Ginger Bangalore Inner Ring Road

The stay was close to work. The Gym is not a gym. It is a couple of machines that do not work and some old free weights. Don't be fooled on that one. They still charge for internet so be aware of that. It is $2 US per day but do we really need to do that now? Staff is nice and the renovations keep the place looking nice.

It's all about expectations. Ginger is a chain of budget hotels, and lives up to that without problems. One would be disappointed by the small room if one were expecting a 3+ star hotel experience. But if one looks at it as a budget hotel, Ginger meets, and in my case, exceeds expectations. The room was adequate and comfortable, had the basic amenities one usually needs (cleanliness, TV, Wi-Fi, ceiling fan, A/C, clean bathroom, storage cupboard, mini-fridge). The desk could have been better placed, but I didn't find it a big deal. Newspapers are placed near the lift on each floor, but is that really an issue? A few things that could be better: more power outlets in this connected era, brighter lighting in the bathroom, and faster hot water response (one has to let the shower run for a full minute before feeling the hot water - an unnecessary waste of water). Coffee - definitely, this being BLR and the hotel being a Tata enterprise and all. The attached cafe coffee day opens only at 10, so one has to make do with the powder coffee, which is a tragedy. Of course, the Madurai idli shop down the road more than makes up for it, but saying it nevertheless. Food: Decent, breakfast is expensive but ok when in a rush. I would recommend the idli shop down the road. Used room service for dinner, was timely and good. Staff: overall, quite friendly, no issues. Frankly better than the uppity ones we see in an upmarket chain.

Pleasant experience, room was decent,only glitch was wifi was not working, staff eere very courteous and helpful.

Unforgettable experience
