Being an old favourite boutique hotel, I booked this for nostalgia.
Other than that, if I were to have stayed there now for the first time, I definitely would have mixed reactions.
Nothing can beat the location of this hotel. If you traveling to Bombay for pleasure, this is where one needs to stay. Great neighborhood. Best cultural experience you can have.
Other than that, the property being old, there are some basic issues. Air conditioning sure was a problem. And in Bombay summer, it's extremely uncomfortable when the AC isn't optimum.
And this being Bombay with space constraints, the bathrooms are way too small.
But overall, great place.
