Taj Mahal Palace Hotel

Shivaji Rd, Apollo Bunder

The landmark hotel close to the Gateway of India, along with the Oberoi is one of the oldest five-star hotels in India. The building was commissioned in the Indo-Saracenic style by Tata and first opened its doors to guests on 16 December 1903. The builder was Khansaheb Sorabji Ruttonji Contractor who also designed and built its famous central floating staircase. The cost of construction was £250,000 (£127 million today). During World War I, the hotel was converted into a 600-bed hospital. The dome of the hotel is made from steel as used in the Eiffel Tower. Jamsetji Tata imported the same stee

Taj Mahal Tower

Shivaji Rd, Apollo Bunder

A wing of the Taj Hotel, this tower hotel was built on the site of the historic Green's Hotel, constructed as flats in 1890, and operated by Tata as a hotel from 1904 until its demolition to build the tower. Despite being owned by the same company that owns the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, the Taj Mahal Tower is relatively cheaper than the former.

Family-owned, this hotel - the only hotel in Kala Ghoda - offers only basic amenities (no Wi-Fi, shared bathroom, and the only place to charge your phone is in the manager's secure office). The rooms are clean and in good shape, and the manager and his mother are always friendly to chat with.

Ship Hotel

3 Rd Floor, Bharti Bhavan · walk out CSMT's south exit, turn left until you hit PD Mello road, it's on PD Mello road's east side, immediately east of CSMT

One of the, if not "the", cheapest places in Mumbai. The cheap prices make it extremely popular with Indian businessmen and tourists. Arrive at 9AM for the best chance to bag a room, but it's extremely close to CSMT make it easy to check first when you get off the train, if it's full, the surrounding Fort area (between CSMT and Colaba) is a much better option to find cheap hotels instead of Colaba.

Hotel Moti International

10 BEST Marg · off Colaba Causeway

Clean, safe and quiet.

Sheel Hotel

23 Manohardas St · immediately south of CSMT's south exit; exit the south exit of CSMT, before you cross Walchand Hirachand Marg, look up and you should see a sign for this hotel

This is likely to be the cheapest hotel in Mumbai and offers a lot to complain about. The bathrooms are non-flush squat style, and the showers suck, but the price is right and the sheets are clean. This is a particularly good option given its extreme proximity to CSMT, saving you the hassle of a taxi ride, putting you in the spectacular Fort area, and sparing you from the lameness of Colaba. Dirty rooms, dirty sheets, mice.
