Hotel La Sutra, Mumbai
Expert reviews
“A few blocks from seaside Carter Road in Bandra, Le Sutra bills itself as an Indian art hotel. Each of the 16 rooms has a different theme — Taal, or ‘beat,’ comes with instruments, bells and a chair fashioned from a drum — and one of the two restaurants, the Mediterranean-inspired Olive Bar & Kitchen is a longstanding go-to hangout for hip Bandra-ites.”

Lovely stay. Professional and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend
Everything was perfect. We stayed in the TAAL room. Room was spacious, clean. Our child enjoyed the stay and the breakfast. They even packed breakfast for us when we had to leave early morning for a short trip. Very professional staff.
Nothing. For us all was good.

5 star, great staff
Staff were the best - the female manager assisted us to book transport to an outstation and provided us with a fabulous packed breakfast for the journey. All before the restaurant opened for breakfast. All staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable The art throughout the hotel.

No for Thursdays
Please do not stay there on Thursdays since there is a big party in the restaurant (Olive) that is just under the hotel. I could not sleep until 5 am because the music was super loud and the whole room was tremblingly due to a buffer. It was like trying to sleep in a club. Horrible experience!! The fact that the restaurant is owned by the same company that owns the hotel is disappointing. How can you do that to your guests? How can you care so little about your guests that you don't mind running their sleep? That night called several times to reception to complain and they did not care. Luckily the reception staff the next day was resourceful and they offered me to change the room to another one far away from the restaurant, although smaller than the one I had. I could finally rest. I liked the fact that the room was always very clean and the location was close to the beach and nice restaurants around. That's why I decided to stay instead of leaving, plus they changed my room.
Apart from the terrible night on Thursday due to the loud music at the restaurant downstairs, I would remark that the reception area is very close and there is not any other common space in the whole hotel. There is no parking area neither.

Very pleasant stay with an individualistic feel.
Very interesting art hotel which is different to the norm. Rooms were large and individually styled.
Lift was awkward to use and very small.

An original boutique hotel and a great location for both business and leisure travellers
Good location -not far from Bandra and Juhu Beach, while only 25 minutes by car from the airport. A lot of nice cafes, restaurants and bars in the area within walking distance too. The rooms are clean and very originally decorated. Breakfast is simple but complete (eggs in any style, paratha, dosa etc.). Staff is very friendly and polite -special thanks to the smiling reception desk lady, who is extremely responsive. I will definitely come back! :)
Evening/Night staff can be slow even for simple requests -it's better to deal with day staff for quick responses. The A/C is a bit loud. Hooks on the wall behind the entrance door would be very helpful in the room. Wi-Fi doesn't work so well. I used my mobile hotspot instead.

Very good
Very good staff, best breakfast and very clean.
Room Tamas has not any outside wiew and it is quite small, not even sitting space for two people, there is only one chair. Enough space for luggage though. There are not towel racks in the bathroom.

Lovely boutique hotel in Khar.
The team made a huge effort to decorate our room as a surprise, we were there for our wedding anniversary.

Okayish
Every room has its own concept
Bathroom desk very small. Windows cannot be opened for fresh air, can hope only for some air from the air condition (but thats the case in entire India). We think we got cat fished as we saw during the booking on booking.com some pictures of pool. However, when we arrived we have been told the pools do not belong to the hotel. Those were pictures from the villas 2 hrs outside of Mumbai City Centre.

Pleasant
Location, staff at front desk
I had to call, and wait 30mins at airport to get my prearranged pickup. After a flight from Europe and arriving in middle of night and tired, would have expected the prearranged taxi ready to pick me up. Had called twice to hotel and once to driver to get finally picked up. Not good, considering the charge hotel of 3times price of uber. Next time I will take the prepaid taxi.

Good artsy hotel in bandra
Excellent position in bandra Staff at breakfast extremely keen to help Comfortable room with comfy beds
Ac is a bit noisy Restaurant manager could be nicer
24 October 2023
location great, would expect much more given the history of the place..
nice location, walking distance to restaurants. eggs for breakfast as per your request.
very busy at check in, had requested early check in via booking.com, the manager replied days later after checkin.. the breakfast was disappointing, day 1 full buffet spread but food was cold and the toasted sandwhiches were cold. day 2 no buffet but items were available via a menu only to be told that the dhosa/uttapa or all south indian starters are not available. the ac in the room 308 points directly onto the bed and is not adjustable. requested for softer pillows and was given the same pillow. they are all very hard and overfilled.

Authentic Indian Art Hotel
Staying at Le Sutra was a wonderful experience. Every room has its own signature design. Ours was the Shuddhi themed room and it was very comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in the lively Khar neighborhood. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. On our last day we booked a treatment at their in-house spa; a relaxing way to end our Mumbai trip.
To our surprise, the restaurant kitchen was being renovated during our stay. Breakfast was served in the art gallery and this felt a little bit improvised.

Good stay. Will be back.
Good: A) the bed is very comfortable, the facilities are clean B) the front desk is very responsive and the staff very helpful (helping walk with me with an umbrella outside, Sivam helped me with luggage, etc) C) breakfast and coffee at Out of the Blue is excellent - Boris was especially helpful D) love the little bhel/nut samplers with every turn down service. Very thoughtful! Hope that helps
Can be improved: 1) the lighting switches in Prakriti (room 307) are very very confusing. I finally just press various buttons just to see what happens - a lot of trial and error. I think the labels and instructions could be better. 2) the AC in Prakriti is really really cold. Even if I raise the temperature to 20. And the fan is definitely noisy 3) I had asked for a couple of clothes (jeans, tshirt) to be laundered (I was expecting them to be INR 75 each) but they came back dry cleaned (at INR 250 each). Apparently there isn’t a wash-and-iron option, which I didn’t quite get. That price difference felt like a ripoff. Please let your clients know that you ONLY dry clean - it’s important information.

No value for money. You are paying 5 star rates for 3 star experience.
the uniqueness of each room and concept is excellent.
Breakfast. Very basic nothing to talk about.

Fabulous
This boutique hotel does not have a flashy facade or reception but inside our room was very spacious, well-presented and comfortable. Each room has its own theme featuring artwork and ornaments and lifted the whole feel, even though there was no outside view. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and their interactions felt genuine as opposed to other hotels where the staff seem to be just hoping for tips. Because the hotel wasn't overrun with guests, we enjoyed a very personalised service during breakfast which offered a selection of Indian and Western foods (eggs, dosa, cereal, etc).
As a tourist, the hotel's location wasn't so interesting. Although it was close to the beach there wasn't too much else to see without taking a rickshaw to Hill Rd (approx 10 mins) for some shopping or the like. One of the biggest drawdowns was there was an unfortunate dried fish odour permeating the whole area near the hotel. This affected the outdoors of their restaurant which means we preferred to dine inside to avoid the smell. For the most part, this didn't affect the rooms but it was a bit of a put off to what was otherwise an enjoyable stay (and wouldn't stop us from going back again).
