I stayed at the Ista on a business trip and was pleased with the hotel overall. Rooms are clean, neat and decorated in a modern, Scandinavian style, with comfy beds and good linens. I was fortunate to be upgraded to a suite upon checkin, and the room was lovely with a separate sitting room, bedroom, hallway with walk-in closet and... more

Very Good Location, on MG road in the heart of the city's CBD. Their terrace restaurant is also good with a pretty lavish Sunday brunch. Rooms are well done and quite contemporary. Overall a good stay. more

This minimalistic state of the art hotel in Bangalore does have the most attentive staff I ever had in a 5star hotel. Food is excellent as well. I will go there defenitely again on my next trip. more

Recently built hotel near MG road. Clean, modern room of regular size for Europe. US hotel rooms are usually larger. Restaurant food was quite good, both breakfast (free buffet) and dinner. Wine is a ripoff, as everywhere in Bangalore. Hotel grounds are unremarkable - Oberoi is much better. There is also a construction right outside of hotel - elevated Metro... more

I stayed in Ista for 4 nights on a business trip to Bangalore with colleagues. I liked it! Ista is not too big hotel. Rooms are not very big but still well functioning. The decor is even scandinavic, naturally with an Indian twist. The scandinavian twist means the rooms have quite a lot wood used in the interior and for... more

We have just returned from a week at the Ritz Carlton. The hotel is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It was so lovely that it was hard to drag ourselves away from the hotel to go to the theme parks at all. In fact we didn't bother with Disney , having been before and just... more

My husband had to come to Bangalore on business, so I decided to travel with him for the first week so we could share a holiday. We chose the Ista as it was our 5th wedding anniversary and it looked lovely (especially the pool). And it totally lived up to and even exceeded my expectations. It was the cleanest hotel... more

Nice looking hotel in a filthy looking area. Rooms are extremely small unless you stay in a suite. Has two restaurants with good food but one of the restaurants opens with resricted hours. Service is highly inconsistent. I stayed there for three days and the service varied from excellent to extremely poor! Appears that the staff has not been consistently... more

A very nice property in the space once occupied by the LIDO theatre off MG Road. Liked the stay and the restaurants. People with a great taste and flair for a good life would really love this place... though Good things come in at a price :-) more
