Bentley Hotel, Marine Drive

Good hotel with a view of the marine drive and the iconic Wankhede cricket stadium nearby. The breakfast was sumptuous and tasty especially their Bombay pav bhaji, chaha pohe. Cleanliness, service and amenities are good.

Bed Bugs Alert ! The hotel is good for the budget and also situated in good area near marine drive, you can peek outside the window and get the sea view also the staff is very helpful and polite, but only bad thing and it’s the most important is Bed Bugs, they have bed bugs, when i asked the reception they said it might have travelled through some guest but next day i saw more in room, would not recommend because of this reason.

A Decent Stay Bentley Hotel, Marine Drive is a decent option if you’re looking for a stay in a convenient location. The hotel is housed in an old building, and the interior also has an old-fashioned feel, which gives it a certain character. However, based on my experience, I would rate it 3 stars. The breakfast was not particularly impressive and felt more in line with a typical 3-star hotel. The biggest advantage is definitely the location near Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium. Overall, a reasonable choice if location matters more than modern facilities and luxury.

We booked the hotel because of its location. No doubt the location does provide advantages given the hotel’s proximity to Colaba’s and Churchgate’s prime location. Unfortunately that’s the only good thing about the hotel. There’s no signage or directions to reach the hotel’s reception. There’s a watchman who is found glued to his phone almost all the time. There’s an elevator to reach the 3rd floor but the guests are not allowed to take the luggage in it so come prepared with warm up exercise dragging your trolleys and suitcases up the stairs The gentleman manning the reception desk desperately needs a crash course in hospitality. His appearance resembles a disgruntled government bank employee who is least interested in working. In my case he was quick to point out that he could see my booking but can’t validate that we had made a booking for our son. Our ‘warm welcome’ started with a rather cold argument and ended with me making a payment upfront. The hotel’s geyser switch is located in the lobby so if by any chance you need a hot shower you are required to go out and switch the geyser on and by any chance if you fail to switch it off, be ready for a lecture from the uncle at the reception. Finally the rooms are tiny and there’s no restaurant so the complimentary breakfast is served in the room. The quality and quantity of the breakfast served was satisfactory although worth noting that they follow the Indian Railways philosophy that ‘non-veg’ translates strictly as ‘bread omelette’ For a small hotel the number of staff is relatively high who always expect a tip.

Great location off Marine Dr with its continuous flow of pedestrians, exercising, catching the breeze in the mornings, & evening & nights; - 4 mins walk to Churchgate train stn; longer to the C metro but Uber is most useful. - staff are helpful & hotel is modern.

Clean and simple place to stay. I didn’t have a window so it felt a little claustrophobic. Nobody cleaned my room until I asked them to on day 3. The housekeeper only entered my room after noticing I had come back after a long day, around 1630. The hot water was also not very hot, and didn’t last for a long time (perhaps I wasn’t using it correctly..). Anyway, if you’re used to western hotels, I would HIGHLY recommend just splurging on one of the nicer ones. You won’t regret it.

Perfect location. Staff were extremely helpful. Good breakfast and they accommodated us with early breakfast on our departure day.
