Abode Bombay Hotel, Mumbai
Expert reviews
“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.
“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.”
“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.”

All you need to know
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.

Place is amazing, very unique, the room style remind me Bali in my country, old building but still very nice view especially with big window
It is very near to gate of india, means the street will be crowded almost all the time, and cars keep honking until midnight

Adorable hotel in the best place in Bombay
Excellent accommodation in the best area of Bombay. Main attractions very close and restaurants with delicious food (in kala ghoda). The hotel itself is perfect, the facilities are very good, with conditionar air and good wifi, the cleanliness is impeccable, the breakfast is delicious (especially the masala chai and the omelette) and the service is very good (especially from sadhana, who was very kind and helped us with everything we asked or needed). I would stay at this hotel again and especially recommend it to Western tourists looking for a quiet place to stay.
Nothing, all was perfect

Comfortable and central
Centrally located, clean and hotel. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice.
Room rates a little high for not having a toilet in the room.

Love this boutique hotel but staff need to be more attentive to the cleaning of the room on daily basis
Location and the interior
They don’t clean very well. Towel was left. Half ass cleaning job.

We loved our stay at Abode Hotel Mumbai, a charming old house with great character. The staff were fantastic, helping us secure cricket tickets for a game in Ahmedabad. Without their help, we wouldn't have made it to the game. Comfortable accommodations and exceptional service made for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Really well thought out, chill place with cool staff and a delicious breakfast
Staff were relaxed and helpful. I liked the casual interior design and that we felt comfortable to use the lounge area after checking out as we had a late flight. I appreciated the lack of waste - filtered water abundantly available, no plastic amenities and rubbish was separated.
Unfortunately I misplaced my EarPods in the room and they didn’t show up which was a shame.

We had a lovely stay at Abode, Bombay.
The location is ideal; most iconic food joints and shopping stores of colaba are at a walkable distance. The staff is really accommodating and overall, it is a no-fuss, comfortable boutique hotel.

Me and my wife really enjoyed our stay at Abode Hotel - we were impressed by the services offered and the helpfulness of
It was clean, the staff really helpful and it has a very nice design.

Perfect!
The location is excellent, being steps away from the gateway of India and the Taj Hotel. What really makes this place special is the staff. Ganesh, Nilesh and the entire team couldn’t be more helpful. Furthermore, their tours are great. We did the half day + slum tour and also a street food tour (perfectly safe and hygienic!!) with the guide Vasu. Vasu was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly and had a great sense of humour and really made us feel welcome to Mumbai. I’d recommend Abode Mumbai to anyone!

A real nice boutique hotel where you feel really well

We enjoyed our stay, loved the property and its atmosphere, but forgot to take photos.
Very niche and well-maintained property in the heart of Colaba.
Everything was fine about the property, but the suite could have had an electric kettle for tea and coffee.

It was wonderful. We soaked in the atmosphere and forgot to take photos of the place!
Location and uniqueness of the property.
Property is fine but an important amenity missing is an electric kettle in the room for tea/coffee.

Lovely stay.
Great location for first timers. All the staff is friendly and welcoming. Have a great coffee shop, breakfast is good. The room is spacious, toilet facilities are good and bed is very comfortable. Air conditioner works very well. I would stay here again.
Noise from street, maybe they need to upgrade the windows.

Amazing staff and stay
Everything was incredible! The staff were very kind and helpful, the room was lovely and spacious with lots of light. The staff also organised a complimentary meditation session during our stay which we thoroughly enjoyed and if we returned we would pay for another session! We loved the additional touches such as the very helpful pamphlets in the room, the bathroom amenities and the laundry service was reasonable. The location was also great for access to food and the museum and there is a pet store below that has some very cute cats who love pats. We will stay again when we return to Mumbai.
Our room was right on the road which meant we got quite a bit of traffic noise at night however the hotel helpfully provided earplugs and sleep masks so it was no problem at all but keep that in mind if you are a light sleeper (but I don’t think all the rooms would have this problem so maybe ask if it’s important to you).
