Apollo Guest House

Apollo Guest House Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Apollo Guest House on Colaba Causeway, you immediately get that authentic Mumbai vibe — this isn’t trying to be something it’s not. It’s a solid three-star place that knows exactly what it’s doing, and honestly, that’s refreshing. The lobby is clean and welcoming without any pretense, and the staff actually seems to care about making your stay work. You know what struck me most? How quickly they sorted out my early check-in without making it feel like I was asking for a huge favor.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about staying right on Colaba Causeway — you’re literally in the heart of everything that matters in South Mumbai. I mean, you can walk to the Gateway of India in about five minutes, and Leopold Café is practically next door (though honestly, it’s become a bit touristy). What I really loved was having Café Mondegar just around the corner for proper breakfast, and the fact that you can grab late-night snacks from street vendors right outside. The location gets a 9.5 rating from guests, and after spending time there, I totally get why couples especially love it — there’s something romantic about being able to stroll to Marine Drive for sunset without dealing with Mumbai traffic.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what you’d expect from a well-run guest house — clean, functional, and surprisingly quiet considering you’re on one of Mumbai’s busiest streets. The AC worked perfectly (crucial in Mumbai), and the bed was actually comfortable, not just adequate. Sure, it’s not spacious, but everything you need is there, including decent WiFi that didn’t cut out every ten minutes. The bathroom was spotless, which honestly matters more than fancy fixtures when you’re exploring the city all day.

Daily Rhythms

What I appreciated was how the place just works smoothly — housekeeping comes at reasonable hours, the front desk always has someone who speaks good English, and they’re genuinely helpful with directions and recommendations. They don’t have a restaurant, but with Colaba’s incredible food scene right outside, you really don’t need one. The guest house has this relaxed efficiency that makes you feel settled rather than like you’re just passing through. Plus, they handle luggage storage without any fuss if you need to explore after checkout.

Why Guests Love It

Apollo Guest House gets an 8.3 rating because it delivers exactly what it promises — a clean, comfortable base in an unbeatable location without breaking the bank. It’s the kind of place where you spend your days exploring incredible Mumbai and come back to a reliable, peaceful room at night. The staff remembers your name after a day or two, and there’s something to be said for that personal touch in a massive city like Mumbai. If you want to experience the real energy of Colaba without paying five-star prices, this place just makes sense.

Reviews of Apollo Guest House

• Ines from Austria (9/10)

  Great location and very friendly staff

• Devdatta from India (9/10)

  Very clean room and bathroom as well.
  Very easily accessible ( about 10-15 minutes walking or numerous buses from the bus stop just across the road) from CSMT and Churchgate stations. Just behind the Gateway of India, where you can stroll !! And literally tons of places to eat. It's located in the building just next to Leopold cafe.
  Very good WiFi speed.
  They don't have meals option. But with so many restaurants around, some of which open as early as 7 AM, it's absolutely no problem!
  Easy check in and check out.

  Apollo Guest House is honestly great! The place is really clean, and you can tell they put effort into keeping it that way. The staff are super friendly and helpful, which makes such a difference.
