Halcyon Hotel Residences - Bangalore

I'm writing this review from the standpoint of an American visiting: I came with my family, and we stayed for about a week. Great: 1. Koramangala is just chock full of wonderful dining options that are simply amazing (both Indian and non-Indian), and is overall really centrally located within Bangalore. 2. The staff - The first thing that comes to mind is the wonderful host of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' -- all of the staff was so kind, friendly and overly helpful. The manager went over and beyond to help us out of a pickle we made in a reservation which could have cost us a lot of $. 3. The food. Don't plan to come back skinny. The breakfast is A1 First class. A wide array of south Indian tiffins exist. There's always Dosa to order, Idli, Sambar, Chutney, as well as rotating tiffin like Pongal, Poori etc. Plus filter coffee of course. 4. The cleanliness. The cleaning staff did an unreal job to the point where if I walked around my room/apartment barefoot all the time, I got into the bed feeling clean feet still. 5. Gym is great! Negative: 1. The property is older, and it does show. If you're wanting the Taj, this isn't it. This said, the cleaning staff does their absolute best to make sure that you still feel like it's quite clean all of the time. 2,. There are functions sometimes which can be loud if you're a very light sleeper (granted: we visited during Xmas party season, and it didn't bother me -only my wife.

Great stay. I’ve stayed here many times and the service levels are consistently good!
