What it is
The surrounding Girgaon district is one of the most convenient parts of Mumbai to stay in, with restaurants, cafés and transport links close by.
Because pricing is set live by the hotel and its suppliers, the figure shown here is a recent snapshot; check the current rate for your exact dates before booking.
Where it sits
Hotel Balwas International is in Girgaon, at 265 Bellasis Road, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 14 km from Terminal 2, 3 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 12 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 50 minutes to the airport, 12 minutes to Fort and 42 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

Staying in Girgaon
Look at the streets between Charni Road station and Girgaon Chowpatty — Sandhurst Road, Jagannath Shankarsheth Marg, the blocks off Prarthana Samaj — where small business hotels and family-run lodges run ₹3,000 to ₹6,500 a night and a sea-view room at the Chowpatty end can be had for ₹7,000 to ₹9,000. Serviced apartments around Opera House are the smart long-stay option at roughly ₹65,000 to ₹1,10,000 a month. Standards are patchy: insist on seeing the room, check the water pressure and whether the air conditioning is a window unit, and confirm the lift exists. Avoid ground-floor rooms on the main roads, where traffic starts at 6am and Ganpati loudspeakers can run past midnight in season. Avoid the very cheapest lodges near the station touting hourly rates. Book anything for September and for Diwali week at least a month ahead.

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Hotel Balwas International at the moment; hotels in Girgaon on our list start at about ₹6,800 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.

Would give 0 star if there was an option. Absolute con of a hotel. They have exec rooms at double the rate on the 1st floor but turkey awful. Mosquito’s everywhere, room smelt full of cigarettes even tho hotel is non smoking, nothing worked and the mattress was awful. Shower was flooding, nothing worked kettle and…Yaz Umarjee · 1/5
Rooms are not maintained, poor room service, intercom were not working in any rooms, only one lift was working, you will not feel lonely if you are alone as there are many insects in the roomsYavar Pothiawala · 3/5
A worst hotel to stay, no proper services. They claim to be a four star however cant provide dental kits. Bedbugs and cockroach will join you for a dinner as well. The washroom has constant irritating sound. The blankets are a joke. A pathetic experience with high price.Uvesh Samol · 1/5
