Great location. Thats basically it im afraid. Its a 2* hotel so I didn't arrive expecting the taj, but this place was a shambles. I arrived at 12.30 midnight. Couldn't find a way in, had to seek help. There is no sign to get in at all on street level. During check in the guy (who WAS friendly at least) offered to change money for me 3 times. He offered beer 3 times too. Thats fine, but I felt uncomfortable as a solo female traveller to be offered alcohol so many times at 1am when all I wanted to do was go to bed. The bathrooms are pretty atrocious. Holes in all ceiling panels. I felt so uncomfortable I didn't even shower in the morning, and trust me, I NEEDED that shower. Sheets were thin and not very clean, room didn't have a proper window. Room also dusty etc. Not a huge issue but it could be an awesome property, and is just...bleak. In the morning I was washing my face in the communal sink and the night manager interrupted me to ask if I wanted money changed, as I had soap bubbles all over my face and was bent over the sink, I couldn't believe he was asking me again when my eyes were literally covered in soap and I was draped in a towel, but, despite me ignoring this question, he stood by me and Continued to ask again till i rinsed my face and responded "no I don't need money changed". I kid you not, I swear this guy asked me over 20 times if I wanted money changed. He interrupted me on the phone to ask this again. When I said please don't ask this again, he gaslit me into thinking I was crazy and angry, and said the other manager had told him I wanted money changed.id said "no" at LEAST 10 times by the time the day manager even came on duty. It was a total farce. He also knocked on my door at 8am to ask for my passport again. I told him i was getting drrssed and id bring him the passport on my way out. He had to have this repeated 3 times before he agreed to wait. same guy also offered to book me a taxi to bandra terminus for 800rs. He wasn't kidding, I double checked. Even on a metered taxi this only came to 400rs. Like I said, this could be an awesome place, but the current prices charged are a rip off. If you're a solo female traveller, it was fine, but I did not feel great in this place, and I wouldn't recommend it. The guy who hassled me repeatedly needs to be talked to. He's not a bad guy but honestly his hustling left me feeling unusually harassed, and I'm pretty bloody tolerant.
