Sea Palace Hotel - Near Gateway of India

The hotel is excellent location for exploring Mumbai. I paid extra to have a sea view. Was hoping for double bed. The twin room beds were small and not very comfortable. Room pretty basic. Staff very helpful. Overall for price not bad but not great.

We decided to stay in this hotel after reading a recommendation in the French travel guide "Le routard". After reading some negative reviews I messaged the manager Mr Raj to ascertain if the hotel would be a decent place to stay. It has after all a perfect location just behind the Taj hotel and Gateway to India. The price was 3800 rupees per night including air con. Mr Raj assured us that the hotel was perfectly normal and that he would personally supervise the preparation of our room. Me Raj seems to believe that buttering up his guests will allow him to get away with lying and charging an exorbitant amount for what I can only refer to as a "rat hole". 3800 rupees is around 40 euros..a small fortune in India. Upon arrival we discovered a tiny, shabby, totally run down and filthy room. We made the decision to stay since we had no guarantee to find anything better in the neighbourhood at that price. Everything in the room was old broken or dirty. We had a small fridge, probably never cleaned. Only the ground floor of this building is occupied and clearly Mr Raj has preferred not to spend any of his hotel income on cleaning or repair. The air con did not work properly, so we were either freezing or sweltering. Our bed sheets had holes and stains on them. To prove that I am not exaggerating in the slightest I took lots of photos so you can judge for yourselves.

Such a great place to stay!! The room was great value for money, clean and comfortable. Raja was absolutely amazing making our stay so smooth sailing and helping us in any way shape or form! We cannot thank him enough! Would definitely recommend

It was great experience in hotel. Near to gateway of India clean washroom. Hotel Staff is really helpful and location is very amazing. Price is reasonable. Market place lots of restaurants are there .

Experience is good. Marina cafe experience was brilliant. Cloudy weather , Night time sea view amazing Great service by Rahul.I love Kerala roast prawns . With garlic naan.Excellent suggestion by Manager.

Was pleasantly surprised by the tariff. And then woefully disappointed by the property which was being neglected; No toiletries, Plastic spoons with tea/coffee, No exhaust in toilet, Unmanageable AC settings, .... Very Poor Room Service. Room refrigerator empty! Overall, a budget stay at super premium location with unpleasant experience!

I am telling you whole story. I went to Mumbai with my friends and want to stay near by taj hotel so we choose this property. We booked for a one night and next morning my two friends are coming for just Take a shower but hotel owner refused for that. I told that We will not booking your property next time and they will be like we don’t care . We have so many guests, They indirectly told that go to hell. Very Rude behaviour of staff. And Washroom is very dirty when we request for cleaning they said it already clean. So service is also very poor. Very bad experience. I suggest that don’t book here.

I booked Aga Begs because of itd fantastic location, which is close to both the Gate of India and the bustling Colaba Market. The hotel itself is located amongst the historic district with many beautiful buildings. And while the hotel itself is housed on a rather old-looking building, the Deluxe Double Room that I stayed in is surprisingly very well-kept.

Its always tough to choose a place in Coloba especially when you are first timer to Mumbai. After a lot of search in aggregator websites we went to book 2 suites and 1 room for a family trip. The location is spot-in, just on the shore walkable distance from Gateway of India. We were lucky to get room with a view onlooking the Arabian sea (posted the pic as well). Budget wise its little over my expectations. Food is fine.
