海灣飯店(Hotel Gulf)

La posizione è ottima. La camera era pulita e confortevole. Ma il vero plus di questo hotel è mr. Sanson, il ***ager. Capisce al volo le tue esigenze e ti rende facile soddisfarle. A noi ha risolto un bel po’ di problemi, e nel giro di pochi minuti

I ***** with my parents stayed at Gulf Hotel, Colaba for one night in a triple bed room. Chose this hotel given its location and so called good reviews. The hotel is located in an old building like most budget/midrange hotels of South Mumbai. It essentially starts from the 4th floor which is accessed by a tiny lift (max 2 full grown adults capacity excluding lift ***). The check in was smooth and staff starting from the ever smiling lift*** to the receptionist are courteous. However, the rooms are small, poorly lit and claustrophobic. Bathroom which is even smaller stinks. Only 1 bottle (250ml) drinking water per person is provided. Room service is lazy and quality of food is average. Food orders take ages to get delivered. Dinner consisting of simple dal chawal, egg curry, etc ordered at 9.45 pm was delivered at 11.30 pm and that too after repeated reminders. The only reason to stay in this hotel is it's location being close to the Gateway of India and Taj Hotel. The neighborhood has a touristy vibe and evenings are pleasant. In short, I would stop just short of recommending this place. I would suggest a bit more research and adding a few extra bucks per night to book a better place in the immediate vicinity.
