We took the advice of the reviews from the web site and we were not disappointed. The hotel was an excellent choice for our stay in Bangalore and would recommend to other travellers as well.
The room is quite large and adequately furnished. Shopping is within walking distance and other main attractions are within easy reach.There are two malls within walking distance where the food court serves tasty meals which are quite cheap.
Hiring a vehicle through hotel is more expensive. We chose S.L.R. travels who were punctual and prices are reasonable.
The buffet breakfast at the hotel is adequate but not impressive.
Be prepared to pay additional airport tax (INR.1070) which came as a suprise at the airport.The new airport is operational for the past 3 months.

This was my first stay at this hotel. I am frequent traveler to Bangalore and have stayed in few other hotels. This hotel is by far the most value for money accommodation.
There are two different type of rooms in the hotel, deluxe and suite. The suite is deluxe room + an office space which is as big as some other hotel rooms.
The rooms were clean with adequate furnitures. The wireless internet was easy to configure. The personal office space was very useful. The TV should actually be placed in the bedroom rather than the office.

The hotel is close to a mall which has a food court and lot of shopping options. It is also close to the downtown shopping and office districts. For regular office commute towards the airport and electronic city one can avail the air-conditioned commuter bus in front of the mall.

The hotel restaurant is nothing special. The buffet breakfast is adequate but has very little variety. For a long stay it feels kind of boring.

After a miserable night at the Cambridge "Palace" hotel in Bangalore, I spent a few hours on-line to try and find an affordable alternative and stumbled across this hotel, booked it via travelguru.com, and was gobsmacked by the quality of this place. It was 1400 Rupees more than that the other place, but WHAT a difference! I'd go back any day, it's central, it's quiet, the staff were incredibly helpful, the rooms are large, the food is great (and the room service faster than anything I've ever experienced).

The hotel was recommended to us by the travel desk of a big Bangalore company - and we were so glad that we followed their advice.

The staff was very friendly, the rooms in perfect condition and quietly laid out to the back yard. If you try the Indian VEG food on the menue of the hotel restaurant you will be perfectly happy.

Stayed here in March 2006 after reading a few reviews here. Contacted the hotel directly and after an overnight train trip from Hospet, we were glad to presented with an impressive suite.

Great location - central to good shopping, and good base to explore the city.

Service a little slow, but staff were good-natured and well-intentioned. Breakfast plentiful, waiters friendly but not a huge choice.

Also stayed at the Hilton Mumbai, and the suite here was equivalent or even superior in terms of room size and fixtures and fittings.

Highly recommended.
