Sahara Star - Mumbai

This hotel has been in a state of repair for quite some time....but if you can overlook the exterior fascade and the dirty hallway carpet, the rooms are beyond oppulent. Further the comfort of being picked up and dropped off at the airport is suberb. I would definitly stay at this hotel to beat the Bombay traffic and be closee to the airport. Note: […] on Thursday, Friday and Saturday - ask for a room away from the night club Read more

Hotel has great location. Immediate vicinity to dometic airport and Western Expressway. The rooms are of decent size by Indian standards, however, the lighting control in the rooms are confusing and the clock cannot be set by guests. The breakfast selection is sumptuous by International Standards. Very good selection, however the service is a bit disappointing. Overall […] very good hotel and the location. Read more

The Hotel it self is very nice and the staffs are very nice. but there is nothing around it as shopping or nice eating places close by to the hotel. You have to take a taxi to go to shopping.

Huge, well appointed, very clean room, with balcony facing a "tropical" swimming-pool complex; excellent breakfast and exceptionally good thoughvery pricy Indian dinner. Very convenient for Mumbai's domestic airport (literally across the street), which is why we chose it in the first place.

A 5 start hotel with local management. Things seem a bit worn out in the room. 5 start pricing but not so much up to 5 start quality. A good Indian restaurant for Andhra Pradesh regional cuisine but a bit expensive. Spent almost USD40 for a bottle of beer, a curry chicken main course with naan. The WIFI did not work for my network but it did work […] for the notebook of hotel IT support staff. Don not understand why but it caused inconvenience to me. One good thing is hotel offered me an unexpected complementary car service to the airport , which was much appreciated at a very late evening. Not sure I would come back again given there are many choices around the Mumbai airport area. Read more

By midnight they had not cleaned my room or made the bed or refreshed towels.... it was the worst ever. I usually stay in Mumbai at the Oberoi, and it is amazing service. Don't stay at this airport hotel thinking it is comparable.... cause its not close

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is located near the domestic airport in Mumbai. In Mumbai you have to plan your stays very strategically. If you are staying in one area, getting to another place may take quite a lot of time (anywhere from 30mins to 1 hr 30 mins). The hotel is getting a bit run down. The food is still pretty good. There can be an issue of noise in the room […] coming from within the hotel (especially if the hotel is having an event such as wedding or conference etc. in the middle of the hotel. I would give the hotel 3 out 5 stars overall. Please make sure and keep track of your credit card as I have had a possible incident of credit card theft here. Read more

Very nice, modern business hotel, located across the street from the domestic terminal in Mumbai

Genuine Expedia guest review

Well connected by train and road as compared to other hotel areas in the suburbs. If you cannot afford a place downtown, this is your best bet. Hotel had really nice and helpful staff, security was very good, room was clean and comfortable. We even go to see fashion shows during the Bridal Fashion week as it took place on the hotel grounds.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is definitely not qualified to be a 5 star. It has very unkept bathrooms and the bed was hard and tiny. It has no where to buy food... only 2 very expensive buffet style restaurants or you can order from the menu. There is no where to just buy soda or water or snacks etc. The pool is tiny as well as the gym... it is definitely not qualified […] to be called a 5 star hotel. The room reminded me more of a small roadside motel in the USA... like a 2 or 3 star. Read more

My overall experience at the Sahara Star was brilliant. The 1 night rate I got on Expedia was superb value for a 5 star hotel that included pickup from the international airport & drop off at the domestic airport. The hotel is next to (literally) the domestic airport (but there was absolutely no noise), but if your room rate includes pickup/dropoff […] from/to the airport, they will pick you up from the international airport as well. My room (and I believe all rooms) face a huge enclosed central atrium with a lot of water bodies & greenery, and had a spacious balcony with good seating arrangements allowing me to enjoy the view & excellent room service. Even though the central atrium is protected from the elements it is much warmer than your room, meaning the balcony may be a bit warm for you (this is India so enjoy the enclosed warmth, especially since you won't find a duplicate view from your luxurious hotel room anywhere else). The room was very well appointed with a lot of lighting features, extremely clean & very well laid out. The bathroom is spacious, extremely clean, features both a tub & a separate shower (the "coolness" does take away some efficiency, since there isn't a lot of counter space to keep your bath stuff like toothbrush, shaver, etc. - but that's a very minor point for a short stay). One aspect could be a killer though - the atrium is used for events, so if there is one going on during your stay the noise will probably keep you awake at night. Read more

Stayed overnight while bridging international travel and found the hotel to be excellent for me needs. I did not use the restaurants or entertainment, so I can't speak for that, but the room and room service was excellent.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was a big disappointment. The rooms smell awful - they smell of damp and the bedding also feels damp. The bedding was also stained and had holes in it. The decor is tired and worn with cracks and chips in the furniture and fittings. The corridors are stuffy and airless and it's a long way to most rooms. The main atrium smells of cooking and […] the plants are dusty and sad looking - both the real and fake ones. The buffet is very good however - the food is excellent. The service varies from very good to very bad but do fill in the forms if you have an issue as this gets an immediate response. The place is under major construction but at no point are you told this. Three of the five restaurants are closed and so is the spa but you are not told until you arrive for food or for a treatment and prices are not discounted accordingly. The area is terrible unless you want to be right next to the airport. i would not stay here again. Read more

on entering this hotel, it's interesting as you enter a indoor tropical lagoon where all rooms have balconies facing onto it. the interest soon wears off when you enter your room as the smell is appalling. on closer inspection, the room needed better up keeping, the bed sheets were not clean, and furnitures were wearing out. the restaurant and floor […] staff were very friendly and polite but the door to my room was twice left open after housekeeping. the phone staff and some of the reception staff were not as friendly and needed to improve their customer service. overall, not the stay you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the last year. Unfortunately it seems that each time the overall stay is getting worse, and I will struggle to justify returning. On this occasion I arrived at 1:30am and went to my room to find it was different to what I had booked. I informed reception and they told me they could not change it as […] all other rooms were booked out (even though my room type was clearly stated on my reservation). I had to debate with the staff before they would shift me to the correct room, and the next morning it was obvious that the hotel was far from full. Not impressed at all! Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel itself is impressive in parts, however they are undergoing refurbishments in the hotel which meant that some parts were closed, which was not mentioned at time of booking. One of the restaurants called Mubarak was absolutely faultless in terms of service and food, and deserves a mention. Staff at reception however leave a lot to be desired […] and need further training in customer service. An example is when you ask a simple enough question you get passed around the entire reception area before you might get any sort of answer to your query. Location for the domestic airport and even international is great. To get around the city you can take the hotel car which i think is a bit expensive, however if you choose to take a local taxi or auto rickshaw be prepared to be taken around the long route to your destination, as the meter clocks up the miles, hence the cost of your journey. To end on a positive note, the rooms are very modern, clean and spacious and have great digital fetaures as well as a great indoor balcony overlooking the entire hotel. Read more

The hotel offers a safe haven in a very busy citty, the staff are very helpful and friendly. All this comes at a price which, in my opinion, is too high. This hotel would be highly recommended if the rates were reduced or if meals were included.

Loved it, have been before, will come again. Great rooms, and the balcony is wonderful. It is a unique experience, not quiet but very vibrant.

It is not a business hotel but a marriage party hotel. They had loud music going on till midnight with fire works and despite complaints they were trying to appease me with coffee when I wanted to sleep. the guest relations could not understand that caffeine would make it worse for me.

Good location within walking distance ( 5 minutes) of the Domestic Air terminal. Also within walking distance (15 minutes) of Ville Parle train station.

Constant smell of smock in "non-snacking" room (hotel?) very unpleasant. A few malfunctionis - broken toilet seat, not usable shaving mirrow - were promptly fixed - it would be good not to have them in the beginning.

The politeness and eager of the staff to help was very […] impressive and somehow smoothing out above disappointments. Hope this would help to polish out small "hardware" malfunctions. Read more

Perfect for an early morning flight from the domestic airport. Very high quality maintained, The Big NO however is the noise from the restaurants that is heard in all the rooms. If you are looking for a whisper quiet room, then look elsewhere.

The hotel provided a wheelchair for my overnight use (I use crutches during day). The wheelchair brakes were defective (useless really) and the wheel rims dirty. So inspect the wheelchair before use. The bathroom was well equipped for a disabled user, but it seemed like a standard bathroom which had been adapted. So the space was quite tight - watch […] your fingers! The hotel had ramps. Airport transfers available. Helpful Staff and Management. Only 2 disabled adapted rooms available?! Read more

The hotel was very nice and very comfortable- the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food in the hotel was expensive and the tax you have to pay on the services was a bit too high.

Not saying Gujarat hotels were bad because they were very good as well. Read more

This hotel has essentially all what you need and would expect from a 5*. However, the concept of having a noisy cafe/restaurant area playing music until 10-11 pm is completely no-go for me. And there is no way to avoid it as all room face the atrium/dome. Next time in Mumbai I would definitely choose another hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Rooms require a little more soundproofing from the atrium noise.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sahara. We were met at the airport by friendly and accomodating hotel staff and taken directly to the hote. The checkin process was easy and quick. The Sahara is an oasis in Mumbai!! The interior of the hotel is absolutly amazing. The staff were super friendly, professional and helpful. The operations manager made a […] point of getting to know us and made it a very personal experience. Our host "Hazel" looked out for all our needs and made our stay delightful.

Pros: 1. Friendly staff. 2. Nice variety of food inside the hotel with different theme rest. 3. Good size rooms and balconies. 4. Very close to airports especially Domestic. 5 Hotel is like a Colosseum and in the middle they have all these rest, bar, and beautifully decorated sitting places. Cons: 1. Even after paying Rs 750 (excl Taxes) for 24 hours […] Wi-Fi, speed was poor and was getting disconnected. 2. After using shower floor was getting totally wet and had to call room cleaners. 3. Don't think about open space for natural climate which could be good for you if you didn't like Mumbai's weather. Read more
