Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach - Hotel Review

Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach

Address: Balraj Sahani Marg, Juhu Beach, Mumbai

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 7 nights in January 2023. Situated along the picturesque Juhu Beach with captivating views of the Arabian Sea, this hotel offers guests direct access to the beach from the rear of the property. Its central location provides convenient proximity to various facilities, while the Metro Station is just 3 km away.

Notably, this area is renowned for its Bollywood studios, including the famous Prithvi Theater, where we had the pleasure of witnessing Naseeruddin Shah's captivating performance during our visit. The hotel boasts excellent amenities that greatly enhance the overall experience. The staff members are remarkably polite and attentive, ensuring that our seven-night stay was nothing short of delightful.

One standout individual is the hotel's esteemed master chef, fondly referred to as "JP," who personally ensured that our dining experiences were always pleasant. We even have a photo of him, which is included in this review. The rooms were immaculate, and our spacious 17th-floor accommodation afforded us breathtaking views of the beach.

What truly enhanced our stay was the unparalleled convenience of accessing the beach within a minute's walk from the hotel, regardless of the time of day. This feature allowed us to relish the beach atmosphere throughout our entire stay. There is a cool cab taxi (blue air conditioned cabs) station just outside the hotel.

We were able to negotiate a full day cab rate with one of the taxi drivers who owned his taxi for Rupees 2000/- per day (about $25 per day) regardless of distance or time. During the day our friendly and may I say reliable taxi driver was available to us from 8 am till we returned to the hotel around 8 or 9 pm every day.
