    Clean and spacious suite located right next to Gateway of India. Makes it easy to travel on foot to most attractions. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

    The location was perfect. While it was tucked away down a back street, it was a stone’s throw about from Leopold Cafe, the Regal Cinema and The Gateway of India. The breakfast was also lovely - a mix of fresh fruits, Indian, and continental foods available.

    Amazing design. Perfect place where to stay in Colaba. Super clean and elegant. The staff did whatever possible to accommodate our needs. Great breakfast! A special thanks to Husna (from the taxi company that supports female drivers, in partnership with Adobe). She was very professional and kind!

    The drain of the shower in our room was a bit smelly and we had shared toilets.

    The property was beautiful, an amazing introduction to India! Ashwini welcomed us and was so warm and attentive. Our room was super clean and the food was amazing! They had massages by blind people they worked with through a charity, yoga, and a beautiful area to work or study in upstairs. They were extremely accommodating when we asked to leave our bags and use the work area after we checked out. The location was fantastic if you want to be in amongst it!

    Location of hotel, standard of rooms and attentiveness of the staff all amazing. Wonderful hotel. Cant wait to go back. It was my first time in India and the staff arranged local tours for me during my stay, great value and wonderful friendly and knowledgable guides who all looked after me very well. Harsh, Vasu and Rajat were all fantastic as was Husna who collected me from the airport. Thank you!

    Parking area not that comfortable to park. Pay and park is fine but have to pay extra for nonsense reason. If you can provide someone who can look after this will be better. Like pay direct to Abode then you guys can adjust something

    The perfect place

    First of all the staff, from Nobert, Nileesh, Sadhana, and Ganesh to everyone in their team, even our driver Husna was attentive and friendly and turned out to be some great people. Secondly, we ended up booking the place for multiple dates and extended dates all was taken care of in time and very smoothly. We did not expect the location to be bang on the centre for the things we wanted to do. From museums to galleries and shops, we managed to walk to almost every area we wanted to go and see. From the breakfast to all the amenities provided was exceptional and we even ended up trying a few of their guided tours as well. (do recommend the Elephanta caves, temple and early morning tours) Amex is not accepted so keep other cards in hand, sometimes you might be bothered as the reception level rooms get outside noises seep into the rooms. Either way, highly recommend this hotel!

    Look, this is not a 'hotel review'. I am an old-timer Bombayite. I don't live in the city any more but visit every now and then. Abode is in that part of Bombay where memories go back over a century. The building is a historic one, and so is nearly every structure within a couple of kilometres. What we look for, when we're back in the city, is some of the laidback but tasteful style and ambience to which we were accustomed in the 80s. Issa Sham is just the man, and has just the eye, to have put that together in Abode Colaba.

    There is nothing we disliked.

    Liked everything! Rooms were clean, big enough and nicely decorated. Dining/Lobby area was beautiful. Do not forget to have a Mug of black coffee, it really taste good! Mr Nilesh was so helpful. We were reaching mumbai few hrs before chekin time and we asked Mr Nilesh in advance about possibility of early checkin. We were given room 3 hrs before actual checkin time. We are so much thankful to him. Hotel staff helped us on everything. Breakfast was really good, we enjoyed a lot. Hotel is located just near Gateway of India and Taj Hotel. Do not forgot to shop at coloba causeway market running 1-2 kilometer just starting from the nearby of Abode Bombay. Negotiate well with sellers, most of the time 1/3 to 1/4th of the price they sell at.

    Firstly the rooms are really tiny I booked the “ Basic room “ for 3 nights and the 1st night I had the most uncomfortable experience as I felt claustrophobic and isolated and I highly recommend to avoid this room however the staff was really considerate when it came to my situation they offered me a complementary upgrade room with more facilities, space and ceiling height. This is a very small hotel and at times there’s a lot of noise entering the room.

    For the basic rooms a toilet outside is a negative as it's a bit far from some rooms and you need to remember the low ceiling. Another thing is that they shut the breakfast sharp at 10, would appreciate some leniency of extending by a few mins, if guests reach 5-10 mins before closing.

    Abode is a great boutique hotel, located in the prime tourist location of Colaba. It gives you a beautiful vintage vibe. We stayed in the most basic room, but they were neat and clean and had character. The staff is very helpful and attentive, subko mini coffee shop is great. Even the space to chill on the 4th floor is nice.

    Note that the hotel is in the busy area of Colaba - it can be noisy therefore at night. Just use the ear plugs provided.

    Abode turned out to be just what I was hoping - a boutique hotel, with cool decor, exceptional staff and a retreat from the busy Mumbai streets. We will definitely return on our next visit. A special mention for the relaxing meditation offered at no charge for guests at the oasis that is the 4th floor, and the reception staff who go above and beyond for their guests. Our tour guides (arranged by Abode) for the early market tour and the half day city tour were incredibly knowledgeable and gave us an insight into Mumbai which we wouldn't have achieved on our own.
