Hotel TipTop — Hotel in Mumbai

Having read a couple of positive reviews before booking this place, I was surprised and disappointed when we arrived. I do not recommend it for foreign tourists. ||||Pros:||- It was the cheapest room we could find last minute||||Cons:||- The room was not clean enough. The pillowcases were so dingy looking that I didn't feel comfortable putting my face on them||- Cockroaches||- Location. It is hard to find, as the only sign is posted in the dingy ally where the hotel entrance is. Our taxi drove by 3 times, stopping to ask people, before we found it. Upon dropping us off he said "this your hotel? this area is not safe" ||- We booked on agoda. The staff seemed completely unaware of the booking when we checked in. It took a long time to check in.||- As a woman, I did not feel super comfortable there. I was happy to be travelling with my boyfriend, and do not recommend this place for a single woman. ||- The bathrooms did not have...

I stayed in their dorm for 2 days in dec 2014, areawise its a nice location, near to bombay central, clean neighborhood. |The room comprises of around 25 bunk beds, clean, clean balcony too, mind you storage for your bags is too limited, place between beds is extremely little, hardly can 2 people stand, difficult to open your bags.|Toilets and showers are nicely kept and maintained. The crowd they had was also nice. Besides the ones who come once in a while to bother.|They have food in the hotel, but i didnot try it, i used to go to the restaurant for breakfast jus across the road called vasanth bhuvan, extremely clean veg.|Staff helps when asked for, they are always around. Mind you a late check out can cost you a whole days rent, even an hour.|Cleanliness maintained, if you only use d dorm to shower, toilet, and sleep at night its really...

To be determined, but first two night's impressions are very good = good value for Mumbai, which compared to Kolkata has a hotel room shortage.

All I ask for in bachelor accommodation is a simple clean room that does not smell bad, has shared hot water showers, an adjustable-speed ceiling fan, firm mattress, very clean squat latrine, and decent staff. Walk in price must be under INR1200. Bigger corner room with window is 2K. Not what I wanted.

So far, Tip Top 'checks all the boxes'. Ij fact, here is even better than I need. For example, there is wifi in common area and a kitchen for breakfast and supper. No seating area, so this means either eat in your room or in the pleasant walkway in between wings of hotel. It also has laundry service. Western toilet available....
