SPOT ON 47848 Friends Residency

It was useful for my visit since it was close enough to the venue I'd planned to go to, and the price was the main plus. The Wi-Fi was reliable, too, so the stay served its purpose and wasn't all bad. The place seemed poorly maintained and had no tables or chairs. Air circulation in the room was limited, and it smelled. The location was bad both for getting there and in terms of hygiene, though I guess that's to be expected with how over-urbanised much of India already is. There was only one staff member; he seemed okay, neither great nor terrible. He looked like Vicky Kaushal.

Monu bhai, the caretaker, was very polite. The place is close to DPGITM and ion digital, and Ola bike to the center cost only 25-30 Rs. The mess is reasonably priced at 60/- per diet, and the food tasted good with no limit on portions. The geyser worked too. It's right beside the highway, and the facilities were very good.

It's surrounded by boys' PGs, and you can see some of them smoking hookah even early in the morning. The rooms aren't very good either. I'd only consider staying here for a night if you have few options; if there's somewhere better, I'd choose that.

After paying through the Oyo website and traveling from Bangalore, I was refused entry when I arrived. Oyo customer care kept me on hold for 25 minutes before disconnecting, and this happened twice. I had to beg at reception just to use the washroom. I wouldn't book here if you want peace of mind or to protect your hard-earned money.
