Hotel Gulf

I ***** with my parents stayed at Gulf Hotel, Colaba for one night in a triple bed room. Chose this hotel given its location and so called good reviews. The hotel is located in an old building like most budget/midrange hotels of South Mumbai. It essentially starts from the 4th floor which is accessed by a tiny lift (max 2 full grown adults capacity excluding lift ***). The check in was smooth and staff starting from the ever smiling lift*** to the receptionist are courteous. However, the rooms are small, poorly lit and claustrophobic. Bathroom which is even smaller stinks. Only 1 bottle (250ml) drinking water per person is provided. Room service is lazy and quality of food is average. Food orders take ages to get delivered. Dinner consisting of simple dal chawal, egg curry, etc ordered at 9.45 pm was delivered at 11.30 pm and that too after repeated reminders. The only reason to stay in this hotel is it's location being close to the Gateway of India and Taj Hotel. The neighborhood has a touristy vibe and evenings are pleasant. In short, I would stop just short of recommending this place. I would suggest a bit more research and adding a few extra bucks per night to book a better place in the immediate vicinity.

The Gulf Hotel offers a delightful stay with its serene ambiance and attentive staff. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, ensuring a relaxing experience. The hotel's dining options serve delicious cuisine, satisfying every palate. Its convenient location makes exploring the city effortless. Overall, The Gulf Hotel provides excellent value for a memorable stay.

Pros: I think the best aspect of this hotel is its location. It is very close to Gate of India and the strand by the sea ***** which you can take an early morning walk or an evening walk. A good choice of halal restaurants are just within walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. Cons: I booked a three-people executive room which I expected to be more spacious. Overall, the hotel gives you a cramped feeling. The elevator contributes to that feeling the most as two people can barely fit in it (excluding the lift ***!). I felt the room rent to be higher than usual, perhaps because Mumbai is an expensive city. The worst aspect is the hotel's wifi connection. I had to be at a particular corner of my room to get my devices connected to the internet and use them. Lastly, if you are a frequent mall-goer, you may feel a bit disappointed because the big malls of Mumbai aren't located in this part of the city.

This hotel is in a great location for sightseeing, India Gate etc, however, i booked this hotel at short notice having been let down at short notice by another hotel. The duty ***ager hiked the price, taking advantage of the situation my son and me were in at 4.30 in the morning. The ***agement were cynical and unhelpful, the general staff were ok. The lift is a joke, it’s like something from the 1920s, the stairs are just as bad.

Perfect place and location to stay in Mumbai close to the sea and the market very good eating places around the best part is you find people from lot of countries around about the Gulf Hotel good and clean rooms value for money I will surely add to thank the staff and Samson for being concern about all services I wanted it is a great place to stay
