WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STAYING IN BANGALORE?

Travel in Bangalore

Bangalore has plenty of ways to get in and around the city; Bangalore International Airport is the busiest airport in South India spanning over 4,000 acres. It’s an hour car trip into the centre and taxis and car rentals are an easy option to get around the city as well as to and from the airport. However, if you’d prefer to take in the city, then a popular mode of transport is an auto rickshaw which is a three wheeled motorised vehicle. Bangalore is also well-connected by train and has an extensive bus system. Whatever mode of transportation you choose, getting to your Bangalore serviced apartment is an easy task.

Shopping in Bangalore

Bangalore has a variety of high-street and street shopping including Commercial Street, one of the most famous markets in Bangalore based in a busy neighbourhood in the centre, close to many of our Bangalore corporate housing options. It is a sensual array of sights, smells and sounds; you won’t leave the market empty handed. If you prefer a more traditional market, then Malleswaram market is ideal. It sells herbs, spices, and local delicacies for you to enjoy.  Finally, Brigade Road is a commercial centre with several shopping centre, cafes and one of the oldest bookstores in India, Blossom's Book House.

Things to do in Bangalore

If you need a break during your busy working day, before you retire to your Bangalore serviced apartments, stroll over to Lalbagh Botanical Garden. This tranquil garden is full of over 1,000 species of plants, with rare plants from Afghanistan, Persia, and France. It holds two flower shows every year, in January and August, so if you can visit during these months the gardens look especially beautiful. To experience some of the city's history explore Bangalore Palace, the royal palace, featuring Tudor-style architecture inspired by England's Windsor Castle. It was opened to the public in 1944, and guests can immerse themselves in the building covered in nineteenth and twentieth century paintings; it is also an events venue. A religious site you must-visit is ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) Temple Bangalore. It is one of the largest temples in the world and was inaugurated in 1997. Anyone is welcome to visit and there are prayers and spiritual workshops held regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I amend or cancel my serviced apartment in Bangalore?

    Two of the most common questions we get asked is can I amend or cancel my booking? Each property has a specific cancellation policy set out by the property manager, therefore as long as you give enough notice before your arrival this should not be a problem. Most amendments do not come with charges, however if you give late notice for instance charges are more likely to be applied. You can find the cancellation policy for each apartment listed on the ‘Cancellation Policy’ tab on each property profile on our website. On top of this, the Account Management team will also confirm any terms and conditions, including the cancellation policy, at the reservation stage.

    Requests to amend bookings are common so our Account Management team are more than capable and ready to handle any queries or changes you wish to make to your reservation. Extensions are mostly subject to availability whilst requests to shorten your stay or full cancellations may incur cancellation charges. This all depends on how much notice you give and the policy which you will be able to find in your booking confirmation. Please don't hesitate to contact us as soon as you know that you want to amend your original reservation.
