The Elanza Hotel, Bangalore

The rooms and bathroom are clean. Basic infrastructure but staff has no hospitality training. Its more of a guest house than a hotel. The staff talks back and have no respect or regard for the guets. Food is very basic. The only saving grace is the location of the hotel and hot water in teh bathroom. This is more of a business hotel stay kind of thing where you come back to the hotel and can just sleep, but not cosy or comfortable. I managed to go for my walks to cubbon park everyday which made this hotel perfect for my stay.

Excellent location, rooms, breakfast and staff

The room was dated and was showing it's age - it was poorly lit, there were switches that didn't work, and the couches were very dusty. The shower didn't work on the first day, they had to send maintenance to fix the issue. They did fix it, but walked around the room and bathroom with wet boots on, so I had to request additional cleaning myself. To top it all off, management charged me 1000 rupees for a guest to enter my room for 15 minutes. I wouldn't stay here again.

It’s a charming little hotel with a few gotchas that may or may not be tolerable depending on your priorities. The good: staff is extremely helpful (even when they don’t speak English), they even help with your deliveries. I used the premium suite and that gave me a little living room, a large bedroom and a bathroom. The rooms have mirrors on the ceiling, which is a unique touch. The bad: during my entire stay I had little to no WiFi and had to use my data plan. The room I stayed was rather gloomy with little sunlight and the decor is kitsch. I wouldn’t call it a 4 star hotel. Overall, I liked my stay in spite of the drawbacks.

Excellent stay…
