Bangalore, India + Add a trip

We stay in Trinity Fortune as it is next to our Whitefield offices. Best tip is to stay as close as possible to the location you need as traveling in Bangalore is extremely time consuming

there's a small guesthouse called airavatam in domlur, where our staff stays. hard to find, but very pleasant and well thought out.

The Hotel Royal Orchid. Echoing Marilyn, stay as close as you can to where you plan to spend most of your day. Commuting is not a trivial or speedy experience.

I was working near Whitefield 30 min drive. In Whitefield I stayed at the Savannah Sarovar Premiere hotel, expensive, our company rate was 5500 rupees, but 5 star.

Last time I was there, I stayed at the Bel Air. Very nice and modern, but the hotel was largely open air and, as a result of that, awfully hot. The staff was terrific, but the services at a whole were lacking by comparison to the Hotel Royal Orchid.

To date, I haven't been completely happy with either place I stayed, but nor have I been entirely displeased. Next time I'll try somewhere new and see if that place comes closer to perfection.

My first trip to Bangalore had me at the Vivanta by Taj. Fantastic hotel with excellent amenities *IF* you are working in or near ITPB/ITPL. Even Whitefield wouldn't be too bad, but I found that many of the "inner city" cab drivers had never heard of the Vivanta. The hotel did provide drop-off and pick-up service at reasonable rates, but I have to agree with the other posters...stay as close to your office as you can. Traffic in Bangalore can be a nightmare, especially after dark.

Airavatam in Domlur is a really nice option. It's cheap and a Deluxe Studio is really the best option there. Haven't tried their food yet though. I stayed there during my first trip to Bangalore and I've also booked it for my second one.
