Empire Royale Hotel Mumbai

"Just opposite the Victoria Terminus. They use very bad and strong smelling pills to kill the insects or germs or whateverall over the room and in the bathroom, even in drawers. Couldn't breath before we got rid of them. On the other side is the noisy street, on the other side a factory view very close. Otherwise ok and clean, personnell was friendly." - Anonymous

"Clean with helpfull staff. Food is only available through room service because there's no common dining/meeting area. Noisy because right above main intersection but nothing earplugs won't block out. Internet access available in hotel business centre @ 50 R/min. Laundry returned on same day. Local shops either side of hotel entrance are convenient. Interesting Hotel renovations - suspect it may have originally been a warehouse with 14 foot ceilings so they've put in mezzanine to provide two floors which means you have to duck under the beams on the second floor and the windows are at ground level in the rooms! Located 30 metres from McDonalds - look for red pavers to lead to entrance." - Anonymous

"Stayed in Empire Royale Hotel in Mumbai (2) nights. Pros: Place was fairly clean and I did not mind no view. Bed was above average. A/C was good. The front desk staff was half time surly and half time very nice. Cons: They charge you in (10) minute intervals for internet service. And, the bell-hops, door staff, and all other attendants have this most unpleasant habit of--whatever they do (showing you how the A/C works, showing you how hot water operates, bringing a receipt to your room, bringing clean towells to the room), they just stand there and wait until you tip them (every time). And, they won't leave until you do. Apparently they've been trained by hotel management to do this, as other hotels in India do not pursue these same actions. Tipping is a nice thing to do often, but this panhandling 'every time' for the tinest of events is most annoying--even obnoxious. " - Denis Casper
