Prakash Inn Puzzle

That pav bhaji cart is the real draw of that area, I'd pick it over the inn any day. If you're still dealing with the wifi, try sitting in the lobby near the reception desk, that's the only spot where I've ever gotten a stable connection there. The rooms on the third floor are basically a dead zone. For your review, just keep it short and factual about the wifi situation, the management actually responded to my friend's complaint last month and offered a discount on the next stay, so they do read them.

honestly i think the wifi is just bad in that whole stretch of the street, not just the inn. i was at a cafe two doors down last week and it was the same deal, kept dropping every five minutes.

the pav bhaji cart you're talking about is the one near the paan shop right? that guy's been there for like 15 years, his bhaji is way better than the fancy places in colaba. if you're still in the area, try the vada pav from the lady with the yellow cart on s.v. road, shes only there till 1pm tho.

for the review i'd just mention the wifi in one line and move on, the owners prob wont fix it anyway. it's a budget place, you get what you pay for

Yeah, the Wi-Fi at Prakash Inn is notoriously bad. I stayed there a couple months ago and it was a nightmare. Uploading anything was a mission. Pav bhaji near there though? Sounds delicious! Definitely worth the Wi-Fi struggle. Maybe mention the spotty internet in your review, but also rave about the food, that'll balance it out. Good luck!

have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly

one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.

honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
