Astoria Hotel

The location is nice, staff is helpful.

Not value for money. Rooms are simple, not great.

All was good

Non

Location is just a step away from the subway, lots of restaurants nearby, walkable distance to Marine Drive and some beautiful colonial buildings around. Not too far from Trident or Oberoi hotel if one wish to avail the bar or have a sumptuous breakfast. Newspaper provided in the morning. Staff were helpful in everything we asked. Reception arranged for an Uber taxi to drive us to Mumbai Airport rather than having the regular taxi (black/yellow cab). Uber is cheaper,uses newer taxi with functioning seatbelts while the regular cab is more expensive, not have air conditioning, and seatbelts not working or non-existent. Breakfast at the hotel is sufficient and chef is there to whip up an omelette or dosa. If booking this hotel, request for higher floor facing the back and not the street in front due to noise level. Shops and fruit vendors a few steps away from the hotel.

Was booked to a room facing the side of the hotel and closer to the street below. After discussing noise level with the reception, was transferred one floor up to room facing the other side. Room more quiet and spacious. Shower area in the first room we had was about 1.5 inch lower and this could be a safety issue for falling while using bathroom sink.
