What it is
Guests typically choose Kala Ghoda for its balance of location and price; Fabexpress Colaba Grand is a good fit if you want to be near the action in Mumbai.
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
Fabexpress Colaba Grand is in Kala Ghoda, at 3Rd Floor Manu Radio Club Building, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 19 km from Terminal 2, 2 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 17 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 69 minutes to the airport, 9 minutes to Fort and 60 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 4 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 Kala Ghoda
Actual Kala Ghoda addresses are few — a handful of boutique properties and heritage apartments on and around V B Gandhi Marg and Ropewalk Lane at ₹9,000 to ₹18,000 a night, and they book out early for the February festival. The sane approach is to sleep on the fringe and walk: Fort hotels along Dr D N Road and Bombay Samachar Marg at ₹4,500 to ₹9,000 are eight minutes away, and Colaba's mid-range blocks on Mandlik Road are twelve. If you want to be inside the quarter, ask for a room off the street side — M G Road carries taxi traffic and horns until midnight, and the lanes behind Jehangir get delivery vans from 6am. Avoid anything marketed as an art-district homestay without confirming the floor and the lift, because these are 1900s buildings and a fourth-floor walk-up with a suitcase is a real event.

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Fabexpress Colaba Grand at the moment; hotels in Kala Ghoda on our list start at about ₹5,900 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.

Good budget hotel in best locality of Mumbai. Gate way of India is on walkable distance. Rooms are small and narrow but clean and well mentained. Calm place.DRSM · 3/5
The hotel is located very close to the Taj Hotel and Colaba Market. The room size is good, but it was not clean, and the bathroom was also unclean. The complimentary breakfast was very disappointing — they only served bread and tea, yet charged more when I booked the room with breakfast included. So, if you're…Biswanath Das · 3/5
The room was sufficient enough, but some people may find it boxy and small. It was a pleasant stay, the staff were humble. But the toilets had always smoking smells. Other than that everything was fine.Kannal Amudhu K · 4/5
