Aura By Agira Hotels

I stayed overnight at Aura while taking exams at SVCE Bangalore over the weekend. It's directly opposite the college, and the spacious rooms have comfortable beds and a balcony each. The toilets were okay, and the staff were helpful. The front desk responds promptly. There isn't breakfast, lunch, or dinner available at the property right now. Don's diner nearby is a good option, or you can order Swiggy. They maintain a couple of DG, which was a big help, especially at the moderate room price. One suggestion for the owners: add a writing table to the rooms. Students coming for admissions, training, or exams could really use one. Overall, it was a great stay.

Good stay for the price. Online booking and GPay are available, and the staff are good. Restaurants nearby were the one problem. The cafeteria was closed on 8 May 26. Nothing more.

We picked this hotel because it's close to the airport, and even for just one night, the stay was pleasant. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. They brought hot water at night when we asked for it. There's no complimentary breakfast, but there is a pantry and seating on the ground floor, and restaurants nearby for meals. It would be good to have a place where drivers can bathe and wash up.

The staff are courteous and helpful, and the peaceful atmosphere suits the institutional neighborhood. There are usually students around, which I find inspiring and motivating. The TV selection is limited: no paid Hindi channels like Starplus, only regional ones such as Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam. There isn't a Punjabi channel either. Because of Hathway policy, they can't offer those channels in just a few rooms and are forced to choose for all rooms.
