What it is
From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including central Malabar Hill — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.
Where it sits
The Shalimar Hotel is in Malabar Hill, at August Kranti Marg Near Kemps Corner, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 15 km from Terminal 2, 4 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 13 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 54 minutes to the airport, 15 minutes to Fort and 46 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 Malabar Hill
Expect serviced apartments rather than hotels. The cluster to look at is Napean Sea Road and the lanes off Bhulabhai Desai Road at the southern shoulder of the hill, where furnished one and two-bedroom apartments run ₹9,000 to ₹18,000 a night, or roughly ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,00,000 a month for a proper let, and the few small hotels sit at ₹8,000 to ₹14,000. Ridge Road itself has almost nothing commercial — if a listing claims a Ridge Road hotel, check whether it is actually a homestay in a co-operative building, which can mean visitor restrictions and no reception after 10pm. Sea-facing on the western side gets the sunset and the monsoon wind; the eastern side over Girgaon gets the city lights. Avoid the immediate Teen Batti hairpin for road noise, and be realistic that groceries and dinner both mean a walk downhill and a taxi back up.

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for The Shalimar Hotel at the moment; hotels in Malabar Hill on our list start at about ₹7,500 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.

Standard smart room is very small. No views of the city. And at the backend of the rooms . We have to cross garbage bins and house keeping carts to reach our room. Also complementary breakfast is not upto the mark. Low value for the money. Except the place in the middle of all happening places , I would have…iruvanti venkat · 4/5
