Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Abode Bombay is a quirky hotel up the road from the Gateway of India, with 20 chic rooms with lots of Old World charm (but modern conveniences too: guests are loaned local cellphones to use during their stay). The delicious breakfast buffet features local favorites — spinach pakoras, pav bhaji, corn poha — along with made-to-order masala omelettes and egg bhurji.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Mumbai.

Lonely Planet review:

“A terrific 20-room boutique hotel, stylishly designed with colonial-style and art deco furniture, reclaimed teak flooring and original artwork; the luxury rooms have glorious free-standing bath tubs.”

Telegraph review:

“The only boutique-style option in Mumbai, Abode, is located in the heart of Colaba, within strolling distance of the city’s historic sites and great restaurants. Manned by a small team who know you by name, this feels like a real home in the fabulous chaos of India’s most vibrant city.”

In Mumbai, a city where everything is done big, big, and bigger, finding a quaint, small boutique hotel like the Abode Bombay Hotel is a rare and amazing find. Words like cool, funky, and unique are often used to describe the property. In India, these are not usual terms used in association with hotels and that alone entices visitors for a slice of the unusual in such a grand city.

The stylish and individualism in the hotel’s décor and the atmosphere are truly welcoming, especially since accommodation is easy on the wallet while being amazingly located. The hotel is in the heart of Colaba, a small historic tourist hub in Mumbai. It is an easy, relaxing walk to key attractions like Shoppers Stop, Gilbert Hill, Mount Carmel Church, Powai Lake and Andheri Sports Complex.

The rooms are immaculately kept with features like comfy bedding, ceiling fan and an attached bathroom with a shower. Many great local art pieces can be found lining the walls as the hotel is a great supports of local designers and craftsmen. Hotel amenities include a full-service spa, restaurant, laundry facilities and free WiFi. Kids of all ages are welcomed in the informal atmosphere so this is great vacationing accommodations of the whole family to enjoy the best that India has to offer.

A beautiful home from home.

Abode is a beautiful home where everything is taken care of. The environment is so welcoming, from the communal space to your room. All the lovely little touches make such a difference. Eye masks, ear plugs, bath robes and slippers. I didn’t want to leave. The staff are also super friendly and accomodating and speak good English. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast is delicious and you’re always greeted with a warm welcome in the morning. They also organise some great tours. I’d recommend the early morning tour - early wake up but you see parts of city life that are gone by 8am!

Nothing - it was a joy.

A lovely traditional boutique hotel ideally situated with very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely traditional feel. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and did all they could to help. My room was nice and was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with freshly made Indian and western options. And lovely touches like a wonderful homemade strawberry jam.The Indian options were explained to me by one of the staff which was helpful in deciding what to try. The hotel is ideally situated being very close to the Gateway to India and many of the popular sights. I would highly recommend this lovely boutique hotel.

Electrics look very old although they presented no problems.

Very good

Very cool that they give you an indian mobile to use. I also got early checkin. Breakfast is ok. Very friendly personnel, especially that one girl.

It's a bit old and you can see that although it's generally clean, not all spaces, nooks and crannies are being cleaned.

Perfection

The staff, the design, the decor, the cleanliness and sustainability practises. Everything was 10/10. Mr Nilesh, Mr Ganesh and Ms Ashwini are assets to the company. The lounge on the 4th floor is a luxe cocoon to relax in and the room was very well appointed and comfortable.

Loved everything about the property.

The hotel is in an excellent location - just behind the gateway of India. The staff is friendly - the breakfast was varied and excellent, being served from 8-10:30. We went for the basic room with shared bathrooms (always clean), no windows, and a large beam through the middle. Lastly, they provide a container of safe drinking water in your room everyday which was a really nice touch. I'd highly suggest staying here.

The large beam was at 5 ft tall so you had to duck under it, but it was very well padded for when I went my head the middle of the night.

The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the bathtub in the room. Thoughtfully placed beside it was a little jar of bathing salt and dried rose petals, perfect for a relaxing soak. That small gesture transformed an ordinary evening into a calm spa-like experience.

Nothing I can think of.

Beautiful Stay, would visit again.

The art deco and the retro vibe. The entire building had a lot of character, starting from the staircase to the rooms, the dining area, everything. The staff is extremely courteous and happy to help, very warm ambience. Loved every bit of the stay.

Nothing much to not like. The only thing that I think could be better was the food and dining. The breakfast is lovely but there is no other ordering menu. I understand that's not a problem per se because it's Colaba and food is easily available but maybe a couple of easy signature dishes on a regular dine in or room service menu would be nice.

Beautiful vintage/modern hotel in Colaba!

The interior design is well though and beautiful. It is a mix of vintage and modern design. The staff is super friendly and responsive to anything you might need. We stayed on a room next to the lobby/break room but it is well insulated that you can't hear anything from the lobby area. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do, the gateway of India is just two blocks away, and there is so much to see around. We had a great stay.

The street outside is lively and busy — it’s Colaba, after all — perfect if you want to be in the heart of the action. While there’s plenty of traffic and noise, it fades into a kind of white noise, and sleeping was surprisingly easy.

Well located, chic hotel

Abode is in a great location, with a chic restaurant/chill out area and would make a great base to start a trip to India. The breakfast was excellent and great coffees too from the local coffee shop downstairs. The staff were helpful especially with a late night transfer.

It is quite a noisy place to stay - ear plugs were provided which was helpful but it is not really a place to relax during the day if you need to (in your room).

Amazing boutique hotel in Bombay

Abode was a truly amazing stuff with the friendly staff! Breakfast everyday was various food from different parts of India, which was great and always the western option! Beds were comfy and location was right in Colaba, close to Taj hotel and Getaway of India. Walking distance to other attractions and shops for jewelry and colaba causeway!

Excellent stay at this friendly hotel !

We were warmly welcomed on arrival by Ganesh. He showed us into our room and explained everything to us. We were in a simple room which was very nice, spotlessly clean, really comfortable bed and lovely linen. Nice large shower with great water pressure! Breakfast was delicious with good choices, western and Indian, and served with a smile from the lovely girl whose name I’m sorry I’ve forgotten but she couldn’t have been nicer, despite being harassed by another guest who was obviously just trying to get an upgrade! Our flight out wasn’t until 1.30am so they let us leave our luggage after checkout and were happy for us to relax on their comfy sofas after a tiring days sightseeing until we left for the airport. We did the early morning tour they offered which was great and also had a massage from the school for the blind. Lots of nice things to say about Abode but what we’ll remember most is how friendly and helpful Ganesh and the lovely girl were!
