The GCC is perhaps as well known for its health club as its accommodation, and guests felt that it was very well equipped indeed. As well as a gym and a pool, it had many other sports available, so active guests really felt well catered for.
It was very difficult to find a bad word written about the staff. They were almost universally described as welcoming and friendly, with a very professional demeanour that gave guests a lot of confidence that they would do what they said they would do.
Whatever other problems guests had with their rooms, their size certainly wasn't one of them. On the contrary, many guest felt that the rooms were actually quite a bit bigger than they really needed to be.
This was without a doubt the most common, and most serious, complaint. Guests mention that the hotel is an immensely popular event location, with multiple events like weddings, conferences and product launches happening simultaneously. This resulted in a kind of frantic atmosphere that they really didn't appreciate.
While there were some positive reviews of the food they were very hard to find. Most guests had several complaints about the food, saying it was overpriced, bland and lacking in variety. One exception seemed to be the Namaste Vegetarian Restaurant, which was said to be quite good.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to claim that this hotel is in Mumbai. It is in fact beyond the city's northern limits and very far indeed from the downtown area. Guests said that it really wasn't a suitable hotel if you wanted to explore the heart of the city.
