I have stayed in the Colaba area many times in the past 25 years and understand India standards vastly in many cities,have always heard of Godwin and it being popular in the area so decided to give it a try,it wasnt that it was cheaper or only place available.
The service from staff are beyond hospitable,good bunch of people. The manager on duty was very understanding so were the other staff there.
However there has been little to no maintenance to this hotel,if youre going to be making money from something,please make sure you spend to maintain it.
Picture of tub is room 1 apparently it was a suite
The rest of pics were the second room.
Colaba in the Gateway vicinity ask a premium over what you can get in many places in Mumbhai but for convenience its worth the premium as long as it can be clean and neat.
I checked out on the notion i will lose all my money,at that point i did not care,i was not going to be staying there,it was a 5 night booking which i commend the hotel and hotels.com for refunding me about 80% of the fees. Hence why its best to deal with these type of apps then to book directly, its safer in many ways unless you know exactly where you will be staying.

Adequate but nothing special, however the location is excellent.

Great location to explore the city and major sights. Condition of the hotel is not great anymore and requires some upgrades.

First af all, i want to give them props for service, really good. Kept our luggage after check out, gave us a room to shower also. Otherwise, the breakfast needs to be updated, also the hotel itself. There were a lot of ants in the room. Could need a proper “spring cleaning “. Nicely located.

Fantastic location. Great customer care from the bellboy to front desk to room service to the managers to the bar. There is a very clear ethos in this hotel and this kind of attention and care is what hospitality is all about.
The room was perfect and an ode to old Bombay. I cannot recommend this little gem enough.

Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are older, but charming, comfortable and clean. Renovations were ongoing during our stay which made it slightly unpleasant, but I'm sure it will look great after its done. Very close to Mumbai Gate and in a safe area.

Building renovations created delays using the lifts but that caused us more laughs than stress. Management and staff were extremely obliging assisting with cars, taxis and recommendations. Rm801 was extremely suitable for 3 adults with ample room for everyone. Restaurant food in Terrace Bar was delicious especially for the cheeseballs and buttered chicken.
Hotel Godwin is close to the Taj Hotel and Gateway to India. Great street market nearby. Definitely would recommend and offer a vote of thanks to all staff. I will stay again

The room had a veneer of quality. Closer look revealed deep embedded dirt in every corner, bubble gum stuck to walls and mounds of pigeon droppings on the window sills that have never been cleaned.
The highlight was a bathroom drain full of live slugs and a breakfast buffet that was so badly served it looked like someone became sick all over the table. India has many options. Better choose something else.

I have stayed at the Godwin before and, although not glamorous, it was serviceable.
I think that they are going through renovations and an upgrade at the moment, but that meant that a lot of hotel was substandard in the interim. Breakfast was uninspired and more meager than I remember, and we needed to call twice to get enough towels.
Frankly, I think they rates should have been reduced drastically while renovations were underway.

The hotel is situated in a prime position, if a little bit of attention is given to the cleanliness, it could be a very good hotel. They should start with the staff training and appearance, that uniform looks so untidy. Depends which room you get, some rooms are worse than others in how untidy it is, the walls are dirty, the toilets are stained. There are renovated rooms, and there is no maintenance it will soon be like the old rooms. The sad part is, that it is in prime position.

Hotel Godwin was really wonderful place to be. If you are in Mumbai for a short time, really recommend this hotel. Close to the gateways and boats to Elephanta Island. Restaurants are everywhere near here. Also the breakfast on terrace was very nice. They have different menu each morning, they are indian style and continentals. Everything was so tasty!!

Stayed 5th to 16th December. Used as a base for cricket. It was an adequate hotel. But the staff were very good, very helpful and as for Mr Singh at reception he was excellent.

If this was a $20 a night 1 star hotel I would be giving it a better rating but it was $70 a night for a 3.5 star hotel. I found this hotel very overpriced and I'm glad I only booked for 1 night. I was planning to stay a week but found another hotel which was much nicer and much cheaper. The reception staff were absolutely awful and almost rude. The room was old and dirty, with food stains on the desk, cracked floor tiles, I could go on and on. The bathroom was filthy. Sheets were old and stained. Honestly there is nothing good I can say about the place. I don't know how it got 3.5 stars. By european standards it would not be a 1 star.
3.5
I will start with the pros: Good location for local restaurants, sights, transport links. And the manager (owner ?), Mr Singh seems pretty genuine.
Cons: I had booked well in advance through Expedia. I receieved confirmation of my booking. However, when I arrived at the hotel, I was informed by the duty manager that I would not be staying there. But instead, next door at the Garden Hotel. They were full ! So they had taken my booking, but could not accomodate me. I was advised that this was because a family who had been staying there had not vacated as planned. Anyway, I went along to the Garden Hotel. And instantly got the feeling that this was not the same standard, even though the manager had told me so. I went back to discuss this. And was told flatly that they had no rooms and I had to stay next door. After discussing with the duty manager at the Garden Hotel, he let it slip that his hotel (although owned by the same people) was in fact a 2 star. And the Godwin was a 3 Star. So, I was getting a lesser standard hotel for what I had paid for. Only after presevering did I get the promise of a transfer the next morning, and to be fair they gave me dinner on the house. The room I did get however, was on the 2nd floor and was shabby. Windows don't close properly,
The hotel has a bar and restaurant on the roof. But for 2 or the 4 nights I was there they had booked it out for a private function. No hotel residents allowed. Overall I would give this hotel a wide berth.

breakfast is small with limited options. Central location for tourism and shopping on a quiet street.

The hotel is in a good location. The breakfast is pathetic. Attention needs to be paid to the cleanliness. The rooms walls are dirty. The workers should have clean decent uniforms and they should NOT be allowed to use sandals or there "chappals".

Hotel Godwin has an amazing location and provides immense value for the money. The room was spacious and well-apportioned, with a good view of South Mumbai. The daily breakfast buffet was delicious and had good variety. A lot of local Indians and tourists alike were staying here. Service was good and helpful; the manager is charming and funny and took great care of us. He even gave us a tip on how to get to Pune
Rooftop bar was popular among locals.
Also, the box of bottled water you can buy from room service for Rs 200 is a great deal!

The hotel and staff met our expectations. The location was excellent and enabled us to explore Mumbai on foot, at all hours, safely. Definitely worth remembering for short stays.

We've stayed at the Godwin a few times over the years since Shelley's closed and remains that way. It's OK for a moderately priced hotel right in the Colaba area. Colaba is a pain if you are in and out of Mumbai very quickly due to the distance from the airport but it's worth going in if you're in town for a couple of days. Godwin staff don't speak much English apart from the desk guys. It is generally clean and has a nice roof terrace which is great to get away from the hussle and even catch a bit of a breeze up there. Beers are typically and relatively expensive. Food is OK but there is better around. Inclusive breakfast is buffet and functional. There's always some taxis hanging around to make things easy to get about. The Radio Club behind the hotel can be a bit noisy but a room on the Taj Hotel side is generally quieter and has the better view.

I know it is India and not New York City. But my expectations from the reviews had me "looking forward to staying at the Godwin". And I need to give credit upfront to the unbeatable location. Colaba is the bomb, but for me, the hotel bombed out. The gentlemen (are women allowed to work there?) at the front desk upon arrival set the tone. I am trying to think of an adjective to describe the two of them....."unpleasant". Has anyone reupholstered the chairs and sofas since 1959? Incredibly not spectacular. I would say that you cannot beat the location. BUT, there is at least one nicer hotel on the same street......The Ascot.Disappointed from Miami Beach
