Wonderful!
We had a wonderful overnight stay at the hotel. The entire staff is caring and professional, with a warm, family-like vibe. The rooms are small but cozy, modern, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need, including tea and coffee bags, cups, a kettle, a safe, and even ironing facilities. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and very satisfying, with a wide variety of options ranging from Indian to more Western, along with fresh fruit, juices, and a very tasty cappuccino! They also offer a comfortable lounge for early check-in or late check-out, and the staff remained attentive and helpful even after we had checked out. It was a short stay in Mumbai, and this hotel’s location, right in the heart of a vibrant and safe neighborhood, made it even better. I definitely recommend this place for solo travelers or married couples (note: couples must be married), and I’ll gladly return if I travel to Mumbai again. Thank you to the entire team for your warmth and professionalism!

I could live here.
The staff 100/100 Made us laugh and smile. Nothing was too much for them to help make your stay perfect, even running to the shops to buy us some lungi`s to get into some temples as we had no long pants. Casa was brilliant and all sorts of shapes in the coffee he made and Rejesh made us feel like family. Peter was always there for anything that I needed to do such as make a call and he just made translated it all and made it so relaxing. Thank you to everyone that works there you was brilliant.
Nothing to report. it was all 100% excellent it really was. We nearly booked to stay at the Taj palace, but so glad we didnt as it was full of tourists around the pool when we went to see it.

Great location, fantastic stay ,
Everything, we were so happy with the staff and room that we extended for extra nights. All of the staff are exceptional in every way. We stayed here 15 years ago and were impressed. The rooms are spotlessly clean , beds comfortable and the breakfast is fantastic as is the room service food. ALL staff are polite helpful and friendly, a lot of hotels we have stayed in could take a lesson from this hotel. Highly recommend and would most certainly stay again . Thank you. Denise and Mark
Nothing not to like.

Great place to stay in central Mumbai.
Excellent location. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Room was a little cramped but quite adequate. Furniture and bathroom a little dated.

Affordable comfort with heartfelt hospitality
A very affordable hotel, with exceptionally friendly staff and perfect hospitality in the Fort area of Mumbai, a busy business district. One can walk to the Gateway of India and take public transport to various areas of interest all around the bustling city.
It's had to fault anything. Rooms are small, but if you know Mumbai real estate, you would appreciate whatever ypu are getting for the room rates you are paying.

Perfect for a stay in Mumbai near Gayeway to India and Fort
Always happy to stay here when in Mumbai. The room is in the Heritage wing and had a balcony which was welcome. The place is well staffed.
The cooked breakfast needs a menu to choose from so it’s easier to communicate to the cook, fried eggs, omlette etc. But this is a small issue.

Great service.
Service. The excellent fresh breakfast.
Booked a taxi to the airport. Told it would be a AC car. It wasn’t. Old black and yellow cab. Uber would be better.

The hotel staff is very polite and helpful, the breakfast was great. The room was quiet.
Too soft beds for our taste. I requested quiet room, the downside was there was not possible to open the window. The room and bathroom felt quite wet,we had to use ventilator a lot.

Really enjoyed my stay. But not the reason above for breakfast
Friendly staff and great location
The breakfast area is just not large enough for the people it accommodates. We couldn’t sit together 2 out of 3 breakfasts. And had to sit and wait for seats to become available which then meant that you could not have a relaxing breakfast as you had to eat quickly to free the table for someone else .

The service is worth any inconvenience
The staff was amazing and so kind! The breakfast has a great selection and also a coffee machine :) it's right in the city center, which is also good.
It was linda noisty and the room was rather small. The hotel itself is a hit dated and the shower just didn't work properly (the big and small shower head poured water simultaneously)

I enjoyed staying here, and will certainly stay here again the next time I vist Bombay.
The hotel is located in a lively area, with lots of South Bombay landmarks within reasonable walking distance, and many restaurants and shops nearby. The room was clean and comfortable. Wifi was fast and reliable. The staff are among the best I've encountered- warm, friendly, and efficient. This is a place with heart and soul- the type that's becoming harder to encounter these days.

We arrived as strangers and left as friends. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and so hospitable.
The hospitality of every single member of staff was exceptional. Complimentary breakfast and cups of tea were very welcome. Deluxe room was a good size and excellent mid range hotel in great location for sightseeing.
It’s a 3 star hotel but overall a very good comfortable stay.

Handsome stay in Handsome House
Great location on a quiet Kala Ghoda street with entertaining cats. Staff are very friendly and will help you out with taxis, bar suggestions and directions. Check out the Dali-esque detail on the outside of the Residency, formerly Handsome House. Breakfast is good and includes rotating regional specials like vada pav and pav bhaji as well as a mean masala dosa on request.
Some of the room fittings are starting to age. Room was quite small, but you don't get much for your money in south Mumbai. The breakfast room only has seven tables so is often full which means waiting a while.

well located hotel
I found the location to be excellent - within walking distance of many downtown attractions, which made exploring very convenient. The room had a comfortable bed The staff were welcoming and helpful, but I think more attention to hygiene would improve the experience - for example, handling cookies,inside the cups or forming the tissues with bare hands didn't feel very sanitary. On the plus side, breakfast had a good variety of options, which was a nice way to start the day
renewed hotel but still some issue with facilities ie hairdryer that they changed or ac didn't work first , ask technician to fix it.. narrow corridor, which often had both clean and used linens/towels left along the way the towel quality and cleanliness raised some concerns. small roo

Highly recommended mid range hotel - great location and comfy beds
Exceptional service at reception. We stayed in the annex, which had large, comfortable room, with a comfy bed. Location was great - walkable to Colaba and the attractions, nice/safe part of the city. Characterful old style hotel.
Breakfast room/restaurant was small - we had to wait for a table for breakfast

Breakfast is great and the club room is well decorated. Location is ideal for travel on local trains to the suburbs

Location is great and the staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms are adequate, though a little small and starting to show some wear and tear. Can be a wait for a table for breakfast at peak times.

A wonderful stay in the heart of Fort
Such a nice stay at Residency Hotel Fort! The staff are all so so lovely - I felt completely at home and looked after from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast room is a beautiful place to sit in the morning, and the Indian breakfast options were absolutely delicious - some of the best dosas I've eaten in 7 weeks of travelling around India! Thank you for a lovely stay, I hope to be back one day.
