Hotel Harbour View Colaba

Hotel Harbour View Colaba Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Harbour View Colaba, you immediately get that feeling of stepping into old Mumbai — and I mean that in the best possible way. This three-star property sits right in the heart of Colaba, tucked into Kerawalla Chambers on P.J. Ramchandani Marg, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The lobby isn’t flashy or over-designed, but there’s something genuinely welcoming about the place that puts you at ease after navigating Mumbai’s chaotic streets.

Location Magic

You know what really struck me about this place? The location feedback speaks for itself — couples rate it 9.5 out of 10, and recent guests gave it a 9.4 for location. That’s not just numbers talking; when you’re staying here, you’re literally walking distance from the Gateway of India, the Taj Mahal Palace, and all those little cafes and shops that make Colaba such a vibrant neighborhood. I actually found myself just wandering around in the evenings because everything feels so accessible. The narrow streets can get crowded, sure, but that’s part of the charm — you’re right in the thick of Mumbai’s most historic district.

The Room Experience

The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid three-star hotel — clean, comfortable, and functional without any unnecessary frills. My room had that classic Mumbai hotel feel with dark wood furniture and crisp white linens. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Mumbai’s humidity), and the windows actually open if you want to hear the city sounds below. It’s not going to win any design awards, but honestly, when you’re spending most of your time exploring the city, you just need a comfortable base — and this delivers exactly that.

Morning Fuel

The buffet breakfast is actually pretty decent for a hotel in this category. They’ve got the usual suspects — eggs, toast, fresh fruit — but also some local options that I appreciated. The dining area gets busy around 8 AM, so if you’re an early riser like me, you’ll have more space and fresher selections. The coffee is strong enough to get you going, and the staff keeps everything well-stocked throughout the morning service. Nothing fancy, but it sets you up nicely for a day of sightseeing.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a spa resort or a business hotel with all the bells and whistles — it’s something better for the right traveler. It’s a well-run, honest hotel in one of Mumbai’s most desirable neighborhoods, and the 8.1 overall rating reflects that reliability. The staff knows the area inside and out, so they’re great for recommendations on where to eat or how to get around. When you factor in the prime Colaba location and the straightforward comfort level, it makes perfect sense why guests keep coming back. Sometimes the best hotels are the ones that just get the basics right and let the neighborhood do the rest.

Hotels near me in Mumbai deliver quick rides to business hubs in BKC, designer boutiques in Kala Ghoda, and seaplane docks.

  Nice hotel, fab roof top restaurant

• Michelle from United Kingdom (8/10)

  This is a lovely little gem, located just off to one side of the bustling tourist and shopping area. The walk to the tourist areas felt safe and was short. The quiet away from the bustke was much appreciated.
  The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and helped make our stay memorable. They could not have been more helpful. The hotel is located in the top half of the building (with a different hotel located below). The roof top restaurant is wonderful both day and night and has a lovely buzzing vibe as it appears popular with locals as well. Are rooms were spacious and well presented. This was our first visit to India and this hotel offered a lovely introduction to the warmth of this country.

• Adam from United Kingdom (7/10)

  Excellent location and value for money, albeit that the property itself is a little tired. Bed was very comfy and the shower was great.

• Sonia from Belgium (8/10)

  The hotel is right by the India gateway and Taj hotel in Colaba. You can’t beat that location! We arrived knackered from a long haul international flight and Harbour view organised a pick up and had everything ready by the time of our arrival. The terrace has fantastic views.
