About

The location puts you within easy reach of the city's historic landmarks, including the Mulji Jetha Fountain Memorial just 0.8 km away, and places you steps from the station's transport links.
The hotel keeps things simple: air-conditioned rooms with essential amenities, a restaurant serving continental breakfast and other meals, and a team that guests repeatedly describe as attentive and helpful. It's a practical choice for travellers who prioritise location and value over extra frills.

In brief
What works, what to weigh

Strengths
3 reasons to book- Exceptional location opposite CST — The hotel sits directly across from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, making it effortless to catch trains, buses, or explore South Mumbai's attractions on foot.
- Friendly and attentive staff — Guests consistently praise the staff for being helpful, accommodating (early check-in), and knowledgeable about local needs like vegetarian dining.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be small and basic — Some guests describe the rooms as tiny or standard, with older amenities like old-style TVs and noisy air conditioners. Not for those expecting modern luxury.
- Mixed bathroom arrangements — While some rooms have private bathrooms, others may have shared facilities. Check your room type before booking if that matters to you.
- No parking or pet policy — The hotel does not list parking, and pets are not allowed. If you're driving or travelling with an animal, this may not be the right fit.
