The Kin Hotel

The Kin Hotel is a practical 3-star stay in Mahim, Mumbai — good value for exploring the area and its landmarks like central Mahim.

What it is

The surrounding Mahim district is one of the most convenient parts of Mumbai to stay in, with restaurants, cafés and transport links close by.

Rates shift with the season and with demand, so the live price on the booking page is always the one to trust — tap through for tonight's or your dates' real availability.

Where it sits

The Kin Hotel is in Mahim, at Veer Savarkar Marg Off Cadell Road, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 8 km from Terminal 2, 10 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 6 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 28 minutes to the airport, 34 minutes to Fort and 20 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 27 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 Mahim

The usable stock is on Lady Jamshedji Road and the lanes off Mori Road, both on the west side, five to ten minutes' walk from Mahim Junction. Expect ₹2,800 to ₹4,500 for a clean AC double with breakfast; ₹6,000 buys you the top of the market here and that is a business hotel near the Hinduja Hospital end of Veer Savarkar Marg, which is also the most useful address if you have early Coastal Road runs into town. Avoid anything advertised as being on the causeway itself — the traffic noise on Mahim Causeway runs from 5am to well past midnight and the buildings are old enough that the windows do nothing. Avoid the strip immediately behind Mahim station on the east side too; it is close to the Dharavi edge, perfectly safe by day, but poorly lit and confusing after dark. Ask for an upper floor facing away from Senapati Bapat Marg.

More on the neighbourhood, including how to move around it and what is worth walking to, is on the Mahim page.

What it costs

We do not hold a live rate for The Kin Hotel at the moment. 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.
