Stayed at Highway Residency, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
Mumbai was stinky, dirty and on the whole we found it not to be the most interesting place in India. There are much nicer places in India to spend your time and money in. Ellora caves and Ajanta caves which are about 6 hours from Mumbai are beautiful.

Stayed at Taj Mahal Palace and Tower - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
Rest Indigo just behind the Taj is a very hip bar downstairs and a great Italian inspired rest on the second floor. Ask for a table on the terrace.

Stayed at Ambassador, Mumbai,The - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
A good place to use as a base for a short stay in Mumbai since everywhere is easily accessible: emporiums, 'Fashion Street' (just up the road), Chowpatty Beach, the maidans, etc. We're not cricket-lovers, but the ground is opposite.

I went to attend a conference, though it was my third visit to Mumbai. It's a very nice place with good and friendly people. Best thing of this place is that you will never get lost, cause you ask any person, anywhere in Mumbai, about anything you will get the instant positive reply to that with a smile. Many places to visit, Essel world, Water kingdom, Elephanta caves, beaches, big malls with the theatres, planetarium etc and but for me the one day city tour was the best.

Right next to the Suba is a great jewelry store. The food at Indigo is amazing. One of the best bars I visited in Mumbai was Olives on Thursday nights.

Andheri and Bandara West would be 2 areas recommended for shopping. You would need to bargain as the offered price is always very high. There is a government sanction Emporium on the right of the hotel entrance (as you exit the main entrace). For business travellers, Suba Palace would be far if your clients are situated in Andheri or Woorley.

Stayed at Supreme, The Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
I did a prilgrimage tour, first shopping in Mumbai, train journey to Varanasi, then by road to Chanderwar, Gorakpur, Lucknow, Kaunpur, Agra, Jaipur, Brindavin, Rishikesh & Delhi. Some hotels were good with catering with hotwater and heating in the room, most were not. Nearly all hotels only providing minimum bedding even the temperature was below 4 degrees at night.

Stayed at Le Royal Meridien - Mumbai - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
We did a lot of shopping in a one stop shop called Panneri in Andheri. If you are the fan of Indian dresses and you have a wife who likes plastic money then you will find the designs & prices of Indian dresses at exceptional value in Mumbai.
Mumbai is a place to eat a lot of different kinds of food, we found that eating outside of Le Meridian was value for money.
If you have limited time avoid going south to the heart of Mumbai as the traffic is a pain anytime of day.
If you have a connection flight to catch and need a place to spend the night or evening in a relaxed atmosphere then Le Meridian is the place to be.

Stayed at Suba Palace, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
Visit Prince of Wales museum. I ate in 3 very good restaurants : Khyber, Mahesh Lunch Home, and Status. Found Bombay to be very interesting, but shop alone. If a tour guide takes you to a shop, you may be paying up to 30% more. Take time to shop before you buy big ticket items like carpets and jewelry.
