Colaba Hotels

The welcome and service was the best I have ever experienced. The facilities were also excellent. Extras were fairly expensive, as you might expect.

It's conveniently located in south Bombay, about 10/15 minutes away from Nariman Point and Churchgate by cab. Very comfy and quiet rooms, great service! I would def recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Mumbai.

We chose the hotel based on reviews that emphasized its cleanliness, and were not disappointed. It was spotless and the rooms were cleaned daily. The staff were great and did not have their hands out for tips all the time. The concierge, Matthew, was excellent in everything from booking tours for us, to recommending places to eat. The breakfast was wonderful, and the restaurant (which many locals used) had excellent suppers and lunches as well. And you couldn't beat the location - just 2 short blocks from the Gateway to India. Previous reviewers complained about the noise of the nightclub, but it is no longer there, so the room was quiet. The room was charming, although not large (room sizes vary - friends had a larger one).

I stayed at the Fariyas Mumbai for 2 days alongwith my wife and 2 year old daughter. The best thing about the hotel is the staff. I have stayed at various hotels accross the world, but would rate the staff in this hotel as world class. The ambience of the hotel is old world and is very nice. Though the rooms are a bit tired, it is very well compensated by the spirit of the hotel. Another good thing, is that it is in Colaba (Hub of Mumbai) and still far away from the maddening crowd. The view from the room was amazing. We could see the ships pass by. The Food was Excellent and the team went out of the way to help us wiht our small small requests. My daugther loved the breakfast spread at the hotel. Thank You for the wonderful vacation.

For the rate paid I got a very comfortable and clean room with a friendly staff and cuisine I really enjoyed. For me the location was perfect - right at the corner of the street in Colaba I wanted to be at - close to the water and where everyone is walking the streets late into the night

This hotel was a pleasent surprise. Very well situated, friendly staff who went out of their way to help us and the rooftop bar/resteraunt was magical after sunset. Our room on the 4th floor was comfortable with much needed AC. Remember to explore both left and right along the waterfront as you walk out the door for some interesting sites.

Good hotel to stay. I felt the price is little bit expensive. All the staff r excellent.

The hotel is at a fine location, the quality is so/so, but otherwise reasonable. I would recommend but the staff makes it extremely difficult to have some peace of mind. Particularly after having to deal with the amount of scammers, beggars and noise outside, an amount of peace is an absolute minimum for a mid/range to budget style hotel. Upon entrance, we're given a tour through the tiny (but decent) room - offered assistance with unpacking (refused), but gave a rather large tip despite. He pouts, which turns out to be the beginning of a horrible relationship. Breakfasts are complimentary, but there's no area, so they are offered as roomservice. It is, however, tiny, takes about half an hour, and stone cold. First morning, I overtip, and he pouts, but goes away. Second morning, I overtip less, but give the value of about half the breakfast - which, would otherwise have been free - and he bluntly tells me "not enough". I disagree and nervously explain the breakfast should be free anyway. That evening, he suggests I will give an extortionate amount in the morning. Why? No, I check out tomorrow, I tell him - and indeed don't even consider asking for the free breakfast the next morning. After checking out, he insists on standing with us in the one person lift, tells me that he will never forget me, such wonderful generous people, with a certain buttery delivery. But then, after I refuse tipping, he follows us down the street! I say goodbye and suggest to perhaps clean the room sometimes.

Great location close to everything. Very friendly and helpful staff. The TV is programmed to receive only Arabic language channels. I can't speak Arabic so couldn't watch TV. But that's ok because there are so many ways to enjoy Mumbai; no point sitting inside and watching TV.

This hotel is good enough but the location is very good. It is right on the water within a few minute walk of the Gateway to India. The staff was helpful. Be prepared to pay for Internet that expires after you log in one time so use it up at one time. Staff was very helpful, got me a driver for my 2 days in Mumbai.
