Most VTer's I've met have stayed here!!! and other Mumbai, India Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I have not personally stayed here but most VTer's who I've met in Mumbai have stayed here!!! So it must be a nice place!!! I have seen the rooms and the place is quite good for the price and the surroundings as well as the location in the heart of the CBD (Central Business District) of Mumbai at Fort with all the major attractions also very close by. The CST (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus) Railway Terminus and Churchgate railway station are also within walking distance from the hotel!!!

Unique Qualities: Single Rooms from Rs1400 to Rs1500 and Double Rooms from Rs1500 to Rs1650 plus tax of 10%. Extra person in room at Rs120 plus 10% tax. All rooms are airconditioned. Tea & coffee machine and a small safe in all rooms. Breakfast not included but can be ordered for about Rs75 and lunch or dinner for about Rs150. Free internet facilities for checking your email or Rs30 for 30 minutes of surfing!!!
