There are not eating places around the area that would be suitable for Western tourists. But the hotel cafateria is good wiyh great basic Indian meals. The area around the hotel is typical of working area of small shops and scooter repair shops. Best thig us hotel is very close to metro stations.

The hotel turned out to be better than our expectations. It has the same average Mumbai hotel room size but with really clean amenities, generous staff and a beautiful rooftop. The only thing that could be improved is probably installing a lift within the facility and increasing the water pressure in the taps

THE GOOD: compared to other hotels in the area, room size was really good for me. The food is delicious and excellent value for money. The staff are all polite and friendly, the room was cleaned as many times as I wished. The bathroom was clean and cute. THE BAD- WiFi problems due to construction work in the area (not the hotels fault). Walls are quite thin so ask not to be put too close to families with kids! Due to Uber strike I had some problems getting taxis from the hotel. If you want to sleep in, be warned, staff start their work very early and they are not quiet about it. Every morning from 7am they were banging around with buckets outside my room and shouting down the corridors to each other. Other than that, the hotel is great value for money when compared to other hotels in the area and was considerably nicer that my colleagues nearby, who paid quite a lot more for theirs.

Very friendly staff. Good value choice.

Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout (including with booking trains and helping arrange taxis). The food in the cafe was also pretty great if you don't fancy making the journey to one of the many, many restaurants located nearby. This seemed a much more authentic locale than around Colaba. If you want your pizza and french-style cafe chains then go there, but if you want to see a little more of Mumbai then this is great. Streets were busy but I got nothing but smiles and hellos if I (an obvious tourist) was noticed at all. Note that taxi drivers may get a bit confused by the address, but they'll ask around and you'll get there eventually!

Great Hotel, Notice Early Checkout

I enjoyed hotel KumKum a lot, and after spending a month in India I can comment that the service at this particular hotel was wonderful. The host, Felix was very helpful for us and I enjoyed his presence. Room service was prompt and it was good!

The only downside for us was that the checkout time was at 9 am which we had not been expecting.

Termite smell.

WiFi did not work in room, it worked in restaurant and near lobby. One day they drilled holes in the walls every couple of feet then inserted poison to kill termites. You could hear drilling for over an hour in the morning and then smell the chemicals for several hours afterwards. TV did not work. I wanted to book a city tour so I was told the manager was going to call me in ten minutes. He called but could not hear me on the phone and hung up. He did not call back.

Great location, friendly staff, worth the price

The staff were all extremely nice and service oriented, and neither me nor my wife have anything negative to say about them. The room however was very noisy, not just from the street, but from inside the hallways as well. The doors and windows might as well have been open considering the noise level.
There wasn't a proper bedding either, as all we got was a fleece blanket, which doesn't seem too hygienic either. I'm sure the staff would fix this if you asked, but we're not really that great at complaining.

Overrated and hairy

We were looking forward to staying here after reading all of the positive reviews. However when we arrived we found that our room was nothing like it was advertised. Cramped and damp with a tiny dated bathroom. The smallness of the room wasn't an issue in as much as the amount of hair we were finding. In the bed especially, but all over the bathroom too, it was absolutely disgusting.

Small,bright hotel in a residential area of Mumba.

Compared to other similar priced hotels in Central Mumbai, this small and friendly place is a quiet haven near Grant Road suburban rail station.
So it is easy to commute to Churchgate and commercial distict of this huge city.
The room I had was large enough for me, as a single tourist and was quiet enough from street noise.
However, it was near the reception area and phones /people checking in or out and general staff traffic made room 101 a bit more noisy than I wished, so ear plugs are always useful.
The upstairs rooms seemed more inviting and quiet.
This hotel caters more for indigenous businessmen so I only saw a few tourists here.
The monsoon weather was quite debiltating for me, so I was glad to take several cold showers each day.
The ceiling an was excellent and I did not use the a/c system.
The shower was very good, but I had to buy some cleaning agents like bleach or harpic to get rid of some scale and mildew from behind the toilet and the base of the door.
I stayed there for several days and was pleased to watch a good selection of western or middle east TV stations to keep up with the news outside India.
The small restaurant at the top of the building was scrupulously clean, one of the cleanest I've experienced in India and while the menu was not extensive, the food delivered was very tasty.
There is a major facelift for the facade of the building underway, but this did not bother me too much for noise or inconvenience.

Surrounding Area

Hotel is okay but surrounding area is too much to handle. Price should be lower for the overall single one night. Picked the location due to airport being near. They do not provide airport service which is the main reason for lower rating. If they did at least you could ignore location issue.
