“Phenomenal Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This was by far my most memorable and relaxing business travel experience. The staff were incredibly accommodating, kind and helpful the entire stay. If you don't like attention, this hotel is not for you. The front desk staff and their colleagues went out of their way to make sure our stay was impeccable and they succeeded.
The rooms were spotless, inviting, relaxing and a comforting place to come back to at the end of a day. My first evening, after hours and hours of travel, I rented a movie, called for room service from Thai Pavilion (amazing!) and took a relaxing hot rain shower in the big, accommodating bathroom. The bed was heaven and you could even pick a pillow to your taste - smell, firmness, etc. The marketing and sincere concern of the staff for every element of our stay was refreshing and it made out stay in Mumbai the best of our entire trip to India. There was a spa, gym (with free personal trainers), a pool and even an in-house astrologer if you were so inclined. The on-site restaurants were great. Thai Pavilion was amazing; the Italian restaurant was great for breakfast, ok for dinner; we did not visit the Indian restaurant mostly because it smelled very odd. We indulged instead in Indian food at outside restaurants.
I have to thank the entire team there for their hospitality and my colleagues and I will definitely be back because I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

Room Tip: I was upgraded to a bay & city view and it was gorgeous waking up to the sunrise over the city a...

“elegant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

We spent 2 nights at the Taj President in February 2012 at the end of our India trip. The hotel is elegant and modern. They gave us a free late check as our flight was only late at night. They were overall very friendly and helpful providing excellent restaurant recommendations. The drinks at Winks were superb. If you are choosing the hotel for vocation you will also appreciate the pool area as well as the spa. We can strongly recommend this hotel also for leisure travellers.

“Stunning in everyway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

person found this review helpful

After a slight hiccup with our booking via booking.com, quickly sorted by the duty manager, things just got better and better. Cocktail reception around the pool on the first night gave a glimpse into the friendliness and the quality of food that we were to enjoy over the next few days. The food at the Trattoria Italian restaurant was sublime, and the staff run by the quite brilliant maitre d', Siddhesh, were top rate. A lovely surprise, yet to be opened, are little gifts for our 10/11 year old twins left at our room by the charming Keike, who we met at the cocktail reception and gave us loads of tips of what to see during our stay along with some insight into life in cosmopolitan Mumbai. travelling with or without kids, stay here if you can.

Room Tip: With kids opt for a suite!

“Personalized stay at the Taj Vivanta President”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

We were upgraded to a beautiful suite during our 3 night stay in February 2012 and were very impressed with the personal attention at this hotel. It was really hard to believe there are so many rooms considering the number of staff who knew us by name after the first day. Service was simply exceptional. We were also invited to an evening cocktail by the pool and had nice conversations with the hotel manager and staff.

In terms of food - breakfast was excellent and we had a very good dinner at the Konkan Café. We checked out very early so the hotel prepared us a complimentary packed breakfast for the airport.

The only negative point was that the in-room safe was not attached to the inside of the closet, which made it feel insecure – but this was minor.

We would definitely stay here again!

“Perfect in Every Way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012

My stay at the Taj President (as all the taxi drivers know it) in Mumbai was spectacular. Perfect in every way. The level of customer service was superior. They accommodated every single request and even greeted me by name on multiple occasions. The location was removed from the main hustle of Colaba, but easily within walking distance or a very short taxi ride to anywhere in South Mumbai.
