Hotel New Bengal

Old building dirty and no good breakfast option no network inside rooms and even no exhaust or ventilation in room. Rooms gallery and entry as well as stairs are not maintained and remain unhygienic dirty. Service quality are poor. And inside rooms the furnitures other goods n bathrooms are not even basic quality. Felt like online bookings are not reliable anymore

Are stay was amazing and we will be back

Funky room , wrak internet ....

Before I start I must mention that I stayed in this same hotel 10 years back. That was too from recommendation from one of my family member who was a regular visitor here. Back in 2008, when I stayed I was very much pleased with the room and service. To add to that, the location is amazing. You are in the heart of the city, close to CST and fort area. So when in 2018 I again planned to come to Mumbai for a short trip, I didnt have to look for hotels. I knew where I am going to stay. But this time I got disappointed with the hotel. The rooms do not seem to get maintained properly. I was given a room with broken chair and bathroom door knob. But still there are things to praise for. They are very particular about your address proof for safety reasons. I had to show my marriage certificate to prove that mg companion is my spose. One more thing is included breakfast. So overall, this is in a nice location but if I come again, I will stay somwhere else. You can still book your room here if you want to take advantage of the location but dont expect the rooms to look what you see in their website.

Cleanliness of room and bathrooms is very good. Great location near Crawford market. Also very close to the VT train station (now CSTM). Standard room I stayed in is quite small, just the bed and a few extra feet of space, but I was travelling alone for business so that was all I needed.

Terrible. Reception staff were unfriendly. The room was dirty. We booked two single beds but were forced into a double bed (as no room as two single beds). This was not worth the price payed. Avoid at all costs.

We arrived at the hotel NEW BENGAL in Mumbai at 13 Jan 2017. I booked 3 rooms for 2 nights from 13 Jan until 15 Jan.

But at the reception staff immediately told to me that they can give us the rooms only for one night, even though we paid for two nights. To my question "why ?" they said, that I made a reservation via Expedia, paid to Expedia, so I must call and ask to Expedia. And hotel is full booked for second night. I said that Expedia payd to hotel for two nights, but they told to me, that they not received any money.

As a result, in the morning 14 Jan we were evicted, but were allowed to leave the luggage until the evening because in the evening can be vacant rooms. It was free. In the evening we were offered the cheapest rooms. This rooms were not the ones for which we paid, and the cheapest (I have photo). It was also asked to pay for the towels because in these rooms we must pay for the towels. When I said that I payd for the more expensive rooms, we were given towels free.

I paid lot money online booking and room was different on website but when checked in, i was been allocated to very different room at dark corner. Bed sheet was not clean at all. Pillows so dirty.
Will not suggest to any one for this hotel.

The Hotel New Bengal looks quite nice in photographs and even not too disastrous from the exterior. The foyer is well kept and there is a functioning lift and the rooms are air conditioned. It is a far stretch from living on the street but not what you would call a hotel.

There is a lot of exposed wiring, much exposed construction relic (rubble, brinks, concrete bags etc) and many of the rooms are only 3/4 length walls. The hygiene of the bathrooms, especially the shared washrooms is highly questionable and although the porter staff are very friendly and helpful, the staff at reception are very disinterested in you and many extra charges and tips pop up unexpectedly.

I didn't feel safe leaving valuables in the room so I brought all things of worth with me on daily outings.

Local area. Market 200 yards away. resturants and cafe's on the doorstep. Not tourist area therefore no begging and touting. Next to railway station. School of Art and crafts. Taxi's outside. Lots of street activity.

I would advise staying somewhere else. It's just not a nice place, there were cats in the third floor hallways and the first flood was still being built. When I arrived they put me in a really low grade room even though I'm pretty sure I booked something better. They did try and put me in a better room but at a cost. The whole thing just wasn't a pleasant experience, find somewhere else, your better off.

My house away from home

Didn't stay myself but booked for my relatives. It's thier feedback

My stay was great ask them for their new room at the back.

Single rooms are very expensive, although conditions are not very good.Some are bit smelly and plug power not working.They are broken.

wi fi does not work great.

Staff very helpful when we needed to have our rooms together with outside space.
Breakfast included in the price,served nextdoor in a cafe and was really nice good choice including eggs.
Good location for CST station,Crawford Market.

Staff very helpful. Needed 2 rooms next door to each other and this was accomplished without ant fuss. Ideal for train station and easy taxi to various places in Mumbai. Good budget hotel with breakfast and a great restaurant. Balconies also gave opportunities for people watching as well as socialising

The hotel is relatively clean, the Wi-Fi was adequate, and the neighborhood was interesting for me. A woman alone might find it unsafe after dark.
I wouldn't stay again, however. My initial room was an airless closet, stifling without AC and too cold with (the AC wasn't adjustable). My first night, after I arrived very late, I realized to my dismay the hotel hadn't provided a covering sheet, and I was forced to sleep in my pants and jacket.
When I mentioned that the next day, the front desk personnel just shrugged. It wasn't a concern for them.
I asked for a new room, and they put me in the hotel's most expensive suite without suggesting other possibilities, and when I left, they tried to charge me the higher rate for both of the two days I spent there. Such "mistakes" should never happen.
My more expensive room was bearable, though it had no desk, but the hotel staff, corporate employees, seem to regard guests as chickens to be plucked.
Summary: Cleanish, interesting neighborhood, good Wi-Fi, unfriendly management. Regard as a last resort.

Not maintained properly.very much disappointed.Complimentary breakfast is not at all good.

The old rooms are not suitable to stay any more. The annex building with new tip top rooms are much comfortable. We did enjoy our stay.
