Aga Beg’s & Hotel Kishan Ground, 2nd & 3rd floor, Shirin Manzil, Walton Rd 022 2284 2227; map. Muslim-run pair of budget guesthouses on different floors of the same building. Their differently priced rooms (up to ₹3000) are nice and clean, some jazzily decorated. A/c costs ₹350 extra. ₹1500

Ascot 38 Garden Rd 022 6638 5566, ascothotel.com; map. One of the oldest and most comfortable small hotels in Mumbai, updated with contemporary glass-and-marble designer interiors and spacious modern rooms. Their Deluxe rooms (₹8151) are twice the size of the Superiors. ₹7434

Backpacker Panda 15, Walton Road 917 231 3994, backpackerpanda.com; map. India's newest chain of cool backpacker hostels has its flagship in Colaba, with graffiti style art on the walls and a fun, relaxed atmosphere in the communal living space. Dorms ₹950, doubles ₹1800

Bentley’s 17 Oliver Rd 022 2284 1474, bentleyshotel.com; map. Dependable old Parsi-owned favourite in five different colonial tenements, all on leafy backstreets. Rooms are quiet, secure and spacious, if a little worn, though the overall shabbiness isn’t compensated for by the rates, which are higher than you’d expect for the level of comfort. Singles ₹2788; doubles ₹3776

Godwin Jasmine Building, 41 Garden Rd 022 2287 2050, hotelgodwin.in; map. Smart three-star with large, international-standard rooms and great views from the rooftop garden restaurant and upper floors (ask for #804, #805 or #806). Not quite in the same league as the nearby (and comparably priced) Ascot but a sound choice nonetheless. ₹7552

Gordon House 5 Battery St 022 2289 4400, ghhotel.com; map. Chic designer boutique place behind the Regal cinema. Each floor has a different theme: Scandinavian, Mediterranean and Country, plus there’s a Versailles Suite. ₹8850

Lawrence 3rd floor, 33 Sri Sai Baba Marg (Rope Walk Lane), off K Dubash Marg, behind TGI’s 022 2284 3618 or 6633 6107; map. Close to the Jehangir Art Gallery, this is arguably south Mumbai’s best rock-bottom choice, with five well-scrubbed doubles (plus two singles and two triples for ₹900 and ₹1800 respectively) with fans, and not-so-clean shared shower-toilets. Be warned though, it’s a long slog up three floors of filthy wooden steps if the (decrepit) lift isn’t working. No wi-fi. Advance booking essential. ₹3000

Moti International 10 Best Marg 022 2202 5714, [email protected]; map. Quiet and friendly hotel in a characterful old colonial building. Rooms are cosy and clean; most (but not all) have windows. All come with a/c, fridge, TV and complimentary soap and towels. Good value. ₹3500

Red Shield Red Shield House, 30 Boram Behram (Mereweather) Rd, near the Taj hotel 022 2284 1824, [email protected]; map. Ultrabasic bunk beds in cramped, stuffy dorms (lockers available), or larger doubles. Rates include a basic breakfast, served in a sociable canteen. Maximum one-week stay. Dorms ₹500, doubles ₹1400

Sea Palace Kerawalla Chambers, 26 PJ Ramchandani Marg (Apollo Bunder) 022 2284 1828, seapalacehotel.net; map. Best of the three mid-range hotels at the quiet end of the harbour front, although the rooms come as a bit of a disappointment for the price, with old-fashioned decor and worn furnishings. All are a/c but sea views cost extra.
