Every single detail was very well taken care of! The staffs were all very friendly n helpful. The one thing that surprised n shocked me was in fact the thought of providing a mobile phone n number for the visitor which was quite helpful. I also loved the way there were handwritten good night notes with flowers every night of my stay. Well done team, keep up the good work!

    I have stayed there three years ago, and still the staff recognized me and told me they were happy to see me. They had upgraded quite a lot, and even if everything is sort of snug, it's a lovely boutique hotel, well situated. Lots of nice shops and restaurants in neighborhood, and Kolana is just a five minutes taxi away. I give them 5 star.

    I really loved the atmosphere: very cozy and quiet, perfect to have some rest from the chaotic and vibrant life in Mumbai. The staff is very kind and professional, willing to help you in any occasion. I loved the room, very peculiar and with a very good taste in interior design. If I have to describe the experience with one word, would be "lovely"!

    Lovely little boutique hotel in a pleasant area of Mumbai . It's a rather small property with narrow stairs/ corridors and small lift. So, those who are used to staying in chain, branded hotels and prefer those, then it's not for you. This hotel is for those who wish to experience something classy, artistic and unique. Although, it's small, it's rooms are large and the interior decor / furniture is unique and outstanding. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

    A luxury boutique hotel with a fab Colaba location and snug rooms - what's not to like? We booked the Superior Luxury room, which had double-height windows, plenty of natural light, vintage furniture, original artwork, and gorgeous blue-and-white art deco tile flooring. Plus a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in rain shower. Breakfast is included and is served in the tastefully done up lobby that features an original 19th-century chandelier.
