MTDC Resort

Maharashtra


This government-run place offers functional, economy rooms, disappointing family rooms and very attractive modern air-conditioned rooms in the Shruti Heritage Villa (₹3546). The downside is it’s located next to the Dasturi car park, so you’re away from the midtown action. There's a restaurant on-site.
