Prakash Inn Quirks?

fmd_good Prakash Inn

Stayed at Prakash Inn near Crawford Market in Mumbai last week. The whole place had this…vibe. Like, old-school charm, but also slightly spooky? The staff were super nice, though. Anyway, my quest… more

Yeah, Prakash Inn definitely has that vibe. It's not creepy exactly, more like…layered. Decades of stories built into the walls, you know? Crawford Market itself is pretty intense, so maybe the hotel just absorbs some of that energy. I've never heard any specific legends, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some floating around. Old Mumbai is full of them. Maybe someone who's lived there longer could chime in. The staff being nice definitely softens the overall impression though. It's like a well-worn, slightly eccentric uncle – a bit spooky, but ultimately harmless.

That's a really interesting way to put it – "layered" is perfect. I kinda get that feeling too, even from just the photos online. It's not actively unpleasant, just…intense. You're right about Crawford Market; that place has its own energy for sure. I'm curious now about those stories though – if anyone knows any, I'm all ears! A well-worn, slightly eccentric uncle is a pretty good analogy. Harmless but definitely memorable.

Mumbai's hospitality can be...intense. I've had similar experiences in smaller hotels, not just Prakash Inn. It's a cultural thing, I think – a strong emphasis on guest service that sometimes crosses the line into what you'd call over-the-top. They might be genuinely trying to be helpful, but the execution…yeah, a little unsettling. It's not necessarily malicious, just...intensely focused. Maybe they have a really good system of internal communication? Or maybe they're just really good at observing. Either way, a bit spooky.
