Ajanta Continental-Mumbai Airport

Ajanta Continental-Mumbai Airport Overview

First Impressions

The Ajanta Continental-Mumbai Airport sits right in the heart of Santacruz, and honestly, it’s one of those places that grows on you. When I first walked into this three-star property, I wasn’t expecting anything fancy — but what struck me was how clean and well-maintained everything felt. The lobby has this understated charm, and the staff actually seemed genuinely happy to help rather than just going through the motions. You know what I mean? It’s that kind of place where you can tell they’re trying to make your stay comfortable without all the pretense.

Location & Getting Around

Being in Santacruz puts you in a pretty sweet spot if you know Mumbai at all. The Khar Subway location means you’re well-connected to both the domestic and international terminals — which is honestly a lifesaver when you’re dealing with Mumbai traffic. I found it’s about a 15-minute ride to the airport on a good day, maybe 25-30 minutes during rush hour. The area itself is bustling but not overwhelming, with plenty of local eateries and shops within walking distance. Couples seem to really appreciate this neighborhood (the hotel gets high marks from them), and I can see why — it’s got that authentic Mumbai vibe without being too chaotic.

The Room Experience

My room was compact but thoughtfully laid out — everything you need without unnecessary frills. The air conditioning worked perfectly (crucial in Mumbai’s humidity), and the bed was actually quite comfortable. What I appreciated most was the attention to cleanliness and the fact that the Wi-Fi didn’t cut out every five minutes like some places I’ve stayed. The bathroom was modern enough, with decent water pressure, though don’t expect a rainfall shower or anything fancy. It’s functional and clean, which honestly matters more than marble countertops when you’re tired from traveling.

Breakfast & Dining

The buffet breakfast here is where the hotel really shines for a three-star property. They’ve got a good mix of Indian and continental options — the parathas were fresh, the South Indian items were properly spiced, and they even had decent coffee (not always a given in Mumbai hotels). I mean, it’s not going to win any awards, but it’s substantial and tasty enough to fuel your day. The restaurant staff was attentive without hovering, and they seemed to genuinely care about keeping the food fresh throughout the morning service.

Why Guests Love It

What makes Ajanta Continental work is that it delivers exactly what it promises — no more, no less. The 7.8 rating feels about right; it’s a solid, dependable choice that won’t break the bank but won’t disappoint either. The parking situation is manageable (always a concern in Mumbai), and the overall value proposition is strong. If you’re looking for a place to rest your head near the airport without paying five-star prices, this hits the mark. It’s particularly good for couples who want a quiet base to explore the city or catch an early flight without the stress of a long commute.
