Hotel Aram - Budget hotel in Bandra east
Hotel Lucky on S V Road in bandra west

Hotel Aram is closest budget hotel to the consulate in BKC I'm aware of. I have not stayed in either of them so can't comment on cleanliness.

Hai,

Planning for a solo drive to Ooty on May 7/8... Can anybody suggest a cheap accomodation option for just one night. Maximum budget is 1200-1500. I know it is peak season in Ooty. since i am driving a petrol car all the way from Trivandrum, 80% of my budget belongs to Indian Oil Cooperation..:Shockked::Shockked:

Hi,
I have seen both Hotel Aaram and Hotel Arma Court.

Hotel Arma Court is on the west side of the highway; on the road that goes to Bandra Terminus. The interiors are cleaner comparatively. The hotel is not that well ventilated.

Hotel Aaram is on the East side of the highway, near Collector office. It has premises better ventilated compared to Arma Court. But interiors are too old and not at all maintained. I found bathroom latches not working, paint peeling off the walls, taps of poor quality etc.

If it is just an overnight stay, I would suggest Arma Court. Tarriff at both places was between 1500 to 2500 per night. Some negotiation was possible at Arma Court, no negotiation at Aaram.

I'm unaware of Arma court. The place I suggested is Aram in Kalanagar Bandra East locality near MIG Club. The consulate would be a 15 minutes ride in a cab / auto rickshaw from there.

Melvins Homestay, Mepaddi, Wayanad.

A very simple, yet clean and good service defines this place. I stayed here last weekend. Rates are reasonable, a 1 bedroom suite with living room costed 2500 inclusive of breakfast and plantation walk. If you have a small kid then its definitely recommended as they allow you to boil milk, or clean baby vessels on your own.

Arma court is next to Bandra court on the station road. Aram hotel would be better location wise and has easy access to BKC.

I stayed at Mugilu for the May 1st weekend. Went alongwith a group and had a very good experience. Good food, Nice rooms coupled with fantastic views make it a sureshot destination.

Have decided that I will make another trip post monsoon.

Thanks Chandan & Sapna for a wonderful 3 days at Mugilu.:) More info at :

Any suggestions for a good home stay in Coonor? Nothing too costly, but has to be kids friendly.

There is a cheese making farm called Acres Wild. Its run by Mansoor Khan. Thats a good place.

Need some suggestions for a good, clean but inexpensive hotel in Coimbatore, preferable near the Railway Station / Krishnaswamy road. Budget between 1000 - 1500 as I am staying only for the day. Reaching in the morning and leaving the same night. Thanks in advance.

Try Hotel Aswini or ESS Grand/Paradise (don't remember exactly) which is opposite Aswini. This is on Nehru Street opposite the Gandhipuram bus stand. Not more than 2-3 Km from Railway station. There is a Aswini Deluxe also nearby but is more expensive.

There are several hotels very close to the Railway station in walking distance as well but I'm not aware of which ones are good.

Opposite to the railway station there is the Geetha Hall Road - there are quite a few hotels available here. Park Plaza is the best - but may be quite above your budget. Vaidurya, Ramu Residency etc are good. You can just walk down the Geetha Hall road to find good hotels
