Vivanta Bengaluru, Whitefield

Excellent choice for business travel

Ups: Suitable for travellers for work/leisure in and around Electronics City, Whitefield, Hoskote Bengaluru. Curteous staff. Great food. Downs: Property is more than 15 years old. Some portion is under renovation. Wash rooms are small, lacks privacy, unsuitable for traditional/orthodox family. Old fittings and fixtures. Not value for money. One has to allocate one and half hours to reach Central Railway Station (KSR) due to heavy traffic.

I regularly stay at this hotel when I visit Whitefield, Bangalore. The property is very clean, the rooms are quite spacious and comfortable, the food in the two restaurants is average, and the staff is very friendly. The cons are that the Wi-Fi speed is not very reliable; it can drop off without explanation sometimes. The food in the breakfast buffet in the Mynt restaurant is very good, but the dinner buffet was just average. The other issue is that the staff don't always understand all the features on the account. I was supposed to get 2 hours of conference time as part of my deal, but they kept making excuses about why they couldn't honor it. Something about the conf room being under renovation etc.

Very good rooms and helpful staff!
