The Ambassador, Marine Drive, Mumbai

All good. But generally windowless room for me

Room was very good, AC worked great and kept room nice and cool. Every thing worked and very good rain shower head. I would definitely stay here when I am in Bombay.

Went out of their way to make sure the stay was comfortable The staff were very friendly and helpful Listened and right away executed on anything shred

I usually stay at five-stars when I’m in Mumbai, splurging a little bit while still finding a good deal online that fits within my budget. But Mumbai hotel prices have gotten out of control and this time they were unusually high at my usual spots, so I booked The Ambassador (a slightly dated 4 Star) instead — and I’m genuinely glad I did. The location, right off Marine Drive, was perfect for me. The room/suite was spacious, clean, and tastefully done, with a sense of quiet elegance rather than flash. The bathroom was excellent, and the shower had fantastic water pressure, which honestly makes or breaks a stay for me. What really stood out was the classic Indian hotel vibe. The Ambassador may seem a bit dated in terms of design, but I actually like that they don’t seem to be trying to imitate a modern Western luxury brand — to me, that’s exactly its strength. Think dark wood, traditional artwork, bas-relief details, and general old-world charm. It felt nostalgic in the best way, reminding me of the heyday of 1980s and 1990s Bombay — refined, confident, and unpretentious. Breakfast was good and satisfying — fresh, tasty, and well prepared, though the variety was a bit limited. Service throughout the hotel was warm and attentive. Overall, for the price point, this was excellent value. A comfortable, classy stay with character and history. I would happily stay again and recommend it to friends looking for something authentic and well run rather than cookie-cutter luxury.

In need for some serious maintenance + upgrade Pros: - Very courteous and friendly staff - Decent breakfast spread / food - Comfortable and clean beds. Decently sized rooms - Superb location for access to all of Mumbai by train, metro, cab & bus. Walkable to major attractions. Cons: - Terrible state of bathrooms. No ventilation fans. BLACK MOLD in the shower. Woke up with headaches & insisted on changing rooms asap - Bathrooms are 2 levels higher than the floor in the room! Needed an additional stool to get in. Very Strange. - Room Tariff does not justify the dated rooms. I guess they charge for the location. Special mention to Mr.Naren for helping me out with change of rooms. Very kind and accommodating gentleman. Thank you sir.
