Emerald Suites by Omatra

I slept well, the beds were comfortable enough. The rooms were tidy, the bathrooms had been nicely cleaned before we arrived, and the Wi-Fi speed was good. For a discount, try contacting them directly instead of booking through an app or Airbnb.

I’d stayed here quite a few times when I was living in Bangalore, since Kor was my regular market place. It’s a peaceful location near the main area. I’m happy to see the reviews are still good, even better now. I wonder where my review from more than five years ago went, perhaps it was because of the name or organization change, or just age!

There was a lot of disruption during my stay in January 2023 because of a nearby construction site, with groundwork going on for almost the whole day. Apart from that, it’s a decent hotel in a great spot, just a few minutes’ walk from Forum Mall Koramangala. My room was spacious and well lit, and the staff were very polite and helpful.

The location is really good, but the room quality doesn’t justify the cost. At around Rs 1000-1050, the price would match the room; otherwise it’s too expensive. They said breakfast was complimentary, but it was really bad, made from ready-made food brought from a nearby thela. Even with the lights switched off during the day, the room was still bright enough to disturb my sleep. A very bad experience.
