Ramanashree California Resort

It wasn't in the middle of Bangalore. So when we stepped outside of our hotel, it was still quiet. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were propery cleaned everyday. The breakfast was good. Enough choice for everyone.

Helpful staff

This hotel is NOT, repeat NOT, anywhere near Bengalooru International Airport. Takes 30 to 40 minutes even in the very light traffic of a late Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. Clean, spacious room, decent service. I wish Indian hotels allowed guests to put the two narrow beds together - I mean, this is 2012, not Victorian times, even if we weren't married ... Restaurant COULD be very nice, the food is good, but the staff are poorly trained, it takes ages to get them to go get some napkins, for instance. The lunch buffet is expensive, and they do not allow people who just want a light lunch to order that instead. Staff are polite, obseqious, but poorly trained. Don't use the in-room phones: local calls are exorbitant. I had to use it because the cellphone would not work either - maybe they are too close to some major electronics facilities, because the signal dropped out every few seconds, even if one went outside. VERY nice property, given that it is in a built-up downtown type area. Wish I had much more time to just wander around there.

I stayed at this place on a business visit. The resort was nowhere close to what the pictures depicted on the site. I would call it a Two Star property at the best. The first night was a nightmare ! 1) I had to get maintenance to fix the split AC to stop sounding like the engine of a Truck ! 2) I had to request the housekeeping to locate the light switches for me. The lights just won't turn off. 3) Both the electrical sockets won't work and I had to charge my phones using the sockets in the Bathroom. 4) The so called Gym was pathetic. No fan, no AC, old television set with bad sound, and a joke of a treadmill.
