    A Great Stay at Happinest, Bandra

    krishna v.solo

    I stayed at Happinest last night and had a really good experience. The place is clean, cozy, and in a great location in Bandra. What stood out most was the warm and friendly atmosphere. A special thanks to Dev, the manager, who was super helpful and kind throughout my stay. He made sure everything was smooth and made me feel right at home. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Mumbai!

    Stay is comfortable, but people sometimes are absent at the reception. Drinking water is available only at one floor, so need to go down repeatedly, rest everything is comfortable. Beds, rooms, light everything is good.
