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.”

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.

Very good

Breakfast was good and a nice option to have eggs cooked different ways. I really liked that the hotel supported animal welfare, used a female empowering taxi firm and supported the blind through their choice of a massage company training the visually impaired. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Beautiful hotel in a great central location

Great location in Colaba district, beautiful rooms in an old renovated building and comfortable beds. Staff was very helpful and profesional.

It can get a bit noisy at night since the adjacent road is very busy even at night, luckily they provide earplugs :)

Amazing!

The staff were super friendly & helpful. Breakfast was gorgeous and the little extra details and touches made it feel homely.

The shared toilet - as it was a little further from my room than I would have liked and didn’t realise this prior. However, they were clean and well kept.

Best place to stay in Mumbai!

The location was perfect. Staff were incredibly helpful.

Low ceilings and beams on 2nd floor took a little getting used to, but were not an issue.

Beautiful and kind hotel in Colaba

Actually I was a bit sceptical before my stay at Abode but it overreach my expectations. The hotel is beautiful decorated and the room is cozy. Good breakfast also and nice to meet other travellers. The staff was very helpful. I even had the opportunity to have a shower because I had a late flight. Thank you for the pleasant stay Abode!

The toilet is shared but also clean and there are enough. Actually, it is even better to have a shared toilet than the shower beside the toilet (what is the case in many hotels in India)

Great staff, room and guide

Great staff and a beautiful heritage building to be staying at. The bed was so comfy I had a deep restful sleep which helped me ease into my travel in Mumbai. I joined their early morning tour and my guide, Mr Vasu did a great job bringing me to the different spots and sharing about the culture and history of the morning markets. Thank you Abode Bombay for the complimentary upgrade of my room, I had a wonderful stay!

I couldn't find a hairdryer in the room and could not reach the staff. But it's not a big issue.

Decent rooms, reasonable value, outstanding staff.

The staff are lovely, very accommodating, friendly and helpful. They make every effort to help you and do little things like give you indian treats at night to make your experience more enjoyable. The breakfast is reasonable quality with your choice of either continental or indian. The rooms are reasonably clean. Location is reasonable, 10min walk to the Mumbai gateway. Not much else in the area though. Food options are limited to a few good restaurants. Shared toilet facilities are reasonable. There's 3 toilets that are kept in a clean state. I usually dont stay in places with shared facilities but these were fine and not a deal breaker. Rooms are fairly small but you didn't book this place to spend that much time in it did you?

The building is quite old and the bathrooms are particularly dated. They're usable and dont stink, but are very moldy and the water doesn't drain well so you're limited to a short shower or risk overflowing the water into your bedroom.

Loved every minute and aspect, will hopefully return

This hotel literally thinks of everything, if you don't have it they will, or will find it The staff could not have been anymore pleasant or helpful. Even had a coffee made for us when leaving at 5am for the airport.

You get what you pay for.

Stayed at the Abode for 1 night and 2 days. The hotel staff were courteous, resourceful and always on hand. Nilesh was particularly helpful and understanding - making sure our stay was pleasant, and wanted for nothing. The decor is quirky, warm and inviting, and the cozy lobby area makes for a great communal space.

Just be prepared for the distance from the airport.

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Mumbai.

We stayed in the cheapest room and it was a fantastic experience. The staff, the breakfast, the water pressure, the location location location.

There are low bars and you do have to watch out, but you’ll be fine!
