Abode Bombay Hotel, Mumbai

Excellent location. Quaint and charming heritage building, beautifully restored. We booked the luxury suite rooms as it has an en suite bathroom and we are travelling with our 3 year old. Limited but freshly prepared breakfast. Lots of restaurants around the area. Staff were lovely.

Breakfast was wholesome and tasty. Nicely done.. good variety. Ambience was super as also the decor and colours. Warm and positive vibes.

Room size could have been slightly bigger

Abode Bombay is a stylish property, conveniently located next to the Gateway to India and the famous Cafe Mondegar. The reception is manned 24/7 by friendly staff, there is a lovely coffee bar area which is great for working, relaxing or dining. The attention to detail is great, with lovely touches in the rooms such as personal care kits and a selection of complimentary toiletries. The WiFi is good and fast, and the staff provide visitors with maps as well as options for things like spa services and meditations.

There are a lot of “guides” who hang around outside this hotel who will try and scam you or take you to “their” shops to receive a sales pitch. These people are a menace and should be avoided. In the hotel itself, I stayed in an internal room with no windows - this was fine for my short stay, but the lack of ventilation made the air in the room quite damp and heavy. Also be careful of the low ceiling beams upstairs - I was aware of them, but even at only 5’10 and being careful I managed to bang my head twice!

It has a great location; yet the rooms are quiet and cosy. Very minimalist, well appointed rooms with all amenities. Having Subko on the premises is an added bonus.

The breakfast spread is a little small. And I really wish they would make arrangements to serve a cold breakfast on the 4th floor also.

Breakfast and everything actually

Loved the friendly atmosphere

Beautiful vintage style and setting, great location, cafe perfect to get some work done

Can be noisy outside sometimes

The staff were very attentive and helpful. The room was tidy, but had everything we needed and was clean. Excellent shower. Will stay here again. Not related to the hotel but do eat at Leopold cafe. Excellent curries, lovely cold beers and a great ambience.

The rainy weather but didn't spoil our stay at Abode Bombay

The property is very well located; has lovely minimalist rooms; super clean…nice large bathrooms. They serve a small, but sufficient breakfast buffet. And they have a mini Subko on site…which has the best coffee.

This particular stay was a bit noisy as they are undergoing maintenance and renovations; but that’s okay.

We loved our room, the bed and bedding were very comfortable, breakfast of such high quality, helpful and friendly staff, excellent location, beautiful common area, hot shower with good pressure. Will definitely be recommending to friends!

Location

The food was very good. Highly recommend it.

The rooms were very moist.

the staff and experience

our rooms were close to the kitchen due to which our sleep was disturbed in the morning

Ambience

Breakfast

It’s the second time I have stayed at Abode Bombay and it never disappoints. Great location, friendly staff, generous breakfast, excellent rooms with beautiful linen, a boutique hotel with so many comforts, do yourself a favour and use it as your base whilst in Mumbai, you will not regret it.

It is near the street, so can be a bit noisy, they do provide ear plugs and it quietens down later at night.

Have always loved staying at Abode and the new section on the 4th floor was fabulous. I’d always love to stay in room 401 now with all the windows and the light seeping through.

Good rooms, good staff, good breakfast, good location. Lots of positives to this place.

Very little to fault other than the occasional low ceiling.

The room was really spacious on the top floor, with lots of light shinning in from the large windows. The breakfast was delicious, really good quality.

The lift was a little precarious, but we became to love it…. With pigeons travelling on the top.

Everything

Clean, well organized and relaxing. The property itself is located in an amazing location and inside a historic building.

Low ceilings. But that was a minor inconvenience.

I have to say Abode Bombay was one of the best places I have ever stayed in. The staff is just superb - they are very knowledgeable and ultra friendly. I loved the backstory of the hotel - supporting locals, women and people in need. The breakfast was amazing 🤩 Location is also very good and safe at the same time. I will definitely come back and explore Mumbai again. Best regards to Ganesh, which is just a phenomenal host - making us feel like one big family. All the best from Poland, I hope to see you soon 🇵🇱🔜

Suuuper stylish hotel (both rooms and lobby), one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Many small details that look cool. They provide a lot of amenities and other stuff. The city map hit my heart. Great location, close to all main sights and iconic places. Good breakfast (coffee could've been better though). Cool staff, always ready to help. TV with Smart TV. Fast and stable Wi-Fi. Well-designed lighting.

A lot of beams at chest level, you have to bend over all the time. A bit strange prepayment system, I would prefer to pay directly through booking and not through sketchy links. Stray dogs sleeping in front of the hotel (didn't bother me, they are harmless, but it might seem unpleasant to someone). Some stains on the towels.

It only gets better with my every visit….

Nice location . Neat and clean. Warm welcome and always smiling and helpful staff trying everything to make you comfortable

Everything! Especially our room

Loved everything

Ashwini could not have been more attentive. Abode is a peaceful oasis in the craziness of Colaba. We recommend the meditation session with Jumana if you are there on a Saturday.

Great location and ambience..the place felt really personal and quiet while being in the centre of south Mumbai attractions. The staff Nilesh and Tony are really friendly and helpful. Tony (on night shift) helped me process my food delivery order at 1 am. This place is really beautiful with a cute little library. Breakfast is brilliant and served with smiles and warmth. Situated steps from Gateway of India, Colaba causeway market, Cafe Mondegar and Marine Drive. I only had positive experiences in Abode Bombay. Highly recommend this place for a very nice and memorable stay. Best place I have stayed in.

Nothing I didn't like. This is just perfect. Wish others learn from this place.

Beautiful and cute hotel, with super friendly staff. Helped us the first few days in India and had loads of tips on what to do. Really liked the breakfast as well!

We had a fantastic stay at Abode Bombay. The breakfasts were delicious and varied, the hotel was always clean, and we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, and helpful at all times. We truly enjoyed our time here and would gladly return in the future.

Nothing to mention — everything was great and exceeded our expectations.

They were so attentive- whatever we needed they made it happen! The BREAKFAST was out of this world. Every morning I looked forward to it:) They thought of everything for the room from a robe to slippers to earplugs to an adapter. On the last night, they even left a friendly note and treats on my bed. Truly felt so warm here!

Everything was super nice, nice location, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, breakfast was delicious!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Respectful and welcoming staff (Nilesh and Ashwini), unique decor and more importantly the eco-friendly approach i.e. no use of plastics. Early check-in and early morning (4 am) breakfast was provided to us.

Breakfast is delicious. The decoration is beautiful. Service is friendly, and location is unbeatable

Our room was crossed by a low beam, leaving a free height of 1.68 under. We knew it in advance, so it was not a surprise. It was not really a problem

Service (change money, booking taxi, coffee corner, guidance for what to do in the city)

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.

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 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.

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.

Love how the spirit if mumbai is captured within the hotel.. absolutely beautiful rooms and amazing staff and nothing beats the perfect location

The location was very prime, everything was walking distance. The rooms were very neat and comfy, plus the staff was very welcoming and friendly, they payed attention to detail for your comfort and we absolutely loved our time there, will definitely recommend this property to everyone!

The staff was super professional

The room was very compact and a bit not maintained

Great staff, best location. Walkable to beach, Gateway of India and Colaba street shopping. 10/10 experience.

Cheerful and helpful staff, the vibe of the place was very good. It's close to all the places you have to visit in the South of Mumbai.

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.

Great location, sustainable ethos, total focus on customer satisfaction, excellent breakfast, wonderful quirky property full of objets trouvés, little details like providing an adapter, yoga and meditation access.

No hairdryer

Amazing rooms - so comfortable, they thought of everything. The bath was the highlight.

Overall staff were incredible, breakfast was absolutely delicious. Really wonderful service all around.

Breakfast was amazing. Staff is very helpful and polite. Services are amazingly quick.

Lower ceiling height and no attached toilet.

Great location. Quaint design and attention to detail.

Can get a little noisy in the street.

Everything
