Pros:

Studio Room is very small, bathroom was not clean and bad smell all over. A small window was there but it felt like sleeping in a bunker. Breakfast was ok, food was a bit stale but staff was very nice. Location is good, but I wouldn't recommend that room.

Comfortable hotel
Pros:

Neat ,clean, comfortable place situated in the heart of south Mumbai.. The location is good and convenient. The staff were cheerful and helpful. Check in checkout was quick. Room service was efficient.

Cons:

Toiletries are rather sparse. Though it's a room for two the shower gel quantity barely suffices one person. Pillows too big. Not comfortable for the neck
