What guests think
Grand Hotel Mumbai - Ballard Estate, Fort is a heritage hotel in a central, walkable Fort location, with generally comfortable, spacious rooms, though some in-room amenities show their age and some air conditioners are old or noisy.
Several reviews note limited hot water hours, and some rooms would benefit from refurbishment or have small or frosted windows. Breakfast is decent to good but with a modest selection, and the on-site dining room is convenient. Service is widely described as friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported issues such as double-charging, poor respect for do-not-disturb signs, or confusing charges. Expect historic character and a convenient base with some trade-offs in modern comforts.

I had a wonderful experience during my stay in Mumbai, especially at a historic property located in the Fort area. Everything was great overall, but I was quite surprised to find that the hotel didn’t have any electricity backup—that's definitely something to consider. Otherwise, everything was good. Looking forward to seeing you soon. By the way, there’s one more thing I’ll share with you via email. Thanks!

The hotel is not bad, but the rooms need renovation. The elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor and you have to walk up to the 4th floor with your luggage. The rooms are clean but they need a total change of everything inside. I wouldn't stay here again if I had another choice. The breakfast is monotonous - the same every day. The staff was friendly and helpful.

This hotel is an old hotel that could use an update. With that being said it was quite comfortable to stay in. The room was clean and in a great location. The staff was very good and the young lady who was the concierge was exceptional. She helped set up a tour for us when our hired guide did not show.

i booked a room for my Mother and Sister travelling together . Both said hotel was clean friendly and front desk extremely helpful , took them on tour of property even though they reached hotel late at 9.00 pm from VT train terminal.. Room service ordered and chicken Manchurian with haka noodles very tasty . All in all VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. Definitely a class above when compared to all the crappy service that is synonymous with Bombay hotels.. Keep up the good work and appreciate all the amenities that you have offered. NAMASTE !!

-In a quieter part of Mumbai, 10-15 walk to restaurants, a supermarket, the action. Safe but quiet at night. -No decor on the walls or in my room, dull, no vibe. -Asked front desk for metro directions to Dhobi Ghat. Given answer to take metro to X, then at X take a taxi to Dhobi Ghat. So I just took a 300 rupee taxi since it seemed I had to eventually take one anyway. Once there, I discovered the metro goes exactly to Dhobi Ghat. I took the metro back downtown, paying only 5 rupees. - charged 70 rupees for room service aka “service charge.” Was told “it’s for the boys.” How presumptuous to tack on a tip. Then I was taxed on the delivered beer (ok ) but taxed on the “service charge” as well. So tacky. Then when checking out, the next crew told me I had a bill for the above mentioned beer. -Room was clean although a pillow was missing a pillow case, both nights. AC worked but then didn’t, ceiling fan was enough. - asked for a taxi, non AC, to the airport at 5:00 am. Told the price was 900 rupees, really? A taxi without AC? Hours later. I apped Uber for the very first time, paying 741 rupees in a car with AC. Perhaps the high priced cab is not the fault of the hotel, but I should of been informed of other options as I’m certain 900 rupees would of seemed a high price to anyone familiar/living in Mumbai. Breakfast was ok, only noticed a small sign the second morning stating cappuccinos, americanos, personal omelettes etc were available for the asking.

All in all, our stay was very good. Not all the bed linen was completely clean on arrival, but it was replaced immediately. In general, the whole staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection is small but sufficient. Some renovation work is currently being carried out, but if, like us, you are out and about in the city during the day, you don't notice anything.

I have stayed here twice now, it is a heritage hotel and in the Fort area which is where we like to be in Mumbai. The service is great, the rooms are mostly spacious and nicely decorated in period. The hotel only has a few rooms with king beds, the rest have single beds so if you book a king you will probably be disappointed when you get to the hotel. The air conditioners are old window mount units, the one in our room was like a jet engine, there is no way we could sleep with it on due to the noise and the controls did not work properly. The fridge we had to turn off due to the noise as well.

Secondly: I fell sick and posted don't disturb sign on door, the staff wake me up 2 times, knocking and ringing doorbell.

Trevligt gammalt hotell med anor. Många material som är bevarade och uppdaterade. Läget är perfekt. Vi kom med tåg till CST och kunde enkelt promenera till hotellet trots att vi kom efter att det blivit mörkt.

It is walking distance to the things i wanted to see so that was great. The value for the price was excellent. Also, the 24 hour check in was wonderful since i arrived about 4 in the morning from a 13 hour flight. Would definitely stay again. In addition, there is a wonderful little restaurant and coffee bar right next door called Bombay Coffee House which is very convenient as well.

The hotel is in a good location and has some history, but had no doubt seen better days. The bed was comfortable, although the room only offered a small, frosted window, v so I could only tell if it was day or night and one what the weather was like if I heard pouring rain. The staff are helpful and welcoming

Located in the quieter Fort area but close enough to the tourist areas. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. AC slightly noisy and breakfast was a bit limited and rooms looking tired. Overall it was a good stay

This is an old style hotel in a quiet environment within a walking distance from Gate of India and close to main railway station. Staff very nice and cooperative. Good breakfasts but focused on local people. Do not make use of their offer for airport transfer as it is at least 5 times more expensive than prepaid taxi or Uber.

i booked a room for my Mother and Sister travelling together . Both said hotel was clean friendly and front desk extremely helpful , took them on tour of property even though they reached hotel late at 9.00 pm from VT train terminal.. Room service ordered and chicken Manchurian with haka noodles very tasty . All in all VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. Definitely a class above when compared to all the crappy service that is synonymous with Bombay hotels.. Keep up the good work and appreciate all the amenities that you have offered. NAMASTE !!

-In a quieter part of Mumbai, 10-15 walk to restaurants, a supermarket, the action. Safe but quiet at night. -No decor on the walls or in my room, dull, no vibe. -Asked front desk for metro directions to Dhobi Ghat. Given answer to take metro to X, then at X take a taxi to Dhobi Ghat. So I just took a 300 rupee taxi since it seemed I had to eventually take one anyway. Once there, I discovered the metro goes exactly to Dhobi Ghat. I took the metro back downtown, paying only 5 rupees. - charged 70 rupees for room service aka “service charge.” Was told “it’s for the boys.” How presumptuous to tack on a tip. Then I was taxed on the delivered beer (ok ) but taxed on the “service charge” as well. So tacky. Then when checking out, the next crew told me I had a bill for the above mentioned beer. -Room was clean although a pillow was missing a pillow case, both nights. AC worked but then didn’t, ceiling fan was enough. - asked for a taxi, non AC, to the airport at 5:00 am. Told the price was 900 rupees, really? A taxi without AC? Hours later. I apped Uber for the very first time, paying 741 rupees in a car with AC. Perhaps the high priced cab is not the fault of the hotel, but I should of been informed of other options as I’m certain 900 rupees would of seemed a high price to anyone familiar/living in Mumbai. Breakfast was ok, only noticed a small sign the second morning stating cappuccinos, americanos, personal omelettes etc were available for the asking.

Firstly, double charged room for my friend, really embarrassing. I paid her room day before. Secondly, did not respect "don't disturb sign" on door, knocking and ringing on door waking me up, really annoying when sleeping while sick. No wine, this is "hard liquor" according to hotel.

The hotel is not bad, but the rooms need renovation. The elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor and you have to walk up to the 4th floor with your luggage. The rooms are clean but they need a total change of everything inside. I wouldn't stay here again if I had another choice. The breakfast is monotonous - the same every day. The staff was friendly and helpful.

All in all, our stay was very good. Not all the bed linen was completely clean on arrival, but it was replaced immediately. In general, the whole staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection is small but sufficient. Some renovation work is currently being carried out, but if, like us, you are out and about in the city during the day, you don't notice anything.

Perfect location to visit south of Mumbai. A soft renovation of rooms could enhance the experience. Staff at restaurant very friendly. Breakfast basic. Price per night in the upper range, but perhaps typical for Mumbai. Other places in India seem to have lower prices.
