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.

Stylish Stay, Amazing Location, and the Dreamiest Bathtub!

I spent a weekend at Abode Bombay in one of their suites, and it was such a memorable experience. Here are some highlights: 1. The Space: The design of the hotel is absolutely beautiful—every detail is so intentional. It’s warm and full of charm while still offering all the modern amenities you’d want. They’ve managed to preserve the original character of the building, and it really stands out from the typical hotel vibe. Plus, it’s so photogenic—you can’t take a bad picture here! 2. The Staff: From the moment I arrived, the team was welcoming, attentive, and super helpful. They made the whole stay feel effortless and ensured I was always comfortable. 3. The Location: If you’re looking to explore, the hotel is in a great spot. It’s within walking distance of art galleries/museums, restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks—perfect for soaking up everything Mumbai has to offer. 4. The Bathtub: I have to give a special shoutout to the gold bathtub in my suite. It was such a luxurious touch, and honestly, I didn’t want to leave my room because of it! Overall, Abode Bombay is perfect if you’re after a stay that’s stylish, comfortable, and conveniently located. It has this quiet, boutique luxury vibe without trying too hard - that makes it feel really special. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Mumbai. P.S. Loved the coffee and snacks from Subko—such a thoughtful addition! Thanks to the team for an amazing stay!

Boutique cozy stay in the center location (good value for money place)

The place is very cozy especially the lobby. Very helpful and friendly staff available 24/7. Very good location. I had to check-out at 4.30 am but event at that time the staff helped me with luggage and breakfast.

Toilets are shared. It was good that there was shower in the room. The room did not have any windows. If somebody has issues with low ceiling it might be a trigger.

Cosy mini break

Loved the decor and the old-time vibe of the place. the breakfast was excellent, staff attentiveness and friendliness were above what we expected also. the location was great, the bed was comfy and very nice and quiet.

We stayed in a budget room which didn't have a window, and which also had low headroom. We knew this would be the case from the description before we booked, but we still found it to be uncomfortable and the room was very damp from the shower unless the AC was on max.

A gem in Colaba serving up gourmet breakfast and quality coffee!

Abobe Mumbai is a (not so hidden) gem in Colaba! What excellent location - close to the galleries and other sights in the area! Cleanliness was on point and the sheets were actually white and crisp! The real treat was the gourmet breakfast served on enamelware.

Too expensive! Although the property might justify room rates given the location. Return guest discounts and Subko coffee vouchers would be great!

Beatiful lobby, very nice location in walking distance to the Gateway of India and other sights, helpful and kind staff, nice breakfast, very clean room (cleaned daily)

Ceiling in room was quite low and can be a challenge for tall people, no window in room that could be opened which made it difficult to get rid of humidity (e.g. after taking a shower)

The only small area of improvement would be the humidity in the rooms, because the shower is in the room and in our room there were no windows.

Brilliant hotel in a superb location

Great staff, super location, fabulous breakfast. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the Gateway of India and the Taj hotel. The location is in a very safe area with lots of bars and restaurants very close by. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, the room was great (we had a room with en-suite shower facilities and a separate shared toilet - the toilet was fine - there was 3 cubicles which were always clean with fresh hand towels). The shared area is a lovely spot to relax, have a coffee or read a newspaper. The staff decorated the hotel and entrance beautifully for Diwali.

Squeaky clean and centrally located. It is located in the heart of Colaba! The Gateway and and Taj Mahal Palace are within a walking distance. The streets around the stay are packed with great restaurants so you don’t have to worry about where to eat at all!

A beautiful oasis within the chaos that is India. The staff is amazing and we felt at home here.

It was a little noisy with the wrong people living in rooms close to you. When other guests are respectful and quiet in the night, it is actually quite calm and nice. I would recommend some guidelines for guests for solving this issue.

Front desk staff were not very cooperative when I ask to Check out 1 hour after noon. It took him 2 sec to replay that it was not possible even thought the hotel was half empty. Being a recurrent customer, I don’t appreciate such a lack of empathy. I was waiting in the cafeteria 5 hours as I had a late flight, and during that time I just saw 1 person checking in. Not impressed by this customer service!

The best hotel stay of my trip to India

The hotel was beautiful, the staff was amazing and the breakfast was excellent. My train was late arriving so I was a bit worried about checking in after midnight, but it was no problem, the staff was welcoming and I was given an upgraded room! Couldn't have been happier!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, Abode provides a calming environment.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, Abode provides a calming environment. It is close to the Gateway of India, Taj Palace, and if youre a reader, the famous Leopold Cafe (a frequented place in Shantaram). Speaking of reading, the common area has a vast selection of good reads. Picture yourself in Legends & Lattes (It's that cozy and magical). The staff was very friendly and professional. The room and common area were clean. The little touches were very unique. Sleeping masks, ear plugs, slippers and turn down snacks were provided. The towels and bedding were of superior quality. The shampoo, lotion, hand wash etc., smelled amazing. There were no power issues and internet speed was great. I would also like to note that I stayed here two days after a major surgery. The staff made sure that I had everything I needed (including an extra bed for my sister). The charm, cleanliness, friendliness and professionalism of the staff; the location, -it just cant be beat. Far surpassed my expectations.

It was really lovely, and exceeded my expectations in almost every way.

The location was perfect. While it was tucked away down a back street, it was a stone’s throw about from Leopold Cafe, the Regal Cinema and The Gateway of India. The breakfast was also lovely - a mix of fresh fruits, Indian, and continental foods available.

Highly recommended hotel in Mumbai

Amazing design. Perfect place where to stay in Colaba. Super clean and elegant. The staff did whatever possible to accommodate our needs. Great breakfast! A special thanks to Husna (from the taxi company that supports female drivers, in partnership with Adobe). She was very professional and kind!
