If you can get a room at Fort Residency then go for it. It is usually full, and with good reason as it is a good value hotel in a good location.

thanks Phil- better get booking then

feelthevibe has recommended the Causeway hotel

Residency Fort
Stayed there 2 yrs ago rooms are basic but very clean youll be right in the heart of mumbia and as youve been before i think this will be a good choice hotel for you
CST is just 10 minute walk a must see along with many other places and the famous Mahesh lunch home is just around the corner Dont get the pick up service get a pre paid taxi to take you
any more info just ask
Enjoy yourselves

Thanks Sharon
Good tip re the pick up service as we were thinking of booking the pick up. However, they won't take direct bookings till 3 months beforehand for some reason. Can find them on Expedia so might look at what they charge - but its too early for them, by about a week or so. I think I may have to book through them as I can't see rooms being available direct from the hotel at all. Perhaps they get money up front by using Expedia? Would you have time to give it its first review please? We have it here- even a basic one would be great
I'm having trouble persuading OH that we need to look at more basic hotels than last year. This one does seem fine but he is panicking a bit with my suggestion of the Causeway. ( I thought it was us women who were supposed to panic over things like hotels )

Has anyone stayed at the Ascot? It looks like a good compromise between budget and luxury. OH is still panicking over that word- budget
