About About the place

Lion Gate is a prominent entrance to the Naval Dockyard, a significant establishment in Mumbai serving both naval and commercial vessels. Situated in South Mumbai, near the Bombay Natural History Society and along Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, the gate is historically important and architecturally decorative. While not open to the public, it remains a recognizable landmark and a symbol of India's naval strength. Photography is generally prohibited due to security concerns. The area around the gate, particularly near Kalaghoda, offers access to other points of interest.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

This is one of the most iconic and interesting buildings of the city where the architecture of this place speaks volume of its importance. It is a great place to visit and its tour throws some light on the history and working of this place.

We booked a tour package and thought that this would be a good way to see all the major sites of the city but it turned out to be nothing great. The tour bus stopped at all places but had not much time to make us roam around the area. Seemed like they were in a rush all the time and were not good with the local knowledge and culture. It was also expensive, which was not a great thing.
