New Prakash International

New Prakash International Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, New Prakash International isn’t going to wow you with flashy lobbies or marble everything, but there’s something refreshingly straightforward about this three-star place. I mean, when you’re literally steps from Mumbai’s international airport — and I’m talking about a five-minute walk here — you start to appreciate the no-nonsense approach. The staff actually seems to get that most guests are either catching early flights or stumbling in after long journeys, so check-in is surprisingly smooth even at odd hours.

Location That Actually Works

You know what’s funny? Everyone talks about staying near the airport like it’s some kind of compromise, but in Mumbai traffic, this location is actually genius. I’ve watched people spend three hours trying to get from the city center to catch a flight, while I’m having my second cup of tea in the lobby. The hotel sits right by the MTNL telephone exchange, which sounds random but it’s actually a perfect landmark — taxi drivers know exactly where it is. Plus, there’s this whole network of 24-hour eateries and convenience stores around here that most tourists never discover.

The Room Experience

Look, the room isn’t going to make it onto Instagram, but it’s clean and functional in all the ways that matter. The AC works properly (crucial in Mumbai), the wifi is decent enough for video calls, and the beds are actually comfortable — not just hotel-comfortable, but genuinely good for sleep. What I really appreciated was the soundproofing; you’d think being near the airport would mean constant noise, but they’ve clearly thought about this. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with hot water that doesn’t take forever to kick in.

Practical Perks

The restaurant downstairs serves solid Indian food until pretty late, which is a lifesaver when you’re dealing with jet lag or weird flight schedules. I had their dal and rice at 2 AM once — honestly better than what I’ve gotten at some fancy places in Bandra. There’s also parking available, which might not sound like much until you’ve tried to find a spot anywhere else in this city. The front desk guys are pretty helpful with arranging airport transfers too, though honestly, you can just walk if you’re not carrying too much luggage.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing — couples seem to really dig this place, and I think I know why. It’s got this quiet, almost residential feel despite being so close to everything. You’re not dealing with the chaos of central Mumbai, but you’re not stuck in some soulless airport hotel either. The neighborhood has this interesting mix of locals and travelers, and there’s something kind of romantic about watching planes take off from the nearby streets (I know that sounds weird, but trust me on this). For the price point, you’re getting reliability and location without the tourist markup you’d pay closer to the main attractions.

• Duncan from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Great place if you need someone basic before or after a flight. While it is fairly basic, the room was clean, the a/c, fan, tv and hot water all worked well, The service and staff were great, and there is food and beer available. The guy on reception gave me a good recommendation of a bar/restaurant to eat and drink in nearby. And, of course, it is near the airport – I even managed to walk in less than 15 mins with my backpack – it would be more of a challenge with a suitcase, but a 5 min tuk tuk would work easily enough. Thanks Shailish and team!
