Sofitel Mumbai BKC

This would be the best stay so far and were amazed at every second of our stay.

My first review, so please bear with me :)

Booking and Airport Pickup

Status: Accor Plus Platinum

I booked a Junior Suite for 2 nights during a sale, Used 10000 points and 70 Euros Cash.
Airport pickup and drop were part of the rate, so requested an airport pickup

Chaffuer and the Manager were waiting for me when I arrived, was swiftly taken to a Toyota Innova in the VIP pickup area (same floor as the exit from the Mumbai Airport T2 domestic)

Was offered some water and soda.

Check In

While in the car, the manager called the hotel to let them know that we are about to pull in to the hotel. Upon arriving, the staff was waiting for me, felt very special. I was directly taken to the room for check-in.

I was upgraded to the Prestige Suite (as I was hoping for).
Was given a welcome letter, Drink voucher for 2 and a small cake and flowers (My birthday month, they knew!). I asked them to take the cake away and bring it back the next day (as my wife & son would be joining me the next day)

Room

Service

The next day, when the cake arrived, we were in for a great surprize :)

We enjoyed the wine.. 

IMG_20160723_122020.jpgIMG_20160723_122445.jpgIMG_20160723_121947.jpg

We opened a bag of chips and box of nuts from the minibar and were really full. 
We then ordered room service for my son and few mins later, the food came in along with the F&B Manager thanking us for our loyality and also bought some complementory juices and chips.

Dining

This section covers the Lounge, the pics are during the cocktail hour.
We visited the lounge several times, for breakfast, tea, some fruits for my son.

During the cocktail hour, they served some hot snaks, my wife wanted to eat some paneer (cottage cheese snack) which was not a part of their offering. Upon request, It was specially made for her which made us feel very special.

Overall

Every where we went in the hotel, we constantly had staff come to us and thank us for our Loyality. They even offered us a tour of the hotel and showed us their one and only Imperial Suite which has a huge living area, 2 bed rooms and study/fitness room and a kitchenette for the butler. They said they don't release the Imperial suite for booking and is only for special deligates and celebrities. We were simply amazed.

The best stay of our lives!

Will definetly recommend and will visit again.

Looks great except this horrible wine they gave you. La vieille ferme is a very very cheap brand (about 3 or 4 euros at my supermarket) and is really bad. A shame that they are serving that as a plat gift.

And I was looking at these bath amenities. No Hermes in suite! What is this The French Notes? Seems to be locally made and nothing to do with French luxury other than name maybe. Good that you were satisfied and service at least sounds good!

Oh Goldorak, by the time the wine reaches Mumbai's store, this wine would have retailed for 30-40 Euros a bottle, trust me. For me, it's not the price but at least the wine has to be drinkable, be it a cheap but cheerful Vin de Table.

Yup.. the retail price printed on the bottle is around 25 Euros.
It may be cheap wine but it didn't taste bad and we did get a buzz..

The bath amenities suck! The body lotion actually smells bad, stale and old oil kind of smell.
They did have nice bath salts at the bath tub, so that was a plus!
I like Novotel bath amenities better.

Looks like a nice hotel. But pity the bathroom amenities, no Hermes or L'Occitane. That's a no-no for me. Especially for Sofitel standards

I have just completed a week business stay at this hotel.
From the first minute till the last I cannot begin to express how great this hotel and their staff have been.
I would highly recommend it if you are in Mumbai for work.

Fantastic stay

Updating a very old thread to echo that the hotel still has exceptionally high standards.

Platinum member

Received complimentary upgrade to king bed room on a higher floor with lounge access of course. Room and bathroom feel luxurious and were kept clean and well stocked with complimentary bottled water (minimum 6 bottles a day).

Staff were courteous and very accommodating, even guards at the hotel.

Location of the hotel is great for business as it is in the Bandra district and only 10/15 mins drive from the airport. Takes a while if you wish to go to the heart of the older city and towards the gateway of India.

All in all definitely a hotel I will be using any time I visit Mumbai.
