There are many cheap guesthouses/hotels in Mumbai, especially around Colaba area -- south of Mumbai.

Even if a guesthouse advertises for "very clean rooms" or "luxury rooms" -- double check it. That's because these terms are loosely used by the Indians and doesn't necessarily mean that it really is a very clean room.

If you want to splurge and stay at a hotel, I can tell you that in general the security at the hotels has gone up after the terrorist attacks in December 2008... That's a relief!

Here are the guesthouses I stayed at:

Sea Hotel

Price per night: 600 rupees (Oct 2007)

The hotel was alright and the staff was eager to carry our bags. So the service was good. For 200 rupees each, the room was OK. It had a bathroom and air-con.

But we were three people who had to share a small double bed. And I remember that we woke up in the middle of the night, because we heard cockroaches crawling across the floor and inside the walls. Just the thought of it, gives me goose bumps..!

So, you really get what you paid for in Mumbai…

Sea Shore Hotel

Price per night: 550 rupees (Oct 2007)

If you just want a cheap place to stay, Sea Shore is a good option!

Seashore has an excellent location, and the Indian man behind the desk was helpful and friendly. The room was spacious, had windows, air-con and shared bathroom. A really rundown and dirty bathroom though.

You`re not the only one living there!

... There were cockroaches crawling in the halls and bathroom and bed bugs.

After one night, one of my travelling companions woke up with bites all over her body. I got bitten as well. But I covered my bed with a duvet cover I brought for the trip, so I didn`t get bitten that much.
