What it is
From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including central Matheran — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.
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
Kishish Kunj is in Matheran, at Plot No 37 B Road Number 6 Near Dena Bank Santacruz East Golibar Santacruz East Mumbai Maharashtra 400055 India, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 3 km from Terminal 2, 15 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 3 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 9 minutes to the airport, 55 minutes to Fort and 11 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.

Staying in Matheran
Stay on or just off MG Road if you want to walk to food and the market — mid-range hotels there run ₹3,500 to ₹6,500 a night in season, most with mandatory meal plans that are actually good value. The heritage bungalows are scattered along the Charlotte Lake and Louisa Point directions: bigger rooms, wood floors, verandahs, ₹8,000 to ₹18,000, and a 15 to 25 minute walk in from Dasturi Naka that you should factor into arrival planning. Budget lodges near the railway station are ₹1,800 to ₹2,800 and often noisy with tour groups. Two things to avoid: any property that describes itself as five minutes from the station without specifying whether that is walking or on horseback, and weekend rates in April–May and Diwali, when the same room can double. Book porters through your hotel in advance; freelance rates at the car park are negotiable but the negotiation happens while you stand in the…

What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Kishish Kunj at the moment; hotels in Matheran on our list start at about ₹10,600 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.

Very small, congested hotel, easy to locate but not very well furnished. Each room's walls have bad looking patches of dampness. Bathroom ceiling is covered by one plastic sheet to cover AC's split unit and patches. Room was not cleaned properly, cigarettes smell were all through the room which were not going. Not…Maharishi Singh · 1/5
AVOID! A BIG NOOOO TO THIS HOTEL. Very unhygienic, choked bathroom, unclean bed sheet and pillows. Very rude and unprofessional staffs. There is no room service and they do not respond on calling from room to their reception counter. One has to go down to ask something and after that also they do not respond…Ashok Prasad · 1/5
