Lonely Planet Review

Occupying two stripey blue and white buildings just down from Kemp's Corner, this isn't a bad choice if you want to be based near the attractions of North Mumbai. Rooms have mid-range facilities at budget rates.

Breach Candy has faded a little since Salman Rushdie lived here, but it's still an upmarket address, which is why it's surprising to find a decent budget hotel here. Kemp's Corner has a tiny reception area, but the Tom Thumb theme doesn't extend to the rooms, which are spacious and comfortable, if a little dated. Singles are just as big as doubles. Facilities include TVs, air-con and phones and the hotel has off-street guest parking. There's a small lift, but for some reason it stops on the mezzanines between the floors. For meals, your best bet is probably Chowpatty, a five-minute cab ride or 20-minute-walk south.
