Avoid this Hotel. Can't beleive the prices we paid. Staff were helpful but the place has paper thin walls, terrible food and charges a fortune. more

This hotel is marketed as a 4 star hotel. It may be by Mumbai standards but certainly not by Western or my standards! The hotel is vastly over priced and service is mediocre to poor. Reception staff are surly and unhelpful. We had booked this hotel on the strength of photos and their inital willingness to help by email. The... more

Mumbai hotels are expensive and finding availability for rooms can be tough. The Fariyas has a good location in the shadow of the Taj Hotel just off the waterfront of Marine Drive. When the President and Oberoi were booked out, I stayed there for a one night business trip. At $200 per night it's not cheap, but compared to the... more

Given our budget, we expected this to be an average, clean hotel. The hotel lobby and atrium are in need of a makeover---quite dark and unappealing. Mainly, I rate this is hotel as 'terrible' based on two things: 1) the first room we received had mould on half the bathroom celing as well as along two of the walls, with... more

Based on international standards, this is a 3-star but for a developing country, you could call it a 4-star. Pricing-wise too, for Mumbai, where 5-star hotels are $400+, we got an executive club room and a suite for $200 each. Obviously this is overpriced based on international standards, but for Mumbai it was okay. The positives are the staff, the... more

We stayed at this hotel during a conference. Having compared experiences with other conference-goers I feel confident I made the right choice! The rooms are small, but ours was never less than impeccably clean. Newspapers were brought to the room every morning and chocolate every evening. All our calls to reception were handled immediately and the staff responded positively to... more

Both myself and my wife stayed here in early October. Check in was efficient and the guys on reception were very couteous and friendly. We were then escorted to our room with "A Sea View". The room was very dissapointing as it smelled of damp and plaster was crumbling off the walls. Having said that it was large and had... more

We stayed here as part of a school tour. The hotel is fairly basic- rooms fairly small for the grade of hotel. There was a lot of building work going on the third floor where our room was which made getting over jet lag a bit of a problem as noisy hammering went on for long hours. Food was OK... more

We really enjoyed our experience here. I did notice though that they were in the middle of a pretty major re-furb while we were there which may explain some of the negative reviews. Remember in india, if you've negotiated a very cheap deal at their hotel, you will be treated accordingly and this is reflective in : type of room,... more
