Mumbai Hotel near Airport Anyone?

Hello IMers

Can anybody recommend a mid-range hotel to stay at near Mumbai International airport for my friend who is coming in December (first timer) arriving at midnight and travelling alone so needs to be easy to get to and comfortable?

Thanks in advance

definitely interested in the answer to this question. We've got a layover in Mumbai. 15:00 arrival, departure 7:00 next day, so we want to stay very close to the airports. according to rough guide or lonely planet this place is close, but it's not cheap. can't find any good true budget options to book in advance, but, if there are, seems like the people on this forum would know... good luck!

Hotel Bawa International (70 euros per night) not cheap!
Nehru Road Ext. Near Domestic Airport
Mumbai (Bombay) 400 099

I usually stay at the Hotel Silver Inn or the Ashwin, across the street from each other in Andheri, a few minutes' drive from the airport. 1,200 rupees (as of 2003) for a single with aircon and attached bath, TV, restaurant. Perfectly serviceable lower middle Indian hotels. You can book them through the Hotel Bookings Desk at the airport.

Most hotels close to the airport will be in the range of USD 50$ and above, u can try hotel Athiti, Bawa International, Hotel Transit

Thanks for this people, I've passed all the info on to my friend so she can sort something before she leaves Thailand.

She'll be my first UK visitor and she's my best friend from Uni so can't wait to see her, we'll be yak yak yakking!

We have been looking for a similar thing and I have booked (through eglobe-hotels.com) the Hotel Four Seasons Juhu which was about US$70. However I have just read some reviews of it from the Virtual Tourist Website which were terrible and said the hotel was awful and had rats! So I'm now wondering whether or not to cancell and find somewhere else. Does anyone know this hotel?

FOUR SEASONS if i am not mistaken was earlier Raddisson,i dont think it shuld have that problem, it is suppose to be good, the location is nice ,thou i have never stayed there, so cant be sure abt the rat issue and all.

I stayed in the Shangri La hotel by the airport in 2003. It cost 700 rupees with a.c. and t.v. Theres also a the international hotel(i think thats the name) around the corner from the Shangri La. It cost 1000 rupees, but was full when I was there. Both of these places are in the Lonely Planet.

I stayed last week at " The Emerald" at Juhu, 50Euro a night via Laterooms.com.
Perfectly clean and decent, very friendly, good breakfast and only 150 rupees taxi from domestic airport.
