Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – New, spacious, good value, and close to the airport.
Opened as recently as mid-2018, the Radisson offers everything expected of this international chain, such as an outdoor pool and state-of-the-art fitness center. Away from the overcrowded and overpriced city center, everything throughout the hotel is much more spacious, particularly the suites with separate living areas. And with only a few high-rises nearby, views are interesting from all angles. As one of the newest in a congested marketplace, rates are better value than more established and similar standard hotels on the beach or in downtown, and include breakfast. An ideal transit hotel, only a few kilometers from the domestic and international airport terminals, it’s still quiet and not under a flight path. Also, close to the expanding metro network.
Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – The Location
- Address: X-22, MIDC, Central Road, Andheri East. In the northern suburbs and close to both airport terminals.

Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – Rooms

Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – Local Transport
- Walking: Streets around this bustling business district are noisy, as expected, but there are some sidewalks and a few things to see.
- Public Transport: The metro is currently of little use to tourists, but the hotel is only 1km from the Chakala metro station. 13-minute walk.
- Taxis & Auto-rickshaws: Some black-and-yellow taxis along the roads. They have meters and drivers will use them without too many arguments. The numerous auto-rickshaws also use meters, but are only good for local trips – as well as Juhu Beach and the airport – because they’re not allowed much further south. Rides can also be booked using Uber and Ola apps.
Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – What’s Nearby?
Restaurants & Bars
Not a great range, but thankfully, 3 tempting options at The International by Tunga hotel next door (50m, 1-minute walk):
- Vihara Veg Restaurant – Unfussy, great-value, and long menu of Indian food.
- Something’s Fishy! – Stylish and low-lit setting upstairs. Views of the street, and fish tanks filled with those lucky not to be on the menu.
- Tunga Bar & Restaurant – Delightful shady courtyard. Some Western meals and beer available, all pleasingly priced.
Otherwise, some stalls sell street food along Mahakali Caves Road, about 300m away. Head left from the gates of the Radisson and right at the traffic lights. 4-minute walk.
Shops
- Nothing worthwhile within walking distance.
Radisson Mumbai Andheri MIDC – The Hotel
The Radisson is located in a business district only a few kilometers from the international and domestic airport terminals.
This modern hotel was recently opened in mid-2018.
The décor and design throughout the hotel is contemporary.
The outdoor pool is smallish and could get crowded.
Around the pool are some covered areas with inviting sunbeds.
The R3 Spa is nicely set up, but offers little more than massages.
As a new hotel, the equipment in the fitness center is state-of-the-art.
The Gallery Café at the Radisson is a casual dining area with an open-plan kitchen.
Gallery Café offers buffets at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The other restaurant at the Radisson, Qebab Quisine, provides delicious and authentic Indian food, including non-vegetarian dishes.
No alcohol is served on the premises. Instead, the Squeeze ‘bar’ sells healthy juices and ‘mocktails’.
Beans & Crème is a bakery and coffee shop on the lobby level.
All types of rooms and suites are spacious and feature a contemporary décor.
All rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows.
Views from all windows are more interesting than from many hotels in the city center.
Suites feature the same contemporary décor as the rooms, but are even more spacious.
The Executive Suites come with separate and large living areas.
The marble bathrooms in the suites are attractive.
At The International by Tunga hotel next to the Radisson are three terrific places to eat, including the Vihara Veg restaurant.
Featuring a shady garden courtyard, the Tunga Bar & Restaurant is excellent value – and serves beer.
Another dining option at the Tunga hotel alongside the Radisson is Something’s Fishy.
The fishes swimming in the tanks at the Something’s Fishy are lucky that they’re more beautiful than delicious.
Along Mahakali Caves Road, about 300m from the Radisson, are some food stalls.
The streets around the hotel are interesting to wander about, but the abundant facilities cater for workers in the bustling business district.
