Mumbai travel guide

Mumbai lies on India's western coast in Maharashtra. The neighbourhood choice has a direct effect on a short stay, so begin with the places you need to reach.

Choosing your base in Mumbai

Separate a stopover from a city visit. For the latter, compare the hotel's position with the day's plans and the route back at night. For the former, check the relevant terminal and transfer arrangements.

Before choosing a room

Read the room dimensions and confirm the exact outlook if a sea view is part of the appeal.

Compare the exact room category, including bed layout, cancellation terms and the full stay total. Hotel photographs may show several categories. If a detail matters to you, look for it in the room description or ask the property.

Where guest evidence is available, use it to investigate specific questions about the stay. Read the supporting comments and their dates. A neighbourhood description cannot establish how quiet an individual room will be.
