Taj President Hotel

This was one of my favourite of the Taj Hotels we stayed at. We had a deluxe suite.The decor was modern but tasteful. The colours were pale natural tones and very soothing. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had no complaints whatsoever.
There was a welcome gift of a chocolate cake, in addition to the fruit. Tea and coffee making facilities and bottled water are provided.

Unique Quality: The restaurants are nice both by day and night. The view from our 16th floor window showed us part of the bay, and great view in general.
The bathroom was particularly impressive as it had non-slip floors of some sandstone textured flooring.

I actually didnt stay here, but did use the loo, but thats a different story altogether..anyway its in the business district of Mumbai, very business like. Value for money

Unique Quality: The coffee shop in its premises has some lipsmacking cakes and choclates. An antique and jeweley store to empty your wallets as well.

Nice hotel. big rooms and bathrooms.
Rooms have high ceilings & modern decor and are very well lit.
Its buffet breakfast are very popular among the business travellers

Unique Quality: Swimming pool, fitness centre, beauty parlour, barber shop, travel desk, car rental, pastry shop, currency exchange, safe deposit lockers, doctor-on-call and baby-sitting.
24-hour room service and laundry service.

I was expecting that a business hotel should at least have one working shredder. But this one did not have. The good thing about it was that the staff was kind enough to offer me two options: (1) to refer me to their sister hotel, Taj Mahal, some 10 mins from my hotel; and (2) for the staff to manually shred the extra files himself. While the first option sounded a bit inconvenient, having to carry loads of paper to Taj Mahal, the second option provided a much needed comic relief after a long day of meetings.

To finish the story, I offered myself a third option - shred the paper myself, manually, in the comfort of my room :-)

Unique Quality: Staff's offer to manually shred the document himself was a comical shot at guest service, to say the least.

Directions: In south Mumbai, near Colaba shopping area

Bombay is an expensive place but has some nice hotels. I don't have a lot of info about hotels. I am sure that can be gathered from the Net. My recommendation is that of you have a friend living in Bombay stay with them. Its more fun:). of course if you are travelling on business, well you can stay at the Taj, President, Oberoi or Sea Princess at Juhu etc.
