Capital O 5381 The Emirates Hotel

Staff were very courteous, and there are lots of restaurants near Koramangala, so the location is great. The morning buffet was pretty tasty, with four or five food options, and better than at other Oyo rooms. It’s a very decent budget hotel, though we had to change rooms because of a washroom problem.

The restaurant attached to the place is the best part, with really tasty food. It’s on the main road and is a budget hotel, but they serve the best at that rate. The staff are courteous, keep things orderly, and the manager is very efficient. You can stay here with family or friends. Five stars from me.

I paid Rs 2000 a day for compact rooms with no power backup, stinky washrooms, and bed bugs. When I asked to switch rooms because of the smell, they said there were no rooms available. An hour later, drainage overflowed from the closet when I complained again, suddenly they could find another room. Customer satisfaction and value for money seem to be the last thing they care about. Swaraj sarovar was a worst nightmare. This was my first time writing a review, and if negative stars were possible, I’d give them.

For just one night it might be okay, but I’d look elsewhere for a longer stay. The rooms are very small, the elevator smelled, and the bathroom got waterlogged after a shower. The AC sits right over your head, and the fan looks like one in a railway sleeper. The restaurant took 90 minutes to bring up a bottle of water. Never again.
