Booking to a hotel in Andheri, and what the desk asks

Andheri has more hotels used for this than any other part of Mumbai, and what the desk asks for varies from one to the next. Some ask nothing. Some ask the guest to be registered. Knowing which before anybody sets off saves an hour.

The hotels along the Western Express Highway and around the MIDC estate are the most used to it. The smaller places near the station are more likely to ask.

Name the hotel when you call and you are told how that one works. It is a question this desk answers every night.
