Disadvantages: Pollution, noise, touts, and the initial culture shock

Mumbai is the second-largest city in India, and my goodness you notice it. There are people literally wherever you go, and I would guess that the phrase 'peace and quiet' is more one for idle dreams than common colloquialisms. You'll find that you have ... Read review

A very well written review which again provides your personal insight. Wish you could have written a little more - another two or three paragraphs in the same style capturing one or two more angles of your impressions and I would possibly have given an E - if you should ever by inclinded to review and expand this review and/or add some pictures I would be delighted if you would tell me so I can re-rate. Grreat stuff though as it stands and I hope for more of your Indian impressions in time - it is an amazing country to travel in. by andrewfleminguk

I've never landed at Mumbai airport, but I have taken off from there. Despite (or perhaps thanks to) there being a strike of airport staff on at the time, it was a trouble-free experience. Welcome to Ciao. Duncan by torr

Shame i didn't visit it when i was in Bombay. I did visit the Gateway of India, which is absolutely beautiful. I also was lucky enough to visit the Ajanta and Ellora caves which are mind blowingly amazing, one of the most incredible things i have ever seen....i found them way more impressive than the Taj Mahal, but i guess not really comparable ;-) Great review, really enjoyed it... i hope you write other India ones...it would be a real pleasure to read. by bodsquidge

You can add new information to your review at any time by clicking the edit feature on the right hand side of the page. If you do this just let everyone that has rated the review know so they can pop back and re-read the review and hopefully re-rate or leave some advice. Fionaxx by COOOEEE

Hi, sorry for my rating, but there's missing a lot. First a warm welcome in here, second what's missing ? Well, a few words, what the Taj Mahal is, won't be wrong, but especially I can't find that much on the hotel: prices, number of rooms, prices for food, quality of the meals, tidiness of rooms and the rest, view from the rooms, service quality, furniture, TV in the rooms, etc. ? So it can't be a better rating, I also don't know much about the Tiger Club and You don't give the informations either, please edit this one and let me know, to check it again, best regards, Sven (Zoobremia) by zoobremia
