Disliked: Staff & service
The property is close to metro station and you can easily get transport to tourist places. But that's the only perks of this place. The rooms are super small and the cleanliness is just for the sake. The staff is helpful (the hotel cleaning staff) but the staff at reception is as much rude and unprofessional. If your only aim is to doze off and freshen up then this is fine.

HOTEL STAFF NEEDS TO BE QUIET!
I arrived at midnight in December of 2019 for a one night stay. I'm a white male in my 40s. I just wanted clean sheets and a hot shower for $45 a night. I wasn't expecting a high end hotel service. I just want a quiet clean room to sleep for one night. I did not like the front desk guy asking me so many weird personal questions at the hotel to check in. Room is small of course. No windows. He put me in the ground floor very close to the front desk. I was awakened at 3 am and 4 am due to various activity and sliding wheels and conversation at the front desk. I put on some pants and a shirt and opened my door to see why so much activity at 4 am???!!!!! HOTEL STAFF NEEDS TO BE QUIET! Try not to stay on the 1st floor at all! The hotel is easy enough to find, it's walking distance (about 15 minutes) from central station (main metro station) I wasn't expecting a lot, but I would not stay here again. The front desk staff has to know you can hear every sound coming from them. WHY SO MUCH ACTIVITY AT 4 AM?????

My check in was not all that pleasant, the room I booked wasn't available. Only a much smaller was offered. The staff was polite enough to offer for rooms in alternative hotels. At the end went for the smaller room. It was clean and well maintained. The staff were polite and hosted very well. At the end, all was good and i checked out as a happy customer

Very noisy from both the outside I think the walls are not sound proof. From the inside of the hotel there was movement of furniture at very late sleeping hours anyhow without care. The hygienic standards are far below 3star international standards and the toilet& bathroom are filthy& stinky which obviously come to the room. I had to buy my own disinfectants to scrub the toilet& be able to use the room. I had moved from one hotel after one night and had to bear this one for my 6 nights unfortunately. The best bait would be the Taj in this community

HOTEL FORTUNE a great hospitality
Good points for HOTEL FORTUNE The staff were lovely, willing to help with anything. Excellent location, 10 minutes walk from churchgate station where you can easily get into the North of Mumbai from. It's about a half an hour walk to the gateway of India and colaba causeway so it's very close, and marine drive is lovely for a wander in the evening and to look at the ocean. The rooms are airy and nice and towels are provided. They also have a map of Mumbai if you ask which gives you nearby restaurants and emergency numbers etc. Good stay overall. Good affordable clean rooms. Staff really helpful arrived early and checked me in straight away no problem. Good room service breakfast. i left my bags here all day and were able to take a shower and freshen up before leaving at night. Walking distance to major attractions and train stations. Excellent vegetarian restaurants nearby. Very good atmosphere on Marine Drive at evenings. Breakfast in the room with limited offer. clean smart rooms with AC and very clean bathrooms and amazingly comfy beds!. excellent location too, right on marine drive and totally walkable to all the nice restaurants and india gate. I was not expecting this place to be so nice!! It was the cheapest place we could find and the closest to Colaba so I had quite low expectations. This place turned out to be the most modern, clean and comfortable place that we stayed in India. We were given a deluxe room which was not facing the road so we slept well. There was a

Disgusting Experience
I had booked this hotel (way back in August for a stay in January) only because it was walking distance from the venue for start of the Mumbai Marathon (near CST) for which we had to report by 5 AM on a Sunday. I flew into Mumbai on Saturday and checked into the hotel around 8 PM hoping to get some sleep. I was first shown a small room (and even bathroom) with no windows/ventilation, at the end of a closed corridor. The room looked like a store converted as an afterthought into a room. I requested for a change and was then taken to a room which was stinking of cigarette smoke ( I had specifically requested for non smoking room at the time of booking). I was finally taken to what appeared to be a normal room on the 4th floor but it was not to be. There were loud noises outside the room till around 11 PM as I later figured out that the room was close to their Dining Room/Restaurant with attendants literally running around shouting instructions/carrying room service orders. I thought this would get over after dinner time. What was worse is that after dinner, till around 2 AM, there were loud thumping noises outside the room. I discovered that they were shifting tables and chairs to set them up possibly for Breakfast. I could not sleep as I had to get up in any case by 4 AM and was totally exhausted even before starting the run. In retrospect I think I would have been better off staying at any other hotel, and taking a cab in the morning.

If you like a room without windows with corridors where you can barely walk , this may be the place.

Close to the cricket ground
I guess it's a case of getting what you pay for. Rooms are very small, you can just about fit a double bed and nothing else. One tip if you are having a shower, you need to switch on the blue switch by the sink, and only then will you get hot water. The room is simple and does the job, cheap accommodation. One plus point us that you get free wifi but sometimes you need to go to reception to get it. In my case I had to sit at the end of my bed for wifi.

Fabulous hotel in the heart of Mumbai!
Extremely cooperative front office staff. I made a reservation with the wrong date, that is, a date later than my intended date of arrival. Around midnight the hotel phoned me and pointed out the mistake. When I reached them, they made the best possible effort to make me comfortable. Location of the hotel is excellent. The staff is sensitive to the needs of their guests.
