Guest Reviews

• Kilije (6/5): - Convenient location. Nice rooms with a vintage spirit. BEDSHITS ARE NOT CLEAN. They are smelly with somebody else's hairs. Main entry doesn't look like the entrance of a hotel. Reception at 3rd floor so completely confusing.
• Alison (8/5): A charming colonial-style hotel in a great Colaba location, comfortable rooms and friendly service. - Traditional colonial-style boutique hotel in the heart of Colaba. I was pleasantly surprised—the photos don’t do it justice. We stayed in the annex across the street, which is just as nice if not nicer than the main hotel, also a traditional colonial-style house. Our room was basic but nicely furnished with heavy carved wooden furniture, and French doors opening onto a small terrace overlooking a pretty garden square with trees. As noted in previous reviews, the mattresses are quite firm, but I experienced this often during travels in India, so this may be fairly typical. Breakfast is ordered by phone to reception and served in your room each day: juice, a pot of fresh coffee, plenty of toast and jam, and an omelette to order—simple but fresh and hot. The location is excellent, within walking distance of all main attractions. The main street has a well-known daily/evening market, and there are many restaurants and bars nearby. I highly recommend Koyla, which has a beautiful rooftop with views across to the Taj Hotel and amazing food. I would definitely recommend Bentleys Hotel for its location, traditional colonial style, and friendly service. Nothing
• Dan (10/5): - LÄGET ÄR BRA DET BÄSTA I DEN PRISKLASSEN I COLABA , HAR BOTT DÄR 25 GGR
• Lars (8/5): -
• Mark (5/5): Would have been better off with a cheaper hotel near the airport as metro is very clean and efficient to get to the cent - Quirky hotel in a great location near Gateway of India. We found insects on the beds of 2 of the rooms. Hotel and booking.com need to interface better re room numbers. We were 8 people so booking.com made us book 4 rooms - they each had either 2 or 3 double beds so we would only have needed 2! Only 1 of our 4 rooms was en-suite - the rest had a bathroom down the hallway which was open to people entering during the night.
• 大下 (1/5): -
• Rich (9/5): - Fantastic location
• Antonia (5/5): Prachtige locatie maar hotel heeft geen flauw idee van wat een hotel hoort te zijn. - Locatie Duurde heel lang voor er iemand wakker was om binnen te kunnen komen terwijl ze precies wisten hoe laat de aankomst was. Geen flauw idee van hospitality. Zelfs geen flesje drinkwater op de kamer. Kapot meubilair. Ontbijt beneden peil en dan kan je op het laatst alleen cash betalen. Wordt tijd dat ze niet langer in 1900 leven.
• David (7/5): - The location in leafy Colaba was perfect. And the staff were very friendly and helpful. My room had seven beds it even though there was only me. It felt like a deserted dorm. Having to padlock my room and seperate bathroom down the hallway was a pain. Breakfast was very simple
• Ruth (8/5): - Great visit apart from the hotel forgot to book us a taxi to the airport. We had difficulty f8nd8ng one which resulted in a hairy drive to the airport
• Katharina (9/5): -
• Natchev85 (10/5): - Hôtel bien placé, dans une rue calme, de style art déco. Chambre spacieuse et petit déjeuner correct pris dans la chambre. Personnel gentil et souriant... On ne peut que valider dans une ville de Mumbai si vivante... Rien à dire
• Fumiya Kawashima (8/5): - メイン通りから1本裏手にあるので、クラクションなどは全く気にならず、静かに過ごせます。スタッフさんも良いかたばかりで、ストレスなく過ごせました。 専用バスルームが部屋の外にあるので、部屋とバスルームの移動が面倒でした。昔ながらの洋館では、このような構造が当たり前なので、仕方ないと理解しています。
• James (8/5): Don’t go here if you’re after high end accommodation but do come if you like a bit of character to your dwellings and d - Old colonial feel. Loved the lift and the ac and fans were a god send. Felt secure as well. Staff very nice and helpful. I had booked afwmy room to myself as that was all that was left and was nice to have a lot of space. The external bathroom was a bit tough to navigate but was fine. Breakfast was a bit basic . 3 small bits of toast and a coffee doesn’t exactly set you up for the day. No other gripes. It was better then I expected
• Natalia (10/5): -
• Catherine (7/5): bien mais peut mieux faire - La situation géographique et le calme. Le personnel gentil et serviable il n'y a pas d'ambiance, pas de réception , pas d'espaces collectifs et donc pas de con tacts aisés avec d'autres ou pour nous aider.
• Vero Ji (8/5): - La literie était horrible, les lit même pas fait, juste un drap housse sur le matelas et en fin de lit une simple couverture et un simple drap plié. Par contre la chambre était très grande, agréable avec un petit balcon donnant sur une rue très calme. Le petit déjeuner est très succinct, c'est dommage cet hôtel pourrait être beaucoup mieux agencé, avec du renouveau pour apporter du confort. Vraiment trop cher pour ce que c'est
• Boris (9/5): -
• Vadrouille Claire (7/5): Bon emplacement - L'emplacement et la taille de la chambre ainsi que le matelas (dur). Le calme pour dormir. La propreté du linge, des serviettes et des plaids laisse à désirer.
• yuzu (8/5): -
• Khan (3/5): - Location Amneties not good. Toiletaries not provided
• Tim (9/5): Handy & affordable quiet location (unusual for Colaba, Mumbai), with old mansion charm. - Handy quiet location (unusual for Colaba, Mumbai), with old mansion charm & friendly/helpful staff. Old fashioned, simply & comfortable. Breakfast could have had more choice, but maybe we only had "Sunday" service.
• laure (8/5): -
• Christele (8/5): -
• Yuliia (9/5): Гарне місце - Гарне місцезнаходження, поруч готель Тадж Махал та ворота в Індію. Заселили о 2 ночі без проблем. Величезна кімната, кондиціонер, гаряча вода, чисті рушники Пляшка води після перельоту була б дуже окей
• Anirudha (9/5): Old-world charm - Excellent location in Colaba, nice old-fashioned decor, wonderful staff, very charming A bit rundown, but we didn't mind that at all
• jamie (4/5): Not a hotel, very overpriced room in old building - Location was very good It’s not a hotel it’s a room in a building. The door to the room wasn’t secure so I had to carry my valuables with me when I went out. Only 1 plug socket in the room actually worked. The bed wasn’t comfortable. The sheets and towels were old scratchy and stained. Very overpriced for what you get. I wouldn’t recommend staying here
• yolande (10/5): -
• Kate (9/5): Great staff, Beautiful Building, Huge Rooms - Great downtown location. Rooms a lot nicer than in the photos - and HUGE! Staff were lovely and really helpful. Proper old vibe without feeling run down or dirty. Cool classic french lift. Bathrooms were clean, and water pressure was good. Felt nice and safe, and was okay to walk home too alone. Sheets had a few marks but nothing suspicious. Breakfast was 2x Toast (slightly cold) and jam and Coffee - so nothing special.
• Jean Michel (10/5): - .
• Adrian (9/5): -
• Elke (9/5): Super Lage und alles in allem hervorragend ☺️ - Die Lage, das Zimmer und der Service Das Frühstück, es war okay aber ausbaufähig für den Preis.
• Jonathan (9/5): - Rue tranquille et charmante, emplacement parfait
• Nana (3/5): -
• Hen (8/5): - Nice and clean place and in a quite street in authencical house, just 1 minute walk from a main shopping street and 5 minute walk to Gateway of India.
• Ilona (7/5): - Bardzo miły personel. Dobra lokalizacja. Bezpieczna okolica. Było czysto. Hotel ma już mocno przestarzały. Śniadanie bardzo podstawowe: tost z masłem i dżem do wyboru z kawą/ herbatą.
• gwenael (7/5): -
• gwenael (8/5): Si l'on aime les expériences loin des standards, je recommande - le charme d'une hôtellerie des années 30 RAS
• Swathi (7/5): Stay is good - Ventilation and cleanliness Fan speed is not sufficient
• Nithianandan (5/5): - Room looks okay. Room services to be improved, Break fast is very simple
• Nils (8/5): Glimrende - Meget fint gammelt herskabeligt hus(kolonial stil) Der var en lidt ældre tyggegummi klump på gulvet.
• Maria Aparecida (8/5): All good. - Good location.
• Torsten (7/5): Gutes, einfaches Stadthotel - Sehr nettes Personal. Alles ist schlicht und einfach - das Hotel besticht aber durch seine sehr gute Lage. Die Betten sind zwar groß, jedoch sehr kurz (ca 180 cm). Schlafen ging dennoch prima
• James (8/5): -
• Gwen (4/5): Goede locatie, niet prijs-kwaliteit in verhouding voor mij. - Locatie goed. Ontbijt op kamer gebracht. Er is compensatie geboden voor de overlast. Misschien was het pech, maar geen fijne ervaring natuurlijk! Slapen in ander gebouw. Hygiene slecht, ratten op de kamer en personeel fat niet adequaat te werk ging na melding hiervan.

• Lucinda (7/5): -
• federico (7/5): -
• Luis Manuel (4/5): Estadia decepcionante pelas condições da casa de banho fora do quarto - A localização é muito boa, perto da Gatway of India. O pequeno almoço correspondeu às expectativas deste tipo de hotel: café com leite, torradas com doce ou manteiga e omelete. O pequeno-almoço foi servido nos quartos. Na semana anterior, tínhamos ficado em quartos com casa de banho no interior dos quartos. Desta vez, sem nos apercebermos quando fizemos a reserva, a casa de banho de cada quarto era privativa, mas fora do quarto, no corredor. Um dos quartos era em frente da recepção e a casa de banho ao lado da recepção. Não há espaço nem condições para se poder levar a roupa para vestir dentro da casa de banho (as casas de banho são muito pequenas, sem banheira e fica tudo molhado quando se toma banho). Além disso, ninguém viaja com roupão, o que tornou esta situação muito desagradável. Estes quartos (ditos familiares) têm duas camas de casal (pelo menos). Não são quartos nem condições aceitáveis para nós.

• Petra (9/5): - More then 20 years I am staying in Bentleys in Colaba! I like the area. The hotel is central and quiet. I stay usually in a big family room with balcony. I love the furniture style and the tiles, the breakfast is served in the room. The service of the people. After long of a time of staying here it feels like home
• Vivek (10/5): -
• Joëlle (8/5): -
• Amanda (6/5): - Läget. Att frukosten serverades till rummet. Trevlig och hjälpssmv personal är. Smidig kontakt via WhatsApp. Ingen ventilation på rummet, luktade mögel så vi fick besvär med klåda i ögon och täppt näsa. Frukost rostad macka och te.
• Proteek (8/5): -
• Bart (8/5): Een pareltje in een schitterende omgeving - Het mooie oude gebouw in een schitterende wijk. Fijne sfeer. Winkels om de hoek. Indian gate is op 10 minuten lopen. Het voelt allemaal heel goed De koude douche
• Faisal (2/5): - Location Bathroom was outside the room and we were not even informed about this... This is the worst possible scenario while staying for 2 nights
• Jancuskova (10/5): - Great location. Huge rooms and a balcony was a plus. Accommodating staff. We would stay again. Nothing.
• Heidrun (7/5): - Die Lage ist prima, das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Nachdem ich das Zimmer wechseln konnte, war alles ganz ok. Das erste Zimmer war furchtbar.
• Bernd (10/5): Würde ich sofort wieder buchen! - Sehr gute Lage, da zentral und trotzdem ruhig!
• Konstantina (10/5): - Superb little hotel, amazing location and provided me with everything I needed as a solo traveller. Thank you
• Faisal (7/5): - The place was good 👍 It was over charged
• Arjun (8/5): Comfy but this hotel is definitely haunted. - Nice location, clean room and comfy bed. The soap provided was a bit smelly (medimix) and hence I couldn’t use it. When I was about to sleep, the TV turned on by itself, stayed on for 2 mins and then turned off by itself.
• Maria (9/5): Um pequeno hotel com história - Tive a sensação de voltar ao passado: o edifício está muito bem recuperado, mantendo a traça dos anos 1920-1930. Estava tudo muito limpo e os funcionários são muito atenciosos. O pequeno-almoço almoço é servido no quarto. Temos apenas que pedir i que queremos por telefone. A situação do hotel é excelente o que permite andar a pé até a porta da Índia e locais próximos. Além disso, a rua é muito calma, não parecendo que estamos em Bombaim Sugestão: disponibilizar secador de cabelo.
• Peter (8/5): -
• Stefan (7/5): - Lage
• Charles (9/5): - Spacious room on a quiet leafy street as close as you can get to the Gateway of India without paying for the Taj. Faded charm. Minimal frills. Not changed so much in 30 years.
• suryaveer (10/5): -
• Roosa (9/5): Great value in South Mumbai - Great value for money in South Mumbai. We had a huge room with a private external bathroom that had a lock. I've stayed in many hotels in Mumbai, and the family room was by far the largest room I've seen. We also loved the large balcony to a quiet street. Breakfast (tea/coffee, toast and omelet) was included and served in the room. Someone would think it's a bit shabby, but I'd say the place is pretty nice and clean, within its price range. If you are a neat freak, consider bringing your own bedsheet.
• Geetika Gulati (8/5): I will book again sometime and go stay here, in a bigger room but not with family, only myself - Location was the best part. It feels like a neat/clean hostel. For a single person, the room options are very limited and very small size
• Benjamin (10/5): - Friendly staff Big and clean rooms
• Claudia H. (8/5): Posizione ottima a Colaba - La posizione è ottima, la zona è sicura Non si possono appendere i vestiti
• Elvira (8/5): -
• Winfried (9/5): Gerne wieder! - Riesiges Zimmer mit zwei großen Doppelbetten. Eingerichtet mit dunklem Holzmobiliar. Wasserkocher mit Zubehör, dazu Tee, Kaffee, Zucker, Kaffeeweißer im Zimmer. Kühlschrank. Balkon zur Straße raus, aber trotzdem relativ ruhig. Das Zimmer befand sich gleich bei der Rezeption: Man hörte das Ankommen und Abreisen der Gäste. Es war trotzdem nicht besonders laut. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Bentleys Hotel Frühstück war wie eh und je: Viel Toast, wenig Butter, kaum Marmelade. Dazu Tee / Kaffee. Kult : ) "Heißes Wasser jederzeit" wäre zeitgemäßer.
• Nicholas (7/5): - I loved how friendly the staff were. I loved the location in Colaba. Such a wonderful area. Full of shops, cafes, and things to see and do. I loved the vintage feel of the place. My room was enormous and the balcony wonderful. Noth8ng. I would stay again.
• Dan (8/5): it works for 2 nights- the location is really great, stuff nice; the cleaning can be improved - the location: at 1 minute from colaba market but still in a quiet area; i could walk even to marine drive. the hotel and the stuff are nice it was not really clean. the sheets were old and a bit stained ok, bit they didnt seem very clean either. i saw some small coackroached also in the room in the first night - i guess in that neighbourhood all the hotels have it + bad luck for me, my room was ar the 3rd floor next to the reception and kitchen
• Hubert (10/5): - Wszystko super, cena, lokalizacja, czystosc
• Utkin (10/5): - Удобное расположение, чистый номер, хороший матрас, отзывчивый персонал. Обязательно в следующий раз остановлюсь в этом отеле.
• S V (3/5): More of a bachelors pad who look for value for money. - Location. Quiet Its a run down place about 75 years old. Located on the 3rd and 4th Floor. Feels like a 70’s lodge. Room does not have attached bathroom. For a solo traveller they gave me a room with 6 beds. Dormitory. Beds were hard.
• Angie (8/5): I really liked the old-style building and the general atmosphere on the street. Very easy to walk to and from the market - Nice location. A fairly quiet street. Full of character and old charm. There’s a small park around the corner to sit in. Nothing
• Lars (9/5): I have had a wonderful week’s stay at Bentley’s Hotel in Colaba, Mumbai. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, -

• Paolo Oreste (7/5): To be back in the silent Oliver Road after a day out in the chaos of the city is a privilege!! - The Bentleys may have a number of deficiencies, but it has one priceless advantage: it is located in the Garden Road neighborhood. Here you will be just a few steps away from the main street of Colaba, and so you will have everything close by (restaurants, pharmacies, shops, the sea, everything), BUT you will be protected from the chaos and honking horns, surrounded only by silence, trees, and charming old buildings. And anyone who knows India knows how incredibly beneficial this is. That said, the building is dilapidated (but for some, like me, this is part of its charm). Depending on rooms' availability, you may stay in a similar building opposite the main building. No big deal. I had a room there. The staff speak sufficient English, and in addition to a man at the reception you will find someone available until around 5 p.m. who can help you with anything you need in Mumbai as a traveler (trust Roshan blindly!). The rooms are fairly clean (towels and sheets are worn and stained, but still clean), very very very basic (there were no closets in my room, just a table with few drawers, all dirty). Comfortable bed. Showers with hot water (at all times!). The Wi-Fi on the floors works. There is a small refrigerator in the corridor for guests' use. Basic breakfast (the usual slices of bread + jam and butter in mini portions). Remember that they only accept cash payments (but there are several ATMs in the area). CSMT train station is very close! Perhaps I would add a mosquito net to the bathroom window, which is completely open and has no closing shutters (but there weren't many mosquitoes and I was there in the Monsoon Season).
