Fariyas Hotel

Multiple notes of corridor carpet smell, housekeeping trolley left in corridor, and chemical/termite spray odor affecting rooms — cleanliness clearly below expected standards.

Mixed reports: front-desk coordination and early check-in handling were poor, but several staff (Ms Uzma, Ms Varsha) were singled out as very helpful and attentive.

Repeatedly praised as excellent — walking distance to Colaba street shopping and very convenient for sightseeing and transport.

Rooms described as small/box-like, poor soundproofing, creaky/aging flooring, bathroom issues (leaking shower head, poor lock/ventilation) — room quality is a weak point.

Amenities are generally present, but Wi‑Fi performance was repeatedly reported as unreliable and the hotel Wi‑Fi policy/response was unsatisfactory; other basic supplies (water) were adequate.

Guests questioned the 4‑star positioning given maintenance and room issues, but excellent location and helpful staff mitigate perceived value.

Breakfast described as a very nice, big spread by one guest; another noted crowding/chaos due to small breakfast area — food quality is strong though service environment can be busy.

Overall impression is mixed but leans positive due to excellent location, several helpful staff and good breakfast; significant shortcomings in room condition, noise and cleanliness tempered the stay.
