St. Marks Hotel, Bangalore

This is in prime location of bangalore walkable distance to M.G.Road. Great service and amazing staff. Well maintained. This is little pricey but great for a business traveler.

Excellent value for money particularly given the great city center location. Charges in Indian Rupees only, no dollar rates. Breakfast and bed tea/coffee are included in the tariff. Outstanding service and responsiveness to guest needs. The staff and the duty managers truly focus on giving you the best experience. Optional charge of about US $10 per night for use of the Wi-Fi Internet; you can get an hourly, daily or a weekly package. Many options at buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner. Besides, many good restaurants within walking distance (1-3 kms or 1-1.5 miles) from the hotel. The business center and the gym are small due to space constraints. But the hotel is working on expanding them on the terrace, and add spa facilities as well before the end of 2007. They are also refurbishing the rooms with marble-like flooring, stylish bathrooms, and better amenities. All before the end of 2007. Very highly recommended particularly for business travellers and long-staying guests. Execellent value and outstanding service!

Booked rooms for November 30 arrival. Staff made reservation for September 30. Was charged entire amount althought I verified on the phone that this was changed to November. Could not get written confirmation as staff said they had made change but were having fax issues. I am having to dispute this charge and manager was not willing to work with me on this issue

I just had three days at St Marks (Feb 2006). While it is not the worst hotel I've stayed in, I have stayed in better. The biggest disadvantage - for the business traveller wanting to maintain an exercise program - is the small (very small) gym and lack of a pool. The gym is also open only at certain times of the day (couple of hours in the morning, few hours in the evening). One treadmill, one bike, 1 multipurpose weight machine, few small free weights. The rooms are ok, the staff are friendly.. oh - the food is not that brilliant (for the Western business traveller) - but again there have been worse....

St. Mark's is very centrally located with easy access to all of Bangalore. The hotel is very clean, the staff is very courteous and the breakfast was very sumptuous and of excellent quality.

Friendly and professional staff, great location, clean, wonderful food, and reasonably priced. Helpful staff, a nice little bar and fantastic brunch. The onlky thing I did not like was the carpet in the room. I hope they will have some rooms without carpets.

Although confirming the reservation the morning of our arrival, the hotel lied about sending us a cancellation and gave our room to higher paying customers that arrived before us. Then they did little to help us solve the problem. I wouldn't consider staying there in the future!
