Temple Tree Studios

My room was over the kitchen, so cooking smells came up a lot, and the food was greasy enough to upset my stomach. On the good side, the room was clean and comfortable, daily cleaning was good, and the staff were polite and helpful.

A few kms from koramangala, among the "aalishaan" homes cum hotels, this place has a really good public seating and eating area. The rooms are well kept, with the usual amenities, including cookware and hot mugs and stuff. Staff are really nice and prompt. It costs a little more, but it’s manageable since the other offerings are way better than at other hotels.

Cell reception is the main problem here. Jio and Vodafone have no connectivity at all, while Airtel gets 4G+ once in a while. Temple tree studios’ WiFi has the same issue. Food options are basic, and taste is just “Okay.” The stay itself was pleasant, mostly thanks to the great staff, especially the night duty manager, who was very accommodating and helpful. When my air-conditioning stopped at midnight, the manager came himself and helped us move rooms.

It’s a calm residential area, though I found the room I stayed in a bit worn out. Breakfast was okay, and the veg biriyani was yummy. The staff were friendly. It was quite hard to locate the place, even though the driver was local, and I’d go walking for quite some time too.
