Bangalore's BEST Kept Secret? Hotel Savi Inn Awaits!
Bangalore's BEST Kept Secret? Oh, Savi Inn, You Had Me at 'Free Wi-Fi' (But There's So Much More!) 🤯
Okay, so I just got back from Savi Inn, and frankly, I'm still unpacking the experience. Not just my suitcase, but also my brain. This place…it's like a slightly chaotic, wonderfully imperfect slice of Bangalore heaven. Forget the usual sterile hotel chains; this is where the real magic happens. And honestly? For a place calling itself "the best kept secret," the secret’s about to get exploded.
First Impressions (and My First, Slightly Embarrassing, Blunder)
Right off the bat, getting there was a breeze. The airport transfer (one of their convenient, but it's extra) was smooth, and after a sweaty hop and a minor panic that my luggage weighed the same as a small elephant, I was finally there. Now, the Accessibility front. It's…mixed. There's an elevator (thank god, because my legs were toast!), but I didn't personally check for specific wheelchair accessible rooms. I'd definitely recommend calling ahead and asking those very specific questions if that's a priority.
The entrance? Okay, so… I tripped. Not a graceful fall, either. More of a "face-plant followed by me frantically trying to act like it didn't happen." But the staff? IMMEDIATELY helpful, practically hovering in a genuinely caring way. Okay, maybe I'm a sucker for people, but that immediately set a positive tone. And honestly, I was so flustered, I might have blurted out, "Is the air conditioning good?" (Spoiler: it is).
Rooms: My Sanctuary (and the Bed? Oh, the Bed!)
Let's get the essentials out of the way, shall we? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, yes! And it was actually good. My connection didn't drop mid-important-video-call, which is a minor miracle in some parts of Bangalore. Internet access? Check. Actual, working Internet [LAN]? (In case you're a dinosaur like me who actually remembers what a LAN cable is. I totally forgot mine). Also, they have Free bottled water. Gotta love it!
The room itself? Clean, well-lit, and a welcome escape from the Bangalore bustle. The Air conditioning worked fantastically. The Blackout curtains were an absolute godsend for a light sleeper like me. The Soundproofing…well, let's just say I didn't hear the street vendors hawking their wares at 6 AM, which is a huge win in my book.
And the bed. Oh, the bed! It was like sinking into a cloud crafted by angels. Seriously. The Extra long bed meant I didn’t need to curl up! It was just…perfect. I'm considering writing a sonnet about it (don't expect it to be good). The Bathroom was clean, modern, and I appreciated the Additional toilet (sometimes, a girl just needs her privacy!). I had a bathtub and a shower (Separate shower/bathtub). Bathrobes, Slippers, and Towels? All there. I'm not sure what the name of the toiletries were though.
Dining: From a Quick Bite to a Feast
The Dining scene at Savi Inn? It's got options. They have Restaurants and a Coffee shop; a Breakfast [buffet] (Western and Asian options, thankfully!).
I spent a good portion of my stay hanging out in the Coffee Shop. Coffee was pretty good (got a kick out of the Coffee/tea in restaurant and Coffee/tea maker in the room) and the service was good.
I had to dive in and grab a lunch. I got a Salad in restaurant and a Soup in restaurant which was well seasoned and made with care.
Things to Do: A Mix of Relaxation and Adventure
Okay, let's get to the good stuff: the ways to unwind.
- Pool with view: They have a cool outdoor swimming pool. And yeah, it's as good as it sounds on a hot day.
- Fitness center: I intended to use the Fitness center. Keyword: intended. I did not. I found myself too relaxed to even think about walking, let alone hitting the gym.
- Spa: I did make it to the Spa, though. They have Massage and, I think, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath… It was pure bliss. I nearly fell asleep during the massage (not a criticism!).
Cleanliness and Safety in the Time of…Everything
Look, safety is paramount these days. And Savi Inn seems to take it seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. There's Hand sanitizer everywhere. I appreciated the Staff trained in safety protocol, Rooms sanitized between stays and the Safe dining setup. They even have Doctor/nurse on call! I didn't use it, but it's reassuring. They don't skip any of the steps to avoid an outbreak, and they always have a First aid kit.
For the Kids and Other Useful Bits
Family/child friendly: They have Babysitting service and Kids facilities!
Services and Conveniences
- Concierge: Super useful.
- Laundry service: Awesome (especially after the aforementioned face-plant)
- Car park [free of charge]
- Also, Cash withdrawal so you can easily obtain more money if needed.
The Quirks and Oddities (The Real Charm)
Okay, this is where Savi Inn really shines. It's not a perfectly polished hotel; it's got character. It's got soul.
- Proposal spot: (Apparently yes! I didn’t see it, though).
- Shrine
The Verdict: Book It! (But Don't Tell Too Many People)
Savi Inn isn't perfect. But it's real. It's comfortable, it's friendly, it's got that intangible "something" that makes you feel…good. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Just, you know, maybe don't tell everyone. Let's keep it our little secret, okay?

Jakarta's Most Luxurious 2BR Apartment: Unbelievable Views & Amenities!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to wade into the glorious, chaotic, and utterly unpredictable swamp of my trip to the Hotel Savi Inn in Bangalore, India. This isn't going to be your perfectly polished, TripAdvisor-approved itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered, jet-lagged version.
Day 1: Bangalore - Arrival & Existential Dread (Mostly Joking, Kinda)
7:00 AM (Bangalore Time, which I still can't quite wrap my head around): Landed. The airport? Hectic. Smells like some combination of jasmine and something vaguely industrial. Immigration? Smoother than I expected. Thank God. Now, the real challenge: battling the baggage carousel. Managed to snag my case only to be struck down by the absolute weight of it. Seriously, did I pack my entire wardrobe?
7:30 AM - 8:30 AM: Pre-booked a damn taxi (thank you, future-me!) to get me to the hotel. The drive? A sensory overload. Tuk-tuks zipping around like caffeinated fireflies, cows casually sauntering across the road (because, India!), and a constant, glorious cacophony of honking. I think I aged a year in that one-hour drive.
9:00 AM: Arrived at Hotel Savi Inn. Okay, first impressions? The lobby is… well, it's not exactly the Taj Mahal, but it's clean enough. The staff seems friendly, or perhaps I'm just deliriously exhausted. The air conditioning is a lifesaver though. Seriously, I felt my internal battery slowly recharging.
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM: Room. Check. After a long flight, unpacking is a struggle because I can barely think or remember where things go. I did manage to find the coffee machine, a simple pleasure. I also saw my view from the room to a wall, and I don't even know what building. This room will be my refuge for the next few days.
11:00 AM - ???: A nap. A glorious, guilt-free, can't-feel-my-limbs nap. This is probably what heaven feels like.
Late Afternoon: Attempted to "explore." Walked half a block before the heat decided to punch me in the face. I retreated. Bangalore, you win.
Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant that was recommended by the reception. It was really dark, but I ordered a curry, and it was delicious. My stomach is now doing happy dances. The people were nice, but I didn't understand a word they said, so there were a lot of smiles and nods.
Night: Collapsed back in my room, feeling a strange mix of exhilaration and sheer, utter exhaustion. Jet lag is a beast. Tomorrow… tomorrow, I will conquer! Maybe.
Day 2: Chaos and Coffee (and a Near-Disaster)
Morning: Woke up, surprisingly refreshed. A quick shower and breakfast. The coffee was, let's just say, a work in progress.
Morning Continued: Decided to brave a visit to the Bangalore Palace. The palace itself was beautiful, opulent, and a little bit like a Disney castle on steroids. The architecture was interesting, and I took almost 50 photos of it. I did manage to get slightly lost. Found a gift shop full of kitschy souvenirs, which I immediately gravitated towards.
Mid-day: Okay, here's where things got interesting. I decided to be adventurous and flag down an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk). Negotiated the price, hopped in, and we were off! Then? The driver took a turn, and the damn vehicle nearly flipped over. I screamed. He screamed. We righted ourselves, and he just… shrugged. Classic Bangalore. I laughed (nervously) and we continued our drive, and I took a deep breath. Also, I may or may not have forgotten my wallet at the palace.
Afternoon: Spent a hilarious (in retrospect) hour frantically trying to contact the palace, figure out a way of getting back. I found my wallet! The relief was immense! I am so happy and relieved.
Evening: Ate dinner at a place with live music and a lot of people. I really like the vibe, and I feel less alone.
Day 3: The Bangalore Botanical Garden and a Moment of Serenity (Kind Of)
Morning: Breakfast again. I'm getting used to the coffee, which is an achievement in itself. The staff is starting to recognize me, and I think I'm beginning to know the people too.
Mid-morning: The Bangalore Botanical Garden. It was beautiful, green, and a welcome respite from the city's madness. I'm not much of a nature person, but I liked the quiet, and I did get a good photo of a flower.
Afternoon: Back in my room to recover from my adventures.
Evening: Decided to have some "me time". I found a small local shop and bought a shawl. I feel like I'm starting to understand the city a bit better.
Day 4: Departure (and a Little Bit of Regret)
Morning: Packing. Always a nightmare. Why do I always bring so much stuff?
Mid-morning: Said goodbye to the hotel staff (they were actually sad to see me go!). The drive to the airport? Less terrifying this time.
Afternoon: Goodbye, Bangalore!
Final Thoughts:
Hotel Savi Inn was a decent stay, clean enough, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Bangalore? A whirlwind of a city that will leave you breathless, both from the heat and the sheer energy of it all.
And that, my friends, is my imperfect, rambling, and utterly honest account of my Bangalore adventure. Take it for what it is – a journey, not a destination (and definitely not a polished travelogue). Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need another nap.
Venice's Hidden Gem: Hotel Gardena's Unforgettable Charm
So, what *is* this whole 'FAQ' thing about, anyway?
Alright, alright, let's get the basics out of the way. Think of this as the 'Frequently Asked Questions' corner of the internet. Only, instead of being sleek and professionally worded, it's me, spilling all the things I've been asked (or *wish* I'd been asked) about... life, the universe, and everything. Mostly life, though. The universe is a bit much for a Tuesday.
Okay, but *why* this format? Why all the schema mumbo jumbo?
Ugh, schema. Fine, I get it. It's the internet's way of organizing information. And while I'd rather tell you all this ramblingly in person, it's the best way to get my insights out there to the digital masses. Plus, SEO. We all want to be found, right? Especially when we have opinions this strong.
How do you even *know* what the frequently asked questions are? Are you a mind reader?
Ha! If I were a mind reader, I'd probably be making far more money than I am currently. No, darling, it's more about patterns. People are creatures of habit, and thankfully, they ask the same things over and over again. Plus, I have a knack for anticipating the questions, because I've spent a lifetime asking them myself. It's a gift, really. And a curse.
What's the deal with the 'messy' bit? I like things neat.
Bless your heart. I'm afraid you're in the wrong place. Life is messy. My thoughts are messy. My apartment is... well, let's leave it at "lived in." This FAQ is an authentic reflection of that gloriously chaotic reality. It's where I try to be authentic to human's way of thinking! Prepare for digressions, tangents, and the occasional typo. This is not a perfectly polished diamond, honey. This is a slightly chipped, but honest, piece of sea glass.
Okay, okay, I get it. Fine. What *specifically* are we even talking about?
Well, that's the beauty of it, isn't it? I'm not tied down to any one topic. We can wander from the existential dread of laundry day to the sheer joy of a perfect cup of coffee, all the way to the absolute *absurdity* of the latest celebrity scandal. It's a bit of a grab bag, but you'll like it. Probably.
So, you're saying this is all just... *your* opinion?
You bet your sweet bippy it is! This is my space, my soapbox, my digital diary. This is where I unleash the unfiltered, unvarnished truth as I see it. And I'm not ashamed to say that my opinions are usually right. Sometimes. Okay, *often* (I'm just being modest). Consider yourself warned!
Speaking of opinions, what's the *worst* thing you've ever dealt with?
Oh, honey, that's a long story. Where do I even begin? How about that time I tried to bake a cake for my best friend's birthday? Seemed simple enough, right? Followed the recipe to the letter. I even got the *fancy* sprinkles. The cake was supposed to be this gorgeous, multi-layered masterpiece. Instead, it emerged from the oven looking like a volcanic eruption had gone wrong. Burnt on the outside, raw in the middle. The frosting was a grainy, curdled mess. It was a disaster. I almost just gave up on life. I ended up running down to the grocery store and buying a store-bought cupcake instead with the remaining frosting still on my hands. The shame! The *humiliation*! But, you know what? She loved the cupcake anyway. And now it's a fabulous story.
What's the best part about this whole thing?
Honestly? The connection! Knowing that someone, *somewhere*, is reading this and thinking, "Oh thank god, I'm not alone!" The shared human experience, the laughter, the "me too!" moments. That, my friend, is priceless.
What are some of your hobbies?
Oh, I have many! Reading is my lifeblood, it's *essential*. I adore curling up in a blanket with a good book (preferably something with a scandalous plot and a dashing hero). I love to cook (when I’m not setting the kitchen on fire). I enjoy walking in nature, the sun on your face, breathing in the fresh air, and daydreaming (which is often about that dashing hero). And of course, rambling on the internet and getting to know likeminded people (like YOU!).
What do you hate? REALLY hate?
Oh, where do I start? People who chew with their mouths open (shudder!). The sound of nails on a chalkboard (double shudder!). Being interrupted in the middle of a sentence. And, *of course*, the never-ending battle against the laundry monster. Seriously, the socks! Where do all the socks go?!
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Oh, Sweetie… so much advice! First, ALWAYS trust your gut. Second, the right people will love you, *as you are*. Third, learn to say 'no' more often. Fourth, stop worrying so much about what other people think. Fifth, never, EVER trust a fart after you've eaten spicy food. You'll learn that one the hard way. Oh, yes. Definitely the hard way.
