Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this isn't the place – the hotel explicitly states pets are not permitted.
  • Check-in window is limited to the afternoon — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so you can't settle in before 2 PM, and you must arrive before midnight.
  • General rating trails specific categories — While rooms, service, and value score well, the overall 'General' rating is 7.4, suggesting some guests may find the overall experience slightly less polished than individual aspects.
  • Area average is modest — The hotel's rating is above the Mumbai area average of 6.7, but that baseline suggests the neighborhood isn't uniformly outstanding – expect some inconsistency in the surrounding area.
