Hotel Bandra Residency

People often get confused because our address says Bandra Station twice, but it is just because we are really that close to the West side platform. You walk out of Bansidhar Bhuvan and you are basically right in the middle of everything. It is loud here, I won't lie to you. The trains are constant and the rickshaw drivers are always shouting for fares, but that is just how Bandra is. We have been running this place for a while now and it is mostly for people who need to be near the suburban line. The rooms are what you would expect for this price in Mumbai—not huge, but they do the job if you just need to sleep and shower. My staff and I try to keep things tidy, even with all the dust from the road. Sometimes the elevator is a bit slow, so if you are in a rush, just take the stairs. Most of our guests are here for work or maybe visiting family nearby. We do not have a fancy lobby with marble floors or anything like that. It is just a plain entrance. If you need a tea or something, there are plenty of stalls right outside. Living and working here, you get used to the fast pace. It is not a resort, just a building in a very busy spot. We see a lot of people come and go every day, and we just try to keep things simple and functional for everyone.
