Sea Green

Sea Green Review

The green trimmings on this five-story building have been weathered by the Arabian Sea during this hotel's more than 50 years of hosting guests. Beyond its friendly service, the hotel's main virtue is that it's a remarkable bargain for its price and location, if you don't mind the government-office look that implies that nothing has changed around here since Independence. Narrow hallways lead to surprisingly large rooms with window air-conditioners and clean but institutional furnishings, such as metal wardrobes and vinyl couches. All rooms but one have small balconies; a few look across Marine Drive to the sea and offer a splendid view of Mumbai's famous sea promenade. The bathrooms have only open showers, no stalls or tubs. Room service offers beverages and simple breakfasts only. Don't mistake this place for the hotel's twin—the Sea Green South Hotel—next door, where rooms are slightly less hospitable.
