What it is

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

Where it sits

Hotel Alka Residency is in Bhandup & Mulund, at Opp Ashok Cinema, Station Road, Thane. Straight-line, that is about 16 km from Terminal 2, 31 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 18 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 56 minutes to the airport, 110 minutes to Fort and 62 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 25 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 Bhandup & Mulund

Mulund's hotels are small and modest by Mumbai standards, mostly independent business hotels and a few budget chains near the station, with almost nothing at the international-brand end. A double room runs roughly ₹2,500 to ₹5,500 a night, among the cheaper rates on the Central line, and rooms are rarely fully booked outside the wedding season from October to February, when local halls push up demand for a few weeks at a time. This suits budget-conscious travellers, families staying with or near relatives, and anyone prioritising quiet streets and proximity to the Yeoor Hills over a central location. It does not suit visitors who want to walk to restaurants and shops in the evening, since Mulund's commercial streets close down relatively early, or anyone whose itinerary is built around south Mumbai and the Bandra-Worli belt, which sit well over an hour away by road and require a rail…

What it costs

We do not hold a live rate for Hotel Alka Residency at the moment; hotels in Bhandup & Mulund 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.
