                <description><![CDATA[It's not the Taj, but it's spotless, comfortable, quiet (a blessing!) and very close to the airport. If you have an early morning flight, check in here the night before rather than drive to the airport for three hours on your last day. Good breakfast, too.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The new place for doing business is the Bandra Kurla Complex; the Grand Hyatt is five minutes away and is very good, with an Italian restaurant that serves excellent pizza. The area’s a bit grungy but the hotel has its own ten-acre plot and once inside it has everything you’d want – including faxes in the rooms and Wi-Fi.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[If you're just in Mumbai for the day, passing through, stay at the Leela. It's a good five-star hotel two minutes from the international airport. Mumbai is a fantastic city but traffic can be a problem so if you don't have to journey into her, don't.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Ask for rooms 805/06 and get a magnificent view of Coloba and the Gate of India.<br><br>The owner, Mr Singh is a gentleman of the first order and will (on request) sort everything out for you.<br><br>The most sensible thing we did was, as we were arriving at the airport at 11:00pm, pre-order collection by car (four-wheel drive and aircon) from the hotel.<br><br>It cost £13 but given the subsequent hassles at every airport/train/bus station involving taxi drivers it was worth every penny and more.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A brilliant hotel! They picked us up from the airport even though we were three hours late, and treated us like royalty, nothing was too much trouble. <br><br>Very comfortable hotel, with fantastic rooftop restaurant and lovely food. If I ever had to stay overnight in Mumbai, I would stay here.]]></description>
