Do not recommend
For how much this place costs, I was utterly disappointed. The bathroom smelled like urine, was old, not updated and the shower cold faucet was broken. The room itself was okay but every part of this hotel except the lobby needed updates. The breakfast buffet was also gross- the food looked old and stale. I would never stay here again. The surrounding area also smelled of sewage and feces so going for a walk was not enjoyable.

We were initially given a room on the top floor that had a side access door .. although it was locked I didn't feel good about it and asked for a change in room. The window pane of that room was also cracked.. They then put me to a different room one level down but it was not a non-smoking room but I could live with that than stay in a room that had side access door. The place was safe, we were screened by security staff everytime we entered the hotel which was good.

They really need to replenish new towels and provide basic amenities in the washrooms. The towels provided were threadbare and instead of being white, they were stained and clearly had outlasted their usage. Toilet paper was in short supply and had to be requested on several occasions. Our second stay - the bathroom smelled awfully stale Housekeeping was a struggle to contend with Phone service locally was a disaster - could not access a local call and was informed that I would receive a call back - no one called

Hotel Marine Plaza is such a little gem. This was my second time staying here, as a gift to myself. I love the tranquil relaxing sea view and the pretty art deco design of the interiors, including the incredible glass elevators. Breakfast is always impeccable, with views of the bay. Priyal was a great server who was kind enough to prepare hot water with honey for me when I told him that I had a cold. This is going above and beyond! The only thing that's missing compared to the last time I stayed there was the daily newspaper and 4pm snacks that used to be delivered to the room. I wish they would bring those back.

Location was very good. Breakfast varieties mostly for Indians so they should consider the International customers as well. There was no fresh fruit juice, I am paying 170 Usd per night for canned juice? Also my main issue was the bed they have provided. I booked a single room but they gave me a single bed, why can't get a King size bed? 170 Usd for small bed, this is terrible, who likes to sleep in a single bed?

Great Location... An Excellent Hotel
Mumbai as a city does not allow you to build Hotel loyalties. One is always guided by where your work is. If your work is in south Mumbai, then this hotel is a great place to be. Its value for money, the staff is helpful, the rooms are large, the food is well-done. The most noteworthy is the location... facing the Arabian sea, one can enjoy late evening/ morning walks on the marine drive... very few hotels in Mumbai can give this experience. Overall, a wonderful experience. One Hotel to go back to...
