Hotel New Bengal - Mumbai

The hotel room was very tiny (6' by 12') and not very clean. Suspection of bed bugs as the bedding was not overy clean looking. The overall look of the hotel was not very good as there are matresses piled up, boxes and other items in the hallways, Needs a good cleaning.

After staying one night at this hotel, I vowed never to trust reviews on Hotels.com or any travel website. I am a well-traveled person who has stayed at many budget hotels. I just didn't get it. How can this hotel manage to attract so many guests? I found out that this hotel is one of the handful hotels listed on Lonely Planet. No wonder travelers flock […] to this hotel. Mumbay is an expensive city, yes. But trust me, you can do so much better with the same amount of money. Don't always trust travel books or websites. My room was supposedly the most expensive one at this hotel, but it was just pathetic. It was nasty. But after demanding that the management show us other rooms and inspecting a range of rooms on different floors, I had to agree that the room they gave me was indeed the nicest one, haha. It was so untidy and the bathroom was just unbearable. Mosquitoes were flying all around and when I opened the closet I was welcomed by a decent sized cockroach. Mosquitoes kept me awake all night (this was November). This hotel is not worth the money they charge you. The only good thing was that it was conveniently located. It was near the market (not the kind of shopping places where tourists go to, but where local people go). We wanted to hang out where Indian people hang out, rather than wasting our time in Colaba and other usual tourist destinations. The hotel is also within a walking distance from the train station. But, well, it's not a place to stay if you want to get some decent sleep at night. Just forget it. Do some research and try a different place. You should only stay at this hotel if you get at least a 50% discount. Read more

This hotel was creepy, dirty and loud. I do not understand how it can still be in business or listed with Hotels.com.

The experience at the Hotel New Bengal was unforgettable. We have stayed at some awful properties in our lives, but this one was the worst. It even beat the hostel with condoms in the drawer, a one-eyed cat, and bloody tissue in the room! The walls were literally moving with bed bugs. We had to cover our mouths so as not to breathe them in, and we […] had to shake them off our clothes. We decided to sleep at another location because we didn't want to jeapordize our health as the bed was coated in over a dozen of these moving creatures. Had we wanted bed bugs, we would have paid less than 1/4 the price and stayed elsewhere! The whole reason that we chose this hotel was that there were supposedly no bug issues. The price was not justified. The AC and outside were incredibly noisy. Water leaked from the AC and attracted mosquitoes and birds. There were homeless sleeping just outside the front door. The room had such thin walls that we could hear the neighbor's porno video clearly. The breakfast buffet consisted of one egg. When we asked for another egg, they tried to charge Rs. 75, which is equivalant to over $2. When we asked the front desk later about this and they said that shouldn't have happened, but it did. Thus, the staff were also dishonest and the breakfast was not a buffet as falsely advertised. Read more

Rooms are not large or well decorated, but they are extremely clean, great hot shower and comfortable beds. Staff was very professional, helpful and friendly. The hotel affiliated restaurant next door was delicious and the service was excellent and wonderfully friendly and personable. Overall experience with the hotel was a very good one.

Genuine Expedia guest review

They were ready for me, nice to have such an effortlessness check-in in another country. The room was small but for the price and location it was well worth it. The size of the room gave better efficiency to the air conditioner. I'll probably bring a 1" memory foam mattress pad with me next time (there will be a next time!) to supplement the thin, hard […] mattress provided. The shower worked well . The staff was very helpful. Internet access was available and the TV channel selection quite sufficient. (Watched the Oscar presentation live.) I had a nice time. Read more

This hotel is dirty and old, thier elevators are from the stone age. I did not know i was going to get a room with NO WINDOW so during my entire stay i felt like i was in box, its great if your going to sleep and be out the rest of the day. the location is an A+ its just 2 mintues away from one of the busiest markets in mumbia (crawford market and shopping). […] THe people are friendy and the resturant is very good. however the bed is hard and the rooms are tiny !

Although the building is a little tatty, the lift old-fashioned, and there was some building work going on during my stay, the cleanliness of the place was outstanding, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. If I return to Mumbai, I would probably stay there again. Very convenient for buses and trains, right by Crawford Market and some popular […] Mumbai sights quite close by. Read more

I stayed at little sinle executive room. AC was broken, fan on the top was OK. Construction yard is just next to hotel, but it was clean, and OK for two overnite stays as I didn't expected much from Mumbai hotels.

On check in we found TV not working. Got it fixed. Telephone not working, got it fixed. Rooms r 2 small.

Basic hotel, small rooms, but conveniently close to the station and the center

Genuine Expedia guest review

I booked this hotel for my son, who was making a short visit to Mumbai on a longer trip. The two main criteria were cleanliness and being close to the main railway terminus. He tells me that the hotel scored on both counts, and that the facilities were certainly good enough for his purposes. He found the staff pleasant and helpful. Before going he sent […] a couple of general queries to the hotel office about the practicalities of visiting Mumbai and their responses were both prompt and informative. Bearing in mind the modest cost of staying here it would be unfair to expect the facilities of a very expensive hotel, but if what you want is somewhere clean and wholesome to stay in central Mumbai, this hotel was a good choice.

A very much run down hotel. Very basic even by indian standards. The choice is between a "luxury A/C room" extremely noisy and ridiculously expensive on the street side and a filthy room windowless already inhabited by quite a few roaches. The check out time is 9am, not noon. Yes it is part of their tricks to have you pay for another day.

Unreasonably expensive and not so clean in a neighbourhood that our guide told us to stay away from. My girlfriend got bitten by lice in the bed, and they wouldnt even admit that they could have a lice problem.

Clean room and bathroom, working AC and fridge. Very good value for the money and great location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I got a 6 by 6 ft room, that had no window and was so damp, I had to leave after 1 night only. Location was okay, if you're willing to move away to get anything like a proper meal. Neither a restaurant at the hotel, nor a proper one nearby and very noisy street almost 24\7. A\C and fan was okay. So not good value for money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

yeah..., nothing would be recommanded except the convenient position. meanwhile, nothing should be complained considering its price which seems reasonable only in mumbai.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very good value for money considering the prices of other hotels in the area. Good service. Very hard to find the hotel. Taxi driver dont know it. The phone number you receive does not work which makes it much harder to get there. Their free pick up service is great (there is a charge for airport parking etc...)

Location wise, hotel new bengal is very good. However tariff is priced higher considering the overall room condition and breakfast being just average.

I would not recommend this hotel. We got a room without window, and with extremely noisy aircondition. Walls in the toilet were cracked, and the shower was tricky to get working properly. Quilt for the bed smelled really bad. Had to ask for toliet paper.

Chambre sale,nous avons demandé à faire changer les draps car ils étaient pleins de traces noires, mauvaise odeur, pas de climatisation alors qu'elle était comprise dans le prix. Chauffeuse à la place du matelas supplémentaire donc aucun confort. Hotel que nous ne recommandons pas mauvais rapport qualité /prix.

Hôtel trop cher pour une chambre placard (en individuel). Evidemment, comme ils sont sur pratiquement toutes les centrales de réservations, ils sont assurés de remplir leurs chambres. il existe des hotels sur COLABA 25% moins cher, avec des chambres plus grandes et avec une fenêtre.

Hotel ligt net iets buiten Coloba, maar voor 50 rupees ben je in het toeristen stuk. Wij hebben zelf in een kamer met AC gelogeerd, dit zijn de betere kamers. Voordelen van dit hotel zijn: - dichterbij vliegveld dan hotels in Colaba - Prima ontbijt (is inbegrepen) - Goed bed (formaat, dikte matras en geen bedbugs aanwezig!) - Dagelijkse Engelse krant […] inbegrepen - Goed werkende Airco en warme douche - Koelkastje aanwezig op kamer Minpunt: - Airco niet instelbaar - Lopend vrij ver naar Colaba Read more

Forvent ikke for meget, men for et to-stjernet hotel i Mumbai, er New Bengal slet ikke så tosset, og beliggenheden god. Værelserne er små men rimeligt rene, og personalet er generelt venligt og imødekommende. Et udmærket valg til det korte ophold i Mumbai.

Recommandé seulement en raison de sa situation .Près de Victoria Station(pour ceux qui ont à se déplacer en train- parfait) et du Crawford Market deux points intéressants.Peu de restos qui ont de l'allure aux allentours.Bien sûr, on peut marcher jusqu'au Colaba environ 30 minutes ce qui nous fait voir la ville. En soirée,coin assez sombre... Chambres […] corrects sans plus (petites,propreté acceptable et certaines qui donnent sur la rue sont bruyantes).Déjeuner à la limite de l'acceptable, vraiment pas fort...

They took their time to get me checked inn. Rooms are clean but expensive (and small) as Mumbai generally is when it comes to accommodation. Don't expect to much. But the staff is generally friendly.

宿代の高いムンバイで便利に安く泊まれます。街歩きに疲れたら、テラス（共同）で本を読みながら風に吹かれてゆったり過ごせます。スタッフは親切でみな信頼できました。セキュリティ確保のために２４時間体制でスタッフが館内を監視しています。 東京駅至近でカプセルに泊まるようなものと思えば、十分満足が得られるでしょう。部屋は２畳＋バスルーム１畳くらいの小ささでした。近所のレストランでのシンプルな朝食付き。日本で言えば「小さな部屋を安く提供している古い大衆旅館」と思えば良いかも知れません。でも現地で言えばしっかりしたビジネスホテルなんでしょう。バスルームが共同で良いなら更に格安の部屋もあるようでした。 ホテルのホームページを見てもきちんと造られています。インターネット（無線）は有料ですが、ホテル自体のＩＴ管 […] 理能力が高いので安定して使えました。 Read more

Das Hotel ist bei den hohen Hotelpreisen in Mumbai für diesen Preis sehr empfehlenswert. Es liegt ca. 5 - 10 Gehminuten vom CST entfernt und wenige Schritte zu den Märkten, z.B. Crawford. Die Zimmer sind sauber - bei meinem zweiten Aufenthalt hatte ich jedoch kein warmes Wasser. Das Frühstück ist inklusive und für Indien auch ganz ok.
