I choose the property to suit my needs as I was in India for a couple of crowns (dental work) the Hotel Bawa Suites was one of several that the dentist recommended for proximity to the dental practice. And I couldn’t have chosen better. The room was of a good size and very comfortable for my needs, the room attendants Kishore, Savwan and Duvai were not only good at attending to the room services but very proud of their work. The smiles when I saw them were what delighted me the most, and a clean pressed room with a freshly mopped floor everyday was a privilege to have. I was sick when I was there, unfortunately, but knowing the room was cleaned properly, most likely helped in my recovery. The night manager, Suresh, gave me the biggest welcome when I arrived, later than expected, and at some unfriendly hour, but his warm welcoming attitude never stopped. When I became unwell on my 3-4 day, I rang down requesting hot water and honey, it was evident that I was sick, Suresh rushed up what I had requested with extra drinking water. He let me know that if I needed anything from the chemist he would organise to bring me whatever I needed. I thanked him and stayed in my room, the next night, as soon as he started work, he rang my room to check on me and see if I required hot water and honey or anything from the chemist, and again the next night. It was such a reassuring feeling to know that someone was aware of my health, if I deteriorated I know that I would have been assisted just because the night manager, Suresh, had kept an eye of my welfare. I was probably in my room for a good 4-5 days, only left for the dentist and food, as I had pills to take. I tried to stay away from the other guests so that I didn’t make anyone else unwell but they were such a friendly bunch it was difficult to keep them away! All of that has nothing to do with the “hotel” per se but it’s always a good feeling to know that you are safe when you are far from home. The owner of the Hotel was around often, doing her thing, very friendly but busy, and what I liked most was that this had no impact on the staff, they behaved in the same manner when she was not in sight. They were professional and friendly at all times, whether the boss was there or not. In relation to the hotel itself. Clean, comfortable and Indian. Yes, India can be hot, but the air conditioning is powerful. Yes India can be noisy, they like to toot the car horn for everything, the construction site next door may be working at 2am because it’s 40 degrees in the day so bring some good earplugs and you’ll be fine, not a reflection on the hotel itself. The new restaurant Zante at the front of the hotel, will be getting its own separate review it’s that good, an oasis in the desert! What you will find at Bawa, like any other hotel in the world is walls, a bed, a bathroom, fresh linen and towels etc but what you will also find are friendly people, westerners, coming for dental work, having a shared experience and able to offer advice, and also locals who are just a happy bunch of good people, so you’ll never feel lonely or lost, you can do your thing by yourself or you can engage with others and have a great safe trip away from home either way.

“Amazing and peaceful place”

Zante restaurant - nice quit place in an otherwise bustling part of bandra/khar. Nice place to have some quiet time or have meaningful converstions with loved ones. The food and drink is amazing. Try the zante platter. Do ask for Lakshmi. She is an amazing host!

Room service and housekeeping, has been amazing. Friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Linen changed everyday, very affordable laundry service, which was very quick. Aircon is rather noisy which meant I needed to turn it off before sleep, making it quite warm eventually even with the fan on. Durai-Sarwan-Kishor our housekeeping attendant could not be faulted, he was friendly, welcoming and respectful. Happy with our comfortable 23 night stay.
