$250 Marine Drive seaview hotel in Mumbai 🇮🇳
Support the channel and buy my ultimate Desi Delhi food guide here: maxmcfarlin.gu... 🇮🇳 After a very friendly Uber ride, I arrived at my hotel way down in the south side of Mumbai, to the hotel I was staying at. Mumbai is a very expensive city. This specific hotel was one of the cheaper options in the area, and was nearly $250/night. However, because my friend @dailymax24 was set to arrive in the evening, I figured it would be a nice place for us to crash and check into late in the evening. Luckily, Mr. Perfect was ready at the hotel to greet me. Hope you enjoy.

I remember I once booked a room at this Continental Hotel on my birthday. I will never forget how this Omkar guy after seeing my birthdate on my ID, upgraded my room (normal to some grand deluxe suite) and also arranged a cake. God bless him man!

I actually have a couple of things to say 1. Omkar is a gem! He is one of a kind. 2. For any foreigners watching, Omkar speaks like any other Indian who speaks English, nothing extra. I obviously haven't met him but that's how atleast i speak English. 3. That confidence comes with meeting and speaking to a lot of people and that's why you know, man's experienced... 4. The way he carries himself and takes you around shows what he is comfortable with.

2:56 "Would you like to pay in INR or USD" Chris, since you spend so much time outside the US, you should know better by now. If you pick USD, the merchant converts at their rate and charges your card in USD. If you pay in the local currency, your credit card issuer (bank) does the conversion. The bank's rate is ALWAYS better, even if your card has fees for foreign transactions (and it's not hard to get a credit card that has zero foreign transaction fees).

Amaze by the receptionist confidence😮..truly deserve all the appreciation...i wish i had that humour and confidence😂
At $250 you are supposed to get a posh room and a very efficient receptionist like Omkar, here in India. As Indian rupee has high purchasing power parity compared to the US, you get similar experience of being in a $500-600 accommodation at the NYC in just $250. I've been to some five stars in India, they all have a somewhat outspoken but still efficient and charming receptionists like him. 😄
Despite resigning within 2 months Omkar shown all the important sections of the Hotel. That's true professionalism...
Hey Chris, welcome to amchi Mumbai...Intercontinental Hotel is a 4 star hotel as per Mumbai standards, it is one of the oldest and fanciest hotels in Bombay as it is sea facing. Please do visit south Mumbai, it is filled with good eateries and all the insta worthy places. Also hope Omkar doesn't land in trouble for revealing his resignation and his probable new employer on camera . Have fun!
