For us coming to Mumbai, the Lakeside Chalet is our preferred place to stay. We had a spacious two bedroom apartment on the 5th floor for us and for my parents in law another one bedroom apartment just next door. The apartment was clean and had all we needed. The laundromat is one major advantage for us, especially travelling with three kids where you get lots of dirty laundry. We stayed for 16 nights and my kids enjoyed the facilities (pools, the kids play room, table tennis etc.) - they found new friends there as well. We also connected to a few of the long stay residents and it just became a home away from home for us. I was there for business. The location is about 20 minutes from the next train station and about the same distance from the next metro station (but a new metro line will open soon which won't be that far away anymore). It is a quiet place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A good place to return and relax a bit after a long day at work. What makes a big difference at a hotel is the staff. Besides doing their job, they really went out of their way to make us feel home in Mumbai. To some of them we had a closer connection and consider them as friends. We look forward to coming back, not only to enjoy the hotel facilities, but also to see a few of our friends again. Just to give a small example: When we came last year, they had a dessert on the menu which we really loved and that was not available anymore when we came this year. But we loved it and especially when bringing my mother in law from Germany, I wanted to have her try this dessert, because I knew she would love it. Chef Ravi was our hero and made it possible. Also when I had stomach problems, he created a special meal for me which was not on the menu, but it was delicous on the one hand AND also helped with my stomach. It would be a long list to mention everyone, but to name a few more: Nishant, Dinanath, Ankita, Vikrant, Joel, Lionel, the guys from houskeeping and at the reception etc... It's a great team and we are really looking forward to coming back. I plan to come back within the next two months, but we as a family are also looking forward to spending time at the Lakeside Chalet again in the near future.
