The hotel is very centrally located in Mumbai and offers value for money product. It is more a business hotel than leisure hotel. However, the service needs to be improved and that is possible with having more trained staff. Hotel management has probably the largest chain of hotels in Mumbai and that gives confidence about doing business because they can offer maximum rooms.
This Astoria Hotel has develop good meeting halls and that ensures flow of business from various business houses.
I will recommend this hotel for people going to Mumbai on business trip. The bulding should be declared as heritage building because this is synonemous to Mumbai and needs a special care. The hotel should be illuminated from outside to give its old heritage status if special food festival etc. can be organised by the hotel from time to time, it will be big attraction for people in Mumbai and tourists because of the central location.
Mr. Rekesh Mehra, proprietor of the Hotel needs special congratulations for bringing this hotel to such greater heights and hotel is always full that indicates the claim with I have put forth that it is really a budget hotel with lot of luxury built in.
