Staying at Hotel Marine Plaza feels like embracing old-school elegance with a generous dose of comfort and sea-front charm. The hotel sits right on the famous Marine Drive — giving many rooms sweeping views of the Arabian Sea and the shimmering “Queen’s Necklace” coastline. From the rooftop terrace or a balcony-facing room, the sunrise or nighttime skyline panorama is a highlight.
Rooms are typically spacious, well-appointed, and air-conditioned, with large windows to enjoy sea-facing vistas. Guests often praise the cleanliness, comfortable bedding and the calm atmosphere — a solid base for both business and leisure stays.
Dining at the hotel offers convenience: the 24-hour multi-cuisine restaurant Bayview serves a good variety of dishes — ideal after a long day out exploring the city or during a late arrival. For relaxation, there’s an outdoor pool (rooftop/terrace-style) and a modest fitness centre, which add nice value especially if you're staying in.
The location couldn’t be more ideal: just a short walk from train stations, key business hubs, and major tourist spots like Colaba Causeway and Gateway of India, making sightseeing or commuting quite easy.
That said — a few touches feel dated: some bathrooms and furnishings reflect their age and could benefit from renovation. And during busy nights, noise from nearby bars or pubs may reach rooms on lower floors.
Overall, Hotel Marine Plaza represents a practical balance of sea-view luxury, strategic location, and decent comfort. I’d recommend it for travellers who want to enjoy Mumbai’s iconic coastline and stay somewhere central and reliable.
