The location is excellent - close to the major attractions and near to Leopolds - a bar/restaurant where Europeans seem to meet. The rooms are quite large and the bathroom is a treat. Everything is very clean and the breakfast room is pleasant. The reception team are helpful. A quiet oasis in a hectic area. more

Mumbai came at the end of our Goal holiday, so we only stayed a couple of nights in the Ascot.

Check-in was at 2 p.m. but we were fobbed off with excuses until after 6 p.m. Room was spacious, but of dubious cleanliness Not sure why this hotel warrants such a high ranking more

Despite having read other reviews that mentioned some trouble with having a room available when they arrived, our room was ready and waiting for us, even though we didn't show up until 5 am of... more

We have stayed at the Ascot several times and also several different hotels in Mumbai over the years. The Ascot is best value for money, clean & comfortable.
