Mansu,
Sorry for this late reply, I got your PM also but I thought if I can post here then it will help others too. Actually I was tied up in the office since morning so could not spend time to reply you.
Well, YES I did booking but to my knowledge you don't have to do it but as usual it is better to book.
Regency Hotel

Actually the rooms are good, clean and the service is also good. food is also good in taste, salt/pepper need to be added by youself it will be provided.
Western style bathroom, with bathtub. Bathroom is big enough than normally compared to motel 6 and it is all marble floor.
Two types of room are available std and delux. STd for singel person cost RS 2100 and two persons it cost RS 2450 and the delux is RS 2650/- and it is little bigger than std room. The rooms are big but not very big, comfortable to move in.
The taxi fare from the hotel to consulate/ breach candy is RS 20 to RS 25 depending on the traffic. To other place like VT station it will RS 65 and Dadar it will cost RS 100 to 110 /-
I checked other hotels near by like Hotel Kemps corner in Kemps corner I will not prefer it even though it cost Rs 1650 for two persons. It is like 4 studios next to each other on same floor, small narrow staircase and old looking lift. The room is so cozy and dark we can't breath in, not bath tub and the floor is also mosiac tiles.
The other hotel I saw was Shalimar, that was excellent, Double room cost @ RS 5000 and suite cost RS 6500 but it is more spacious than Regency and suite has a living room with sofa set, dining table and off course TV and a seperate bedroom with a bathroom attached. Very nice.
Another senior member - Alren stayed in Hotel Pritam at Dadar and the cost was @ RS 2500/- you can ask him the details.
Hope this information helps to make your decision.
Thanks and all the best.
