What it is
From here, Mumbai's main attractions — including central Powai — are an easy walk or short ride away, so you spend less time in transit and more time exploring.
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
Hotel Gateway Star is in Powai, at Gulab Estate Saki Naka, Mumbai. Straight-line, that is about 2 km from Terminal 2, 18 km from CSMT and the Fort offices, and 4 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 7 minutes to the airport, 65 minutes to Fort and 14 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 17 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 Powai
Split the decision by which side of the lake you need. For lake views and conference space, the Renaissance and Lakeside Chalet on Adi Shankaracharya Marg and the Westin at Hiranandani Business Park run ₹9,000–₹16,000 a night midweek, more when a convention fills the ballroom. For eco-certified and quieter, Rodas and Meluha The Fern sit inside Hiranandani Gardens off Central Avenue at ₹6,500–₹11,000. Long-stay consultants should look at serviced apartments around Powai Plaza and Nahar Amrit Shakti in Chandivali, where a month runs ₹65,000–₹1,10,000. Avoid the very cheap guesthouses along Saki Vihar Road near the Chandivali junction — they are ₹2,500 rooms with no lift, generator noise and an unlit 700 m walk to any restaurant. Also avoid anything advertised as Powai but with a Vikhroli or Kanjurmarg address; the highway crossing is miserable on foot.
More on the neighbourhood, including how to move around it and what is worth walking to, is on the Powai page.
What it costs
We do not hold a live rate for Hotel Gateway Star at the moment; hotels in Powai on our list start at about ₹8,900 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.

3.2/5 from 595 reviews · collected through the booking feed, shown as written.
The location of the hotel was not at all as advertised, neither were the details. You have to approach hotel through a slum and stepping out neither feels good nor safe. The rooms are much smaller than the appearance suggests. The bed is just larger than a twin bed and can in no way accommodate 3 adults as advertised…Siddharth Kothari · 1/5
Overall value for money for a single person. The location is a little interior, hence somewhat difficult to locate from cars or main road. Good service, but be very specific while ordering whether you want full portion or half portion; otherwise they assume full portion. Breakfast needs to be ordered in advance and…Amitabha Samajpati · 4/5
Good budget hotel to stay. Clean & tidy. Friendly staff. A little more proactiveness could enhance customer satisfaction. Make sure everything is available before having to ask for it. Rest you have a great place and you guys are helpful. Look forward to stay with you again. Happy Diwali.Durgesh Roy · 4/5
