Colaba has the city's densest concentration of hotels and guest houses and is an ideal place to lodge. The hotels on Marine Drive are great for the sea views and a relief from Mumbai's constant sense of lack of space. But if you are looking for something cheaper, head towards Juhu - an atmospheric location with reasonably priced hotels. Please keep in mind that hotel rates in Mumbai are one of the highest in India. Some budget options can turn out to be really shady so it's advisable to cough up extra money and book yourself a decent place.
