Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's location is super convenient, making it easy to access all parts of Bangalore quickly. The rooms, however, didn't quite match the photos and required assistance from housekeeping for basic tasks like locking and unlocking the door. The service was helpful and cooperative, although some policies were not clearly communicated initially. Dining could be improved with more diverse options. The central location is a major plus for exploring key attractions in Bangalore.
The hotel has a convenient location close to key attractions and offers friendly service, but the dining experience could be better. The rooms are clean and equipped with basic amenities, though slightly on the smaller side.
The hotel location is fantastic, making it convenient to reach major attractions and shopping areas within minutes. The staff is cooperative and friendly, although there was a minor issue with a so-called 'hotel policy'. The room was spacious but dark due to a small window, yet clean with full-time hot water. The dining could use some improvement with fresher options, and the facilities are decent.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were just okay considering the price, but I faced some inconveniences like not having a key and relying on housekeeping. The cleanliness of the linen and towels left much to be desired, and there were issues with dirty water and even a rat in the room. On the bright side, the service was top-notch with very polite and helpful staff members. The location had its advantages, being accessible to various parts of Bangalore and having nearby dining options, though getting transportation could be challenging due to traffic. The dining experience was below par, lacking freshness and variety. Despite the drawbacks, the price may offer some value for money in certain aspects.
My stay at the hotel was satisfying overall. The rooms were cozy but lacked proper ventilation. The service from the staff was good, but they had some inconsistencies in implementing policies. The location was very central and accessible to key parts of the city. The dining experience was simple yet filling. The facilities provided were decent.
