We decided to treat ourselves and stay in a slightly more expensive hotel for a night. It was just OK in the end. The location is good, in central Colaba. The room was big and quite clean but there were still cockroaches that came out at night! (you don't expect that when paying so much) the bathroom has a reasonable... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and didnt like it. Rooms are not clean, breakfast is awful and the price is way to high for India. Not recommended! More

After settled nicely after long train travels in bed I soon discovered that it was a bed bug feast where I was lying. I wasn't allowed to leave the hotel in the night and they put me in another room without a window. Also in that bed there were bed bugs. The day after I of course thought they would... More

I stayed here for five days with my mother. As this was her first trip to India, I wanted to stay somewhere that was a little quieter to help her acclimatise. I searched on foot the many hotels in Colaba and chose Cowie's as it had some nice rooms for the price (2600 rupees for a twin, 35 pounds). We... More

Before I flew to Mumbai, I'd read that hotels were pricey and that it would be a good idea to book ahead. I hardly ever book ahead, but used Tripadvisor to select what I thought was a decent place to stay for the first few nights. Bad choice! I checked in after 4pm, and had to wait 20 mins for... More

Hotel Cowie's is in Colaba, in a street packed with other hotels, at walking distance from many of the main tourist sights and attractions. Cowies does a good deal compared to other Mumbai prices, we payed 2200 Rs per night. For the first night we were allocated a room with no window, but were moved to another the next day... More

I stayed at Hotel Cowie in Mumbai after getting stuck in the city for a few unexpected days. It is a REALLY neat old building with tons of character. The owner/staff were incredible. SO nice. Breakfast brought to you each morning. The last day, they even let us stash our back packs in their (beautiful) back room and take showers... More

We found Hotel Cowie's and managed to get a room for Rs2000 a night in mid January. The room was clean and very pleasant and one of the cheaper options when staying in Mumbai for two female travellers. It was also central in Colaba, a short walk to Leopold's bar/restaurant for those of you who have read the book. The... More

As always I walked the streets to find the best place, and I ended up here. The main reason was that I got a large room with AC, fridge(ish), TV with real cable and a 1st floor balcony to the main street for $1800/day. Which seemed good for Mumbai. I'd checked out some cardboard box rooms for $800/day so was... More
