White Cottage Hotel

If you head down Gorai Uttan Road in Borivali West, you will eventually find us. White Cottage Hotel is situated pretty close to the Gorai Beach rickshaw stand, which is usually a very busy spot with people trying to get to the water. The pin code here is 400092. Being near the beach means there's always a bit of salt in the air, so we have to paint the walls more often than people in the city do. We’ve been here for a while, watching the seasons change. The rickshaw drivers outside are mostly folks we know by name because they are here every day. Our hotel isn't one of those high-rise glass buildings you see in the center of Mumbai. It’s more of a local place where the rooms are simple and the staff is just regular people from the neighborhood. We spend our time cleaning up after the weekend crowds and making sure the water tanks are full. The road can get a bit bumpy after the rains, but that's just part of living in this part of Borivali. Sometimes the sea breeze is nice, and other times it just makes everything damp. We don't have any fancy mission statements or anything. We just try to keep the place decent for whoever shows up. It’s a straightforward job for us, and we like being near the beach.
