“Fantastic hotel”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

Only stayed here one night on a quick business trip. Stayed an a beautiful old heritage room, very spacious and with great character. Lovely comfortable bed and a peaceful ambience. The hotel is set in a large tropical garden that is great for wandering around. Good unobtrusive service to boot. A very nice hotel.

“Best Hotel I've Ever Stayed In”

Reviewed April 19, 2013

This is my idea of colonial India. Exquisite taste and decor. Impeccable service. I'm very well traveled (27 countries and counting). Taj West End is by far the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. Property is a majestic 20 acre nature preserve. Pick a villa.

“Over Rated”

Taj West End has been a premium property in Bangalore for the last 2 or 3 decades, thats the whole problem. Its not updated in any way. The food is horrible and rates are exorbidant. No indoor activities, nothing for kids. The swimmimg pool is tiny and the area around it is shabby.

A well built hotel in lush green surroundings, has good rooms and a good spa. It is well located and has an openness to die for.

I lived a lane away from this very property 22 years back, and returning here, a stones-throw-away from my apartment block then, was just the kind of homecoming one could wish for... the difference being I am now on the other side of the fence this time... and the grass is definitely greener.
