Accommodation in Bangalore - Update

Adios hotel with no hot water.

Adios hotel with sky-rocket prices.

I have just returned from my Serviced Apartment mission. It was right under my nose!

Just 200 metres away from our offices lies Shilton Suites. Modern, with every facility you would possibly need, and at a fraction of your typical Bangalore business hotel. Saving at least US$500 a week over the hotel with no hot water, that was one hour well spent.

There is another reason for the saving. Hotels in Banaglore have two room rack rates. For Indian nationals it is in rupees, for non-Indian nationals it is in US$'s. The US$ rate is significantly higher. By contrast, Serviced Apartments charge a single rupee rate, irrespective of nationality. I say no more.

Moral of the Story: If you are planning to visit and stay in Bangalore, check out the Serviced Apartments first. You will not regret it.
