"Fairmont Mumbai is a beautiful luxury property with great potential, but a few areas need improvement to consistently meet five-star expectations.
1. Cleanliness & Ambience: The property was generally well-maintained, but some areas lacked a fresh, pleasant fragrance. Investing in better fragrance management would enhance the luxury experience.
2. Amenities: Basic essentials like a shoehorn and tissues were missing. We repeatedly had to request tissues in both our room and restaurants. Such details should be taken care of proactively.
3. Soundproofing: We could hear conversations around our room, and loud noise from the fourth-floor banquet hall disturbed our baby. However, the team handled our complaint professionally by upgrading us to a quieter Gold Room for two nights, which we appreciated.
4. Traffic: The surrounding area gets heavily congested during peak hours. Guests should plan their travel accordingly.
5. Check-in & Check-out: Both experiences were smooth, efficient and pleasant.
6. Breakfast at The Merchants: Our final morning was disappointing. Despite arriving early, service was poor, possibly due to Diwali staffing shortages. We weren’t even offered drinking water, which is unacceptable for a five-star property.
Overall: We appreciated the team’s responsiveness, particularly regarding the room change. However, luxury hospitality is about consistency, attention to detail and anticipating guests’ needs. I hope management takes this feedback constructively,"
