Royal Park Hotel

The 8.2 rating on Booking.com is extremely misleading. The hotel is so hidden that even the taxi drivers were unfamiliar with it. The area is very run down. Close to the railway lines. The first room allocated to me was stuffy. I was allocated a better room after complaining. The restaurant is very mediocre. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to international travellers.

Very noisy area, ask for a room facing the road. They changed rooms for us at our request. Average hygiene (cigarette smell) Correct area between airport and India Gate Decent breakfast also. Overall nice staff

Visited in February and stayed for 4 nights, checking out in March 2019. Myself and my mother’s first trip to Mumbai and I was apprehensive about booking however on arrival was greeted with a warm welcome and efficiently checked in. Any fears disappeared .. We arrived at 8am and check in was not until 12 however we were checked in immediately and lugguage brought up to our room. The room was clean to Indian standards and small improvements can be made. Minor things like changing the pillows was done immediately with a smile. Nothing was too much. The front desk staff Ramesh and Rakesh were helpful. Be it my camcorder that needed repairing or money exchange, no query was too much for them. Subhir was tentative to our needs throughout our stay, from breakfast to finding a cab for us and ensuring we weren’t over charged anywhere (sweet). For breakfast the first morning the India size coffee cups were tiny and 3 sips, I missed my large coffee. Day 2 Subhir had larger cups ready for us, small touches that we will miss. Overall: Good - *Bed was comfortable, sheets clean. *Bathroom was very clean, we stayed in room 204. *breakfast was a buffet style, limited options but all the food served was tasty and hygienically made (we didn’t get any Mumbai belly). Breakfast you can have omelette or dosa freshly made with condiments. 1 additional option of an Indian hot breakfast (paratha stuffed flat bread, Mumbai local specialties). *we had dinner at the hotel on our last evening, the food was excellent and like a home cooked meal (all made fresh). *complentary foot and back massagers available in reception and the foot massager is needed after a day sight seeing. *soap and shampoo available in the bathroom Not so good - *the blanket throw on the bed had also seen better days *the noise from the petrol station next door is the usually Indian beep beep noise into the night but not the hotels fault and I was so exhausted most evenings I fell asleep even though I am a light sleeper. The noise is part of being in India I felt. I have attached a few pictures of the hotel as before I booked I didn’t see many photos on trip advisor and fell the hotel was not done any justice. Location isn’t sceanic however it is convienently situacted in south Mumbai and great for sight seeing as taxis as regaurly available just outside the hotel. Hotel is ideal for foreign travellers as the hygiene standards are good. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends or stay here myself again.
