Bentleys Hotel

Bentleys Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Bentleys Hotel on Oliver Road, you immediately get that “hidden gem” feeling — it’s tucked away just enough to feel like a local secret, but close enough to everything that matters in Mumbai. The building itself has this old-world charm that somehow works perfectly in the chaos of Colaba, and honestly, the location alone makes this three-star property punch way above its weight. I mean, you’re literally steps from the Gateway of India and the Taj, but without paying those insane heritage hotel prices.

The Colaba Advantage

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to practically everything worth seeing in South Mumbai. The Causeway is right there for shopping and street food, Leopold Café is a five-minute stroll, and you know what? The ferry to Elephanta Caves leaves from basically around the corner. What really surprised me though was how quiet the room was despite being in such a bustling area. The staff clearly knows the neighborhood inside out, and they’ll point you toward the best local spots that most tourists never find.

Practical Comforts

Look, this is a well-appointed property, but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and actually quite spacious for Mumbai standards. The AC works well (crucial during summer), and the Wi-Fi is reliable enough for video calls back home. The bathrooms are modern and well-maintained — honestly, I’ve stayed in pricier places with worse facilities. There’s a small restaurant on-site that serves decent Indian and Continental food, though with Colaba’s incredible dining scene right outside, you’ll probably want to explore.

Value and Service

The staff here really makes the difference — they’re genuinely helpful without being pushy, and they seem to remember guests’ preferences. I noticed they’re particularly good with directions and local recommendations, which is gold when you’re trying to navigate Mumbai for the first time. The front desk helped me sort out a taxi to the airport at 5 AM without any fuss, and they even stored my luggage after checkout so I could explore one last afternoon.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem drawn to this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having such an incredible location without the tourist circus of the bigger hotels. You can walk hand-in-hand along the waterfront at sunset, grab dinner at one of Colaba’s intimate restaurants, and still be back in your comfortable room within minutes. The 9.4 location rating from recent guests really tells the story here — sometimes being in the right spot matters more than having a rooftop pool or marble lobby. For the price point, you’re getting access to one of Mumbai’s most vibrant neighborhoods with all the essentials covered well.

Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Mumbai before cricket finals fill Worli skyline lounges and seaside promenades.

Reviews of Bentleys Hotel

• Creanna from New Zealand (8/10)

  The location is perfect! You're based on a beautiful quiet residential street, but within a 3 minute walk around the corner you are in the busy shopping market area. Fantastic shopping and eating places. A 6 mins walk to Leopold's cafe. Head the other direction and take a leisurely walk through tree lined streets to the waterfront & Gate Way of India 10 mins . We had a family room, spacious, air con, and ensuite.+ balcony. Tea and coffee in your room.Breakfast was toast and condiments delivered to your room. Staff were amazing and very honest, helpful. Always felt safe . Great value for money. If you want perfection go and pay $$$$$ elsewhere. This property is more than adequate for a few days stay.
