for a conference in Dadar

I am looking for a good hotel for a week while I attend a conference in Dadar. I don%26#39;t see too many in that area. What would be the travel time and ease of travel between Bandra (where there seems to be more choice) and Dadar? Thankyou in advance, Kate

Dadar has two sides, East and West. Where is your conference?

In the east side of Dadar Hotel Midtown Pritam is a good choice.

Also in the east side of Dadar, if your budget permits, there is a five-star hotel very close by; the ITC Grand Central (a Sheraton hotel).

If your conference is in Dadar West the closest hotels are still those listed above, but the Four Seasons is also a good choice, about 15 mins.

Without knowing your budget it is hard to answer.

The travel time from Dadar to Bandra would be around 30-45 minutes.

Bandra would be a better place to stay in as there%26#39;s lots to do there in the evening.

If you are ok to commute 30-45 minutes, maybe you should stay in South Mumbai where all the sightseeing is. Actually in a taxi cab, VT to Dadar is 30 minutes on the central road. The whole stretch has so many flyovers that you avoid traffic jams quite well.

Some business visitors of ours from the US stayed at the Ramee Guestline at Dadar which they said was fine, they wanted the Pritam [as Deepa suggested] but it was full.

What would be your budget range?

Traffic is horrendous in Mumbai, so it does makes sense to stay as close as possible to your work venue.

In my opinion, Bandra is a much better location for eating out, shopping or night life than south Mumbai.

Bandra is not far from Dadar, distance wise, but in Mumbai everything is dependant on the traffic!

In peak hour, getting out of Bandra is a nightmare with work in progress on SV Rd and the Turner Rd junction always clogged up. Rush hour through the reclamation is also awful.

Thank you so very much for your reply. The conference is Dadar East. Some other people have also responded suggesting travel times of about half an hour between Dadar and Bandra, but then Bandra does sound lovely in the evenings, and Dadar perhaps less so?

Oh Dear. I%26#39;m not used to posting and I thought I was only replying to one person. Thank you ALL for your replies and immensely helpful insight into the traffic works and so on. I remain uncertain ... and that%26#39;s not so bad! Very best to you all.Kate

Between Bandra and South Mumbai, I%26#39;d say take South Mumbai. You%26#39;ll get a lot more out of Mumbai that way.

Bandra has watering holes and restaurants, yes, but so does South Mumbai. In addition, South Mumbai has the Heritage District, Marine Drive, Mani Bhavan, the Museum, and the Art District and so on and so forth.

Also South Mumbai has more hotels that cater to tourists. Bandra has fewer choices.

Since you haven%26#39;t posted your budget, I%26#39;m still at a loss to make sensible suggestions :)
