Budget
Midrange
Ship Hotel
3 Rd Floor, Bharti Bhavan Opp Govt Dental College, Mumbai G.P.OFort, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400001. One of the, if not "the", cheapest place in Mumbai. Advertised rates as of 28/03/2009 are 140rs for basic dorm bed, 180rs for A/C Dorm Bed, 220RS for Single no A/C, Shared Bathroom, and 330!for double non A/C Shared Bathroom. The cheap prices make it extremely popular with Indian businessmen and tourists. Arrive at 9AM for the best chance to bag a room, but it's extremely close to CST make it easy to check first when you get off the train, if it's full, the surrounding Fort area between CST and Colaba is a much better option to find cheap hotels instead of Colaba rs 300
Sheel Hotel
As of 29/03/2009, a double with fan and shared bathroom costs just 440RS A/C rooms were upwords of 1000Rs, I did not enquire about singles but they should certainly be cheaper, making this a great cheap option finding anything under 600RS is extremely hard in Mumbai . The bathrooms are non-flush squat style, and the showers suck, but the price is right and the sheets are clean. This is a particularly good option given it's extremely proximity to CST 5 minutes walk, at the most, saving you the hassle of a taxi ride, and putting you in the spectacular Fort area, and sparing you from the lameness of Colaba. Note that the writer could not find any room double under 600RS in Colaba, take heed. Food tends to be cheaper in this area as well, as it's less frequented by foriegn tourists. WARNING! This place is an absolute nightmare. Only stay here if you want to stay in dirty rooms, on dirty sheets, listening to one of the miscreants downstairs beating dogs. Awful. 625r for double AC, no windows. For 800r you can have a lovely double, light, airy, no AC- in Hotel Lawrence, ignore the freaky entrance. 3rd floor, ITTS Building, Shree Sai Baba S.B. Marg, near Museum.

Taj Mahal Hotel
