Stayed here during a fleeting work visit to the city. They had a very decent spread for the breakfast buffet, which was up and ready by quarter to 7. Check-in was a breeze. Rooms were clean and had all the bells & whistles typically associated with hotels in this category. The room had a massive king-sized bed and the room... more

I'm not quite sure what a corporate hotel is, but that is how its publicity describes The Chancery; it is very reasonably-priced for a business hotel in Bangalore. This may be because it’s less slick and glossy and ‘international’ than other business-oriented hotels in the city – it’s noticeable that the staff have a less competent grasp of English than... more

We deal with a company in Bangalore who have regularly booked any of our representatives into the Chancery whenever we go to Bangalore, so, from colleagues tales I knew what to expect. I would suggest the way to approach the Chancery is with a sense of humour. Its an Indian experience... The hotel may have been very grand some time... more

The folks here at least didn’t expect me to drink water out of the toilet wash-basin!! I stayed at Chancery around 10 times & never I had a problem with the staff - In a place like Bangalore where the hotel tariffs sky-rocket each passing day, Chancery's really reasonable. In terms of location, it can't get any better - it's... more

The hotel's facade is in pink and tucked into a turn on Lavelle Road located near Hard Rock, MG road and the cricket stadium. The location is not bad with easy access to MG road although most of our drivers past it without realising. The bedroom furnishings and bathroom fittings are relatively old. TV comes with about 100 channels. Rooms... more

This was a relatively expensive hotel for what it offered. The rooms were shabby: The small number of electric sockets were badly installed, the room smelt of a combination of fly-spray and damp. The room, though fairly clean, had stained furniture. The sheets and towels were cleanish - but had obviously been washed many times as they were grey. There... more

After staying at several other hotels in Bangalore, I settled on staying at the Chancery several years ago. It keeps getting better and my last stay prompted me to compliment them on their hospitality. I was late when I arrived and the hotel’s driver called in before I arrived. The clerk met me in the lobby with the papers ready... more

Fortunately, I was travelling on business, so did not pay the bill myself - if I had done, I would be looking for a refund. The place smelled of insecticide - liberally sprayed around the hotel on a nightly basis. Also, bed linen, pillows and carpets were all damp to the touch. There was mould growing on the lining of... more

The daily bug bomb/spraying can’t be good for long term health. I can only imagine the scene had the hotel not had an active extermination program. Don’t waste your money scheduling the “conference” facility – It’s a joke. The guy hired to sit there for three days to monitor the audio system couldn’t even do that correctly. In fairness to... more
