying at hotels like The Taj, Oberois and Marriot (the best in India) ...
...wasn’t disappointed. After checking in I immediately stopped at a restaurant in the hotel called Society, continental cuisine, and was delighted with the food, the Spaghetti Flamboyè was just awesome and so was the garlic bread and the wine. I really had low expectations because compared to Oberoi (30 stories) and Taj (same) this was quite little structurally. I ate like a glutton and had spaghetti (awesome cheese), garlic bread, and a couple of ...

Review of Ambassador Hotel Mumbai - SRS Hotel

GREAT HOTEL

Advantages: Close to beach and great rooms
Disadvantages: none

This hotel is simply superb and is good value for money. I have stayed there a number of times since 2004 and the place oozes charm. There is a lovely bar there with very cozy arm chairs and attentive staff .Drinks and cocktails are well presented in very nice glassware and very generous serves especially the spirits which my husband appreciated and were also nice and cold which is quite often not the case in India .Crisps and other little nibbles ...
...Service is spot on and the prices are competive. Our room was sea facing double on both occassions, and very reasonable priced for a 4 star hotel. The amenties in the room were of a high standard, nice curtains and lovely crisp linen on the bed The room was tastfully decorated with a comfortable large size double bed. The service and cleanliness was above standard and nothing seemed to much trouble. The restaurant had a good selection of food and ...

Review of Ramada Palm Grove, Bombay

Nice bathroom, sorry about the basin...

Advantages: Nicely designed rooms and bath rooms, stylish, comfortable
Disadvantages: Careless Housekeeping

...saw a chap holding a Hyatt sign in the arrivals area. He had a list of people booked in that day, my name was on the list, so he was ready to take me to the hotel. I was ready not to argue. I was disappointed that I had to leave the gorgeous airline rep behind, though. As the taxi pulled into the hotel, though, he handed me a slip of paper to sign. Oh. I checked to make sure it didn't say anything like "I promise to give you a Ferrari" or "IOU A ...
...if blank, so I signed it, making a mental note to keep an extra eye on my firstborn, not having either of the other two. LOBBY AND RECEPTION My first impression arriving was that the lobby was dark; had they forgotten to turn the lights on? Had they run out of five rupee coins for the meter? Then I realised that it was deliberate! The lobby was grey marble walls, with some large, round, grey columns, interspersed with lots of layered glass walls ...
