Prakash Inn Shower Pressure?

I've heard this complaint from a few people who've stayed there. The issue is mostly on the upper floors where the water has to fight gravity more. If you're set on going back, ask for room 107 or 108 on the ground floor near the back, the pressure is noticeably better there because it's closer to the main tank. Otherwise, check out Hotel Grace on the next block, it's about the same price but the bathrooms were redone last year and the showers actually work.

The shower issue at Prakash Inn is unfortunately a known thing, I've had friends complain about the same. If you're heading back, try booking a room on the south side of the building, those rooms get the afternoon sun and the pipes warm up a bit, which helps the flow. Otherwise, you could try Hotel Samrat on Lamington Road, it's a 10 minute walk from Prakash Inn and the water pressure there is solid, plus they have a pretty good rooftop cafe.

yeah that's pretty standard for prakash inn tbh. the building's old plumbing just can't handle the pressure from the municipal line. if u go back ask for a room on the 2nd floor facing the back alley, those have smaller tanks that build up a bit more force. or just switch to hotel orange down the street on s.v. road, similar price but the showers are actually decent

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.
