The Staying Co

The hotel is in a quiet residential street 5 min on foot from the Orion Mall and nearest Metro station. The building and rooms are relatively modern. Breakfast is served in the room.

The room was a bit tired in places. It didn't get cleaned as I took the key out with me and staff didn't have another one. Reception wasn't manned at all times. In particular, on my arrival at 3 am, I could not check in because there was noone at reception.

The location, prompt service, friendliness and value for money. Breakfast was sumptuous and brought to the room.

Mattresses were too soft for me. A bigger water jug, and more frequent refills of the tea and coffee sachets would have been helpful.

As I often go to Bangalore on work, with my office located in the Brigade Gateway complex, next to Orion Mall, the Staying Co guest house is ideal for me. It has a great location - while being in a nice residential area (intersection of Rajaji Nagar and Malleswaram), the proximity to Rameshwaram Cafe, which has throngs of families till late in the night, means that the place feels lively and safe, even when I reach after taking a late flight. There is lovely park down the road for early morning walks, and the Malleswaram area has lots of eating joints to choose from. The Soap Factory Metro station is about an 8-10 minute walk, which make large parts of Bangalore easily accessible via the Metro. The facility itself is modern and well maintained, with comfortable rooms. Occasionally I have been bumped up to a 1-Bedroom Suite when they are running full. Added bonus is the free breakfast on the rooftop - a nice way to start the day.
