The hype
Travelers universally praise the breakfast spread and the helpful staff, but many find the location 'industrial' and the traffic horrific.
Radisson Blu Mumbai International Airport
$110-160/ night
Book this if You have a layover in Mumbai and refuse to battle the legendary traffic into South Bombay.
Why People Love It
- Rooftop infinity pool with runway views (rare in this price bracket)
- Fiona's breakfast buffet is a massive, multi-cuisine spread that actually justifies the wake-up call
- Soundproofed rooms that effectively mute the chaotic Andheri streets
Quick Take: A polished, modern transit sanctuary that does the job perfectly, provided you don't expect a resort vibe in the middle of an industrial zone.
Reviewed by @chhaviverg: I stayed here during my Mumbai trip and it was the perfect reset. The meditation courtyard is incredibly peaceful, and the rooftop pool is a vibe. Plus, the breakfast buffet actually has healthy options that taste good. Highly recommend for a solo stay.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
While the rooms are soundproofed, the first room on each floor (e.g., 401, 501) suffers from elevator and hallway noise.
- You need to be within 15 minutes of T2 International Terminal
- You appreciate a 24-hour fitness center to fight jet lag
- You want a rooftop bar scene without leaving your hotel
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally prompt and daily, but some reviews mention missed dusting on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and clean, though a few guests reported slow-draining showers.
- Maintenance: Newer property feel, but watch out for 'tired' carpets in high-traffic hallways.

- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh signature fragrance; hallways can occasionally smell of damp carpet (monsoon issue).

What to pack
- Universal travel adapter (Type D/M plugs are common)
- Swimsuit for the rooftop pool (it's the best feature)
- Earplugs if you end up in a lower-floor room
Room Genie
Best picks
- Superior Rooms on higher floors (7th+) for better views and less street noise

Rooms to avoid

- Lower floor rooms facing the main Marol Maroshi road (traffic horn hell)
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am a light sleeper requesting a room on a high floor (7th or above), away from the elevator and service doors. A pool view would be preferred over the street view.”
