Bentleys Hotel

Probably cheapest offer in Colaba for a room with private bathroom. Location is perfect. AC and shower are fine but no shampoo or soap provided Breakfast is just toasts with jam.

great location in the old town, old house, cozy apartment, balcony overlooking a quiet street, helpful staff. I recommend

I stayed at Bentleys Hotel twice in 2025: once for 3 nights from 23-26 Feb, then went out of town to Aurangabad, then returned for 3 nights, from 1-4 March 2025. I was travelling solo, but the single room wasn't available, and because Bentleys came so highly recommended (friend, Lonely Planet) I agreed to the double, which was a huge room, but somewhat on the grungy side. Still, it was clean enough and the attached bathroom was fine. It cost 4600rs compared to the single for 3400rs. On my return for my second stay, I was booked the Family room; they had told me that was the only room available, with 2 double beds and an outside bathroom, so I would have to go outside my room, open up the lock on the bathroom to use it. They charged 5,000rs for the room, despite this inconvenience. As I was putting jam and butter from packets onto my two pieces of white toast, a cockroach came running out from under the other packets. I whacked it and bought it up the men working in the 3rd floor office. They didn't blink and eye or apologize. I also showed them the small cockroach floating in my teacup. "That is the tea leaves, Madam," said the head ***. To prove his point, he emptied the larger container which contained the tea and poured the liquid out. There were no tea leaves on the bottom. I then took out the dead floating roach and smeared it on his hand. He told one of the workers to give me new toast and tea. That night when I came back to the room, as soon as I sat down by the big dining table, I saw a cockroach climbing up the wall. I whacked it to save as proof. Then I whacked a smaller one crawling on the table. At this point, I had it and went upstairs to tell them I would be leaving in the morning. Again, not a word. Essentially, the place is dirty and cockroaches are living in the hotel. It appears the workers (there are only men working there) don't wipe off the tables, the walls are in desperate need of new paint, the floors haven't been mopped in ages (I wiped the floor to retrieve the dead cockroach and the napkin was black) and the workers could care less. I would encourage travellers to stay away from Bentleys Hotel because the rooms are not clean, the workers are not particularly friendly nor helpful and you are certainly not getting your money's worth. Backpacker Cowies around the corner on Walton St. has dorms and private rooms and they are much cleaner and friendlier, although of course, for the dorms, you just get a dorm bed, but it's only 1300rs.

My stay was very nice, the location was great, the room was very cozy, and the whole staff was very sweet

I would like to share my experience regarding my recent stay at a hotel, which was unfortunately quite negative. The room I was assigned was in disarray and infested with cockroaches. Additionally, I found the staff to be unhelpful in terms of communication. I requested a refund after staying for no more than thirty minutes, but my request was denied by the hotel.

Locality is really good. Room could’ve been bit more spacious for the price, complimentary breakfast wasn’t upto the mark.
