Abode Bombay Hotel, Mumbai

Great breakfast and nice old style (Victorian) vibe to the decor and architectural style.

Room was spacious but had a slightly awkward layout due to the shape of the building. Still worked out well for us though.

I had a very good stay at Hotel Mumbai. The staff were all very helpful and attentive, especially Sadhana, who was kind and welcoming throughout. The food at the hotel was amazing, the atmosphere had a great vibe, and the location is very convenient. Overall, a very positive experience.

Breakfast was good

Excellent property

Its boutique hotel so cant compare with star property facilities!

Excellent style. A real haven in the city. The staff were as warm and friendly as family

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I especially liked the room, felt a bit too comfortable - didn’t even feel like doing sightseeing, just rolling in bed was excellent. The room was so clean it felt like heaven, I gave a large tip because of this.

The toilet being outside the room was a bit minus; but not a large issue. Common facilities could use a bit of an upgrade. Could also update the common areas a bit, selling bottled water and give information of scams in the area, but no major criticisms.

We had a great stay at Abode in Mumbai. The hotel has a really lovely feel—traditional with a modern Mumbai touch. It’s very well presented, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety and really good quality food. The staff were amazing throughout our stay. A special mention to Asha, who checked us in and looked after us most mornings at breakfast—she was fantastic and made us feel really welcome. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the tourist area. It felt very safe to walk around, with plenty to see and do nearby. We stayed in a room with a shared bathroom, which I was initially a bit unsure about. However, it worked out absolutely fine—the toilets were large, clean, and there was more than one, so there was never any waiting.

The only minor downside was that our room didn’t have a window. We were aware of this when booking, but it did feel a little enclosed at times.

The hotel is fantastic, great location and lovely breakfast

We booked the half day highlights of Mumbai tour. It’s hugely overpriced to start with. Our guide made the whole experience very unpleasant by rushing us constantly and by turning the tour into an exercise of India against the West. Unnecessary, unwarranted and quite upsetting.

The ethics of Abode and Subko. They put thought into every detail to make it a memorable and sustainable experience. It's in a perfect location and has everything you could need. Very beautiful. Delicious breakfast and coffee.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The design and overall style are truly unique and very tasteful – it’s definitely something special and not a typical hotel experience. The location is very central, making it easy to explore the city. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent and quite unique, with a great selection of high-quality and creative options. It was a great way to start the day. Overall, the hotel offers very good value for money. We would definitely book it again and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel with character and a special atmosphere.

Fantastic location with very friendly staff. Close to great bars and restaurants and local sites. Right in the heart of the old city. We loved it here

Gorgeous hotel and great location.

Location was perfect. Staff were amazingly helpful & friendly

Casual relaxed vibe. Friendly polite and professional staff. Nice dining and lounge area. Location is perfect next to waterfront.

Can be noisy from outside traffic. Shared toilet and low ceilings. Hotel very transparent about this in advance.

It’s a beautiful property , quaint and I love the decor .

The food options are limited but they are good enough for a breakfast

Fabulous building and location. The lobby area is place you can stay all day. The breakfast was delicious and the staff did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable and easy. I really enjoyed the overall feel of the place, it is certainly a gem.

The basic rooms are quite small and there is some noise outside.

I loved the location of the property. It was right in the heart of Colaba, extremely convenient. I loved the aesthetic of the place, very nice. Above everything the staff was extremely hospitable and welcoming. Excellent staff. Will definitely stay again next time I'm there.

Excellent location, such friendly and helpful staff, lovely cafe inside and good facilities and amenities including health & yoga focus

We loved our stay here. The location was absolutely perfect and felt safe even at night. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room was cleaned everyday and the breakfast varied everyday and was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had.

We took the cheapest room and the rooms ceiling was very low, so we had to crouch here and there.

A lovely boutique hotel, well situated in Colaba. A great attention has been placed on each detail to make your sojourn pleasant. The rooms and the common area are tastefully decorated with antique furniture, collected over the years by the owner, a worldly gentleman. The general atmosphere seems to be a reflection from another era. Sadhana, the front desk manager, was very helpful and eager to make me feel at home from the moment I stepped in. The staff at breakfast is equally friendly and take great gare to anticipate and satisfy your needs. A little gem in a bustling city, nearby the Gateway of India.

The Abode delivered on it promise re. location, food, staff and wow factor. Don't be fooled by the modest somewhat industrial entrance as it leads into a beautiful roomy boutique hotel that feels luxurious. Room and Showers were amazing.

the Abode did warn us about the Mumbai noise and they were right but no worse than New York and reminds you that you are traveling and in one of the worlds most exciting cities.

Location, staff, breakfast, clean

Price

Having just stayed in their newer property in Jaipur, this didnt quite live up the the expectations. However it is clean, comfortable, well located if you want to be in SoBo / Colaba. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is very good.

Our room had huge windows overlooking the road so noise and light in the early hours were both issues.

Great location, and very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are beautiful and everything is clean and well thought through.

The location couldn’t be beat—we were able to walk to most of the attractions in the area. The staff were amazing and very helpful throughout our stay. We booked the cheapest rate, which came with a shared toilet, though the shower was in the room. We didn’t mind this at all, nor the low beams. The staff were kind enough to give us room options with only one low beam instead of two, as my boyfriend is over 6 feet tall. He did bump his head a few times during our stay. Breakfast was exceptional!

What was a bit of a shame was that there was no window or exhaust fan, which made the room feel stuffy. The air conditioner also blew a slightly dusty smell, making sleep a bit uncomfortable.

Ethical and cool hotel

We stayed in the budget room and it exceeded expectations - the shower in the room was clean and the shared bathroom was spotless and we did not come across other users. The lack of a window is not an issue and it was quiet during our stay. There was a low beam in the room which was very well padded and added to the cosy vibe. Very good location and excellent half day tour booked through the front desk. Delicious breakfast and wonderful smiling staff! Would highly recommended

Nil

It has charm. It has a communal feeling, like a youth hostel for grown ups. The service team, particularly the front of house, were warm and helpful. The breakfasts were terrific. The location is great for Colaba and its highlights.

We wrestled a bit with the aircon in the room. It worked well, but it was loud and we couldn’t seem to adjust the fan speed to reduce the noise. A normal fan in the room would have helped.

The location and the staff were exceptional. The boutique hotel was very quaint and charming.

Beautiful place and lovely staff

Nothing to say

The location, the decor, the staff, the vibe was all 100%. This is the perfect base to explore Mumbai, everything is walking distance.

The only downside (which is completely outside of the hotels control), is the street noise outside. Abode do their best to mitigate this by providing ear plugs, eye mask etc.

Loved everything about it- the location was 10/10, excellent simple breakfast and really lovely and helpful staff who were very approachable. Would definitely recommend.

Bathroom, particularly shower, was very compact. Though didn’t really impact how we felt about the stay!

Colaba is close to many attractions of Mumbai. The hotel is a great space in the heaving humid city. Excellent breakfast, clean comfortable beds and rooms with great little touches. They welcomed us back for breakfast when we had checked out as our train was rescheduled by 3 hours. It’s our second time staying there…

All good

This is authentic Bombay heritage. The room was clean and well equipped, the staff were delightful, and the atmosphere very intimate and inviting. The location was perfect. Would definitely recommend if you dont like staying in corporate glass boxes.

The hotel is located right in the heart of Mumbai. From the outside it doesn’t look very renovated, but once inside it’s definitely a lovely small hotel. The staff is extremely kind and welcoming, the breakfast is very good, and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Overall a great stay and highly recommended.

Balancing it out with nature due to no consumption of non eco friendly materials .

Nothing

The staff were outstanding, super friendly and really make a difference to your stay.

Location for the price with the amenities is near impossible to find.

Breakfast was too bland which had too little options and was cooked according to the taste palette of foreigners.

I liked everything about the room; it was clean and tidy. The room was turned down every day; it was a nice touch to have earplugs and an eye mask each. I will be back in the future. Thank you for the perfect 2-night stay.

I loved this place - previously in Mumbai stayed at the Taj Palace which as great but preferred the Abode for the vibe and generosity of the people.

Can’t complain

Great breakfast, lovely staff, comfortable bed - great place to relax at

Amazing staff. I was ill at the time of my visit and the staff cared for my needs, and then some. All the staff members went above and beyond. Rooms were also very comfortable.

Amazing staff & hospitality, beautiful & spacious room with nice details

Nothing

Ambiance and location

None

Very comfortable hotel with comfy beds, a warm shower, a convenient location, helpful staff, and very clean toilets.

The toilets are not attached to the rooms, so you need to walk through the hallway at night to use them. There is also no natural daylight throughout the hotel. However, we were aware of both of these aspects in advance, as the hotel communicates this very transparently.
