We have stayed at The Shalimar Hotel, every year for last at least 30 years now, as it was good for all the amenities and staff were very friendly and looked after us very well! This time, there were too many issues, which I have submitted to the hotel on their feedback firm and I was very verbal too with complaints. Not staying on our return to Mumbai, which we had booked with Expedia, and cancelled it today.

Beautiful old hotel that gets a lot wrong. I booked a non-smoking room, and they had none left. So room smelled. They changed my room which improved it a bit, but another room they showed me smell SO STRONG of perfume. Old hotel that needs a lot of maintenance. Beautiful old marble. 1/2 shower didn't work. Small corners of cleaning need to be done. Breakfast was very weak. Safe was not screwed to wall, and battery kept dying.

The hotel is well situated and the staff is friendly and helpful My room however was small as were the closet and the little window with a blind that didn't work The hotel advertises rooms that are probably nice but mine wasn't. The breakfast buffet was average maybe a little better on Indian foods On the whole my appreciation is quite benevolent

Nothing special about this place, average. Didnt get breakfast which is known for complmintary breaky. Got discount on nothing. Even the accomodation price fluctuated for different day. When i booked, it was one price per night. I will never stay there again.

Comfortable hotel with international feel
Comfortable stay. Hotel was what was expected although I would not describe it as "boutique". Good position at Kemps Corner and easy to get Uber or local cab. Rooms were comfortable and reasonable size. Staff were helpful. Hotel let down by breakfasts which were rudimentary and coffee on both days very weak. Fortunately the bakery on etc ground floor serves excellent coffee.and could have been in any city
