We had a wonderful stay at this modern hotel very near by 10 min cab ride to Bangalore Cantonment railway station to catch Vande Bharat. Mohit and staff from front desk, security and house keeping provided excellent service. We were upgraded to a deluxe room as our standard room was not ready and we really appreciated the gesture. The hotel staff were very responsive to requests and helped us to order a cab as well as advised us about nearby restaurants. The coffee machine at reception was a luxurious perk. We really enjoyed our overnight stay and will definitely stay here again. We had a spacious deluxe room which was very modern, clean and comfortable with great facilities. Good pressure hot shower, tea and coffee making facilities

Superb - What previous guests thought, 187 reviews
I have had the pleasure to stay in this facility for 3 days. I booked it because it was close to my place of interest, because it had good reviews and because the pictures looked pretty. Little did I know how much I underestimated this resort! The combination of tranquility, breathtaking views from your "room", the omnipresent luxury, selection of superb activities, the cuisine, the actual living forest all around you and overall hospitality and service simply cannot be described by words. One must experience it first-hand to fully appreciate this gem of a property. This property is situated literally inside a functioning coffee plantation, where you can explore the coffee making process from blossom to brewing (and roast / grind coffee beans yourself!). That is only one of the few exceptional activities offered, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The plantation is huge, and so is the resort itself. So of course they drive you with a buggy, whenever you are not in a mood for a little walk. Your "room" is actually a cottage, suspended above tree foliage, with a sense of complete privacy, even though a next cottage is nearby. The view has depth which can only be experienced by the seashore, or at high altitude. The connection to nature is taken very seriously here, and can also be felt intensely everywhere - whether you are relaxing on the terrace of your cottage, or walking to the pool and spa, or just having dinner. Talking about dining. The selection and variety of meals is astonishing, and so is the flavor. The whole dining experience is wonderful - the taste, the drinks & cocktails, the fact that you are actually dining above the waterfall, prompt and kind service offered by every staff member (waiters and managers alike). I would especially like to spotlight Mr.Bishu, who was serving us for the duration of our stay. He was always professional, very kind, attentive to all our needs, and so polite. I would also like to spotlight chef Mr.

This is our 6th or 7th stay in BLR and each time we had a different experience. Weather was a little against us especially since we failed to visit Bannerghatta Zoo for the second time in a row. Excellent food options and kids enjoyed Empire hotel's coin parotta and butter chicken, a must try combination.

Very good but...... 1) The palace visit is too hyped. I have seen smaller yet better palaces 2) Vrindavan Gardens is BADLY in need of maintenance 3) The Holy Father didn't ask me to take off my shoes in the Cistine chapel or anywhere in the Vatican SO why should a bunch of his priests do that at one of his cathedrals (St Philomina's) ? Did'nt go in, Was much more impressed with the beautifully curated Payana Car Museum in Srirangapatna and the Bonsai garden and the Sukhvana parrot Aviary in Mysuru

Gokarna is a real surprise.

Gokarna is a real surprise. People are very friendly, the town is fascinating with all its temples, cows, dogs and pilgrims. I enjoyed it so much more than Hampi which I thought was crowded, dirty and full of hassle. Gokarna people are polite and welcoming. Apart from the town it has some nice beaches, even Main beach is good once you walk away from the town. We arrived at the weekend on the day before a very big ceremony. It was very busy, but such a spectacle, and wonderful to see. Genuine people and a very spiritual place.

Our group enjoyed the stay of three nights at Memories of Malnad. The climate was just right and we could visit most of the scenic places and waterfalls. The famous Sringeri and Annapoorneshwari temples though are little away. The mullyangiri peak view from our room and the sunrise was really awesome. On the food front, the complimentary breakfast was relishing. I feel the dinner menu though can be expanded a little.
