What it is
From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including Bassein and Kolaba Fort, Alibaug — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.
Where it sits
Grand Hotel is in Fort, at 17 Shri S.R. Road Ballard Estate Fort, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 17 km from Terminal 2, 1 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 15 km from the Bandra Kurla Complex.
Road times in Mumbai are not a function of distance. Modelled at the city-wide average of about 17 km/h, that is roughly 61 minutes to the airport, 5 minutes to Fort and 52 minutes to BKC — add half again in the evening peak, and take the train instead wherever the route allows. These are modelled figures, not measured ones.
What is included
The property lists 49 facilities. The ones that decide a booking are grouped below; anything unusual — early check-in, a late departure, a desk that takes a laptop — is worth confirming when you book, because listings and reality drift.

Staying in Fort
The best-value beds in south Mumbai sit here. Dr D N Road and the lanes off it — Rustom Sidhwa Marg, Cawasji Patel Street, Bombay Samachar Marg — hold small business hotels and heritage-block guest houses at ₹4,500 to ₹9,000 a night, often in buildings with 1910 staircases and 2023 wiring. Ballard Estate is the quietest and most handsome pocket, wide streets, low traffic, hotels around ₹8,000 to ₹14,000, and a two-minute walk to shipping and freight offices. Prices spike 30 to 40 percent in December and during results season in late January. Avoid rooms facing D N Road above the second floor without double glazing, and avoid the immediate CSMT and Crawford Market fringe, where the noise, hawking and pavement traffic run past midnight. Confirm whether breakfast exists — many Fort hotels assume you will eat at an Irani cafe.
More on the neighbourhood, including how to move around it and what is worth walking to, is on the Fort page.
What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Grand Hotel at the moment; hotels in Fort on our list start at about ₹6,900 a night. Check the live price before you plan around a number — Mumbai rates move with the trade-fair and wedding calendars, and a room can double in the week of a large event.
November to February is the expensive season and the comfortable one. June to September — the monsoon — is the cheapest, and the rain is less of an obstacle than people expect if you plan around the mornings.

This is a beautiful hotel with an absolutely olde world charm that transports you to a different time and space in a delightful way. The staff is extremely polite, courteous, helpful and warm - and also very matter-of-fact. Every individual there is helpful. I was specifically told where to buy reasonably priced…Shilpi Sarkar · 5/5
We stayed in room no 52 & 53 on the second floor. Small dingy room. Flooring is broken & tiles are loose. All cheap & commercial tiles. We could not sleep all night as the window AC starts & cuts off every 25 to 30 minutes with a loud thud. The toilets are pathetic. The Shower is blocked & water only comes from 5 to…Austin Haeems · 1/5
This is an Heritage hotel. Very iconic structure, almost 100 yr old. The triangle building has an old world charm. Spread over 4 floors. The restaurant, meeting room and a party hall are all on the ground floor. The lift surrounded by the staircase adds to an unique character. The breakfast could have been better…Hemal Desai · 4/5
