FabExpress Abad Inn

FabExpress Abad Inn Overview

First Impressions

Walking into FabExpress Abad Inn on the third floor of Kamal Mansion, you’ll notice it’s not trying to be something it isn’t — and honestly, that’s refreshing. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Colaba, and while the building itself has that classic Mumbai character (think older architecture with plenty of stories to tell), the hotel inside feels clean and well-maintained. The location next to Radio Club means you’re basically in the thick of things without the chaos of the main tourist strips.

The Colaba Advantage

You know what’s great about staying here? You can walk to Gateway of India in about ten minutes, but you’re tucked away enough that you won’t hear tour buses rumbling past your window at dawn. The Arthur Bunder Road location puts you close to some fantastic local eateries that most tourists never find — I mean, there’s this little place around the corner that does incredible vada pav. Couples seem to really get the appeal of this spot, rating the location 8.5, and I can see why. It’s romantic without being touristy, if that makes sense.

Your Room

The room itself is what you’d expect from a solid three-star — comfortable bed, decent-sized bathroom, and everything works as it should. Nothing fancy, but the AC is reliable (crucial in Mumbai’s humidity), and the windows actually open if you want some fresh air. The space feels bigger than typical Mumbai hotel rooms, probably because they haven’t tried to cram in unnecessary furniture. You’ll find the usual amenities like a TV and small desk, plus the WiFi actually reaches every corner of the room, which isn’t always a given in older buildings.

Morning Fuel

Breakfast here is surprisingly good — they do a full English spread that hits the spot, especially if you’re not quite ready to dive into spicy Indian breakfast options first thing in the morning. The eggs are cooked to order, and they don’t skimp on the portions. It’s served in a simple dining area, nothing elaborate, but the staff is attentive and the coffee is strong enough to get you moving. Actually, the service throughout the hotel feels personal — like they remember your name and preferences after the first day.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating this place 8.1 for location, and after spending time in the area, I totally understand why. You’re walking distance from the best parts of South Mumbai — Causeway markets, the harbor, those narrow lanes filled with art galleries and cafes. The hotel gives you a solid base without breaking the bank, and the staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay work. It’s not going to wow you with amenities, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, comfortable place to sleep in one of Mumbai’s most interesting neighborhoods.
