Bangalore's BEST Hotel with Metro View: Unbeatable Deals at O Metro View Inn!
Okay, buckle up, because we're about to dive headfirst into the chaotic, wonderful, and occasionally slightly-off-kilter world of O Metro View Inn, Bangalore's "BEST Hotel with Metro View" (and yes, they're shouting that, so I will too!). I'm gonna give you the REAL deal, the good, the slightly-less-good, and the stuff that made me raise an eyebrow (in a good way, mostly). Prepare for a review that's less travel brochure, more late-night chat with a travel-weary friend.
First Impressions (Accessibility & Getting Your Bearings)
Okay, so first things first: getting to the hotel. Bangalore traffic, right? It's a beast. But the good news is, O Metro View Inn is actually pretty decent in terms of accessibility. They advertise "Airport Transfer," and listen, after a long flight, that's a godsend. They’ve got on-site parking (free!), which is a HUGE win in a city where parking is a mythical creature. They also boast an elevator, which is key if you're not a fan of stairs (and, frankly, who is?). They also claim "Facilities for disabled guests," which is great to see - although I didn't personally test it, it's a big plus.
Rambling on the Rooms (and That Glorious Metro View!)
Right, the rooms. Let's be honest, that's what you really care about, right? And here's where the "Metro View" part comes in. YES, it's a real thing. And YES, it's pretty darn cool. Especially at night, with the trains whizzing by… okay, maybe not whizzing – more of a gentle, rhythmic whoosh. But still, a cool view!
- My Room: Okay, I'm going full-on stream-of-consciousness here. The room… was clean. Spotlessly clean, actually. Like, maybe a little too clean? I'm not saying I suspect a conspiracy, but the level of cleanliness felt almost… clinical. But hey, I'm not complaining!
- The Details: Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double check! Essential for sleeping off that jet lag or just hiding from the Bangalore heat. Coffee/tea maker? Oh, yes! Free bottled water? Hallelujah! I’m one of those people who drinks a ton of water, so this was a huge bonus. The bed was… well, it was a bed. Comfortable enough. Not the most luxurious bed I've ever slept on, but perfectly acceptable.
- The Imperfections: Okay, here's where the imperfection creeps in. The Wi-Fi, advertised as "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!", was a little… spotty at times. Not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if you're relying on it for work. And the TV… well, let's just say I spent a lot of time channel surfing. But hey, sometimes that's part of the charm, right?
- The Little Things: The little things matter, you know? The "Slippers" were a nice touch. The "Bathrobes" were fluffy. The "Mirror" was… a mirror. All good!
Food, Glorious Food (Dining, Drinking, and Snacking)
Okay, let's talk food. This is where things get really interesting. O Metro View Inn has a whole bunch of options:
- The Restaurant: They have a restaurant, and it’s… well, it’s a restaurant. They offer "Asian cuisine in restaurant," and "Western cuisine in restaurant," so you've got options. Breakfast is a buffet, advertised as "Breakfast [buffet]." I'm a sucker for a good buffet, and this one was pretty decent. The "Asian breakfast" was particularly good - the dosas were crispy and delicious. The coffee, however, was… well, let's just say I needed a lot of it.
- The Coffee Shop: Yes, they have a coffee shop. Perfect for that mid-afternoon caffeine fix.
- Room Service: 24-hour room service! A lifesaver if you arrive late or just don't feel like leaving your room.
- Poolside Bar: Okay, I didn't actually use the poolside bar because… well, I'll get to that later.
- Snack Bar: Always a good thing to have.
The Amenities (Relaxation, Fitness, and… Well, More Rambling!)
This is where O Metro View Inn really tries to impress. They have a swimming pool (outdoor, and with a view, apparently!), a fitness center, and a spa.
- The Pool: Okay, I have to be honest here. I wanted to use the pool. I envisioned myself lounging by the pool, sipping a cocktail, enjoying the view. But, and this is a big BUT… it was closed for "maintenance" during my stay. Total bummer. So I can't tell you if the "Pool with view" lives up to the hype, but I'm hoping it’s amazing because otherwise, I'm gonna be really disappointed on my next visit.
- The Fitness Center: I peeked in. Looked… functional. I'm not a gym rat, but it seemed to have the basics.
- The Spa: I didn't try the spa, but they offer "Massage," "Body scrub," and "Body wrap." So, all the usual pampering stuff.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, You Know, We Live in a World Now)
Okay, this is important. O Metro View Inn seems to take cleanliness and safety seriously. They advertise "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and "Rooms sanitized between stays." They also have "Hand sanitizer" readily available, and the staff are "Staff trained in safety protocol." It felt safe, and that's a huge relief.
Services and Conveniences (The Little Extras)
They have a lot of services, which is great. "Concierge," "Currency exchange," "Laundry service," "Luggage storage," and a "Gift/souvenir shop." They also have "Cash withdrawal," which is always handy.
For the Kids (Family-Friendly or Not?)
They claim to be "Family/child friendly," and offer "Babysitting service" and "Kids meal." So, if you're traveling with kids, this could be a good option.
Getting Around (Location, Location, Location)
- Airport Transfer: Mentioned this before, but worth repeating.
- Taxi service: Available.
- Car park [free of charge]: Big win!
The Verdict (My Honest, Slightly-Messy Opinion)
O Metro View Inn is a solid choice. It's clean, comfortable, and has a fantastic view. The staff are friendly and helpful. The amenities are good, even if I didn't get to experience them all. The food is decent. The Wi-Fi could be better. But overall, it's a good value for the price.

Escape to Paradise: Nha Trang's Riverfront Resort Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause you're about to dive into the glorious, chaotic mess that was my stay at Hotel O METRO VIEW INN in Bangalore. This ain't your pristine, perfectly-curated travel blog. This is the real deal. Brace yourselves.
Day 1: Arrival, Air Conditioning, and the Existential Dread of Laundry
10:00 AM (ish): Landed in Bangalore. The air, oh, the air! Thick, humid, and smelling faintly of exhaust fumes and… something floral. It's a sensory overload right off the bat. Found a pre-paid taxi. The driver, bless his soul, drove like he was auditioning for a Fast & Furious movie. I held on for dear life, muttering prayers under my breath.
11:30 AM: Arrived at Hotel O METRO VIEW INN. First impressions? It's… functional. Let's go with functional. The lobby was a bit dimly lit, and a lone ceiling fan was valiantly battling the Bangalore heat. Checked in. The receptionist, a young woman with kind eyes and a weary smile, was clearly used to dealing with jet-lagged, slightly bewildered foreigners like myself.
12:00 PM: Room acquired! It's… well, the "Metro View" is a generous interpretation. Mostly I see a busy street and a lot of other buildings. But hey, the AC works! Praise be to the gods of refrigeration! Seriously, I think I'd pay extra just for the AC.
1:00 PM: Lunch. Ordered room service. The menu was… ambitious. I went for the chicken tikka masala. It arrived quickly, which was a good sign. The tikka masala? A bit… bland. Okay, a lot bland. It tasted like someone thought about adding spices, but then got distracted by a particularly compelling episode of Indian soap opera. Ate it anyway. Starvation is a powerful motivator.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Attempted a nap. Failed miserably. The street noise was relentless. Honking, shouting, the rhythmic clang of a metal workshop… it was a symphony of urban chaos. Gave up on the nap and decided to conquer the laundry situation. Laundry in India is an adventure in itself. The hotel offered a service, but I'm a cheapskate, and I had a mountain of dirty clothes. This is where the existential dread truly kicked in. The thought of hand-washing everything in a tiny hotel sink… Ugh.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Walked around the neighborhood. Found a small, bustling market. The colors, the smells, the sheer energy of the place were intoxicating. It was beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. I bought some fruit from a vendor who gave me a look like I was completely insane for not knowing what a dragon fruit was. He was probably right. Got thoroughly lost. Found my way back to the hotel, exhausted but exhilarated.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Tried a different restaurant down the street. This time the food was amazing! Spicy, flavorful, and I think it actually made me sweat (in a good way!). The waiter, a young man who looked like he hadn't slept in a week, was incredibly attentive and incredibly sweet. I left a generous tip. He deserved it.
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Watched some Indian TV. Couldn't understand a word, but the drama was palpable. Found myself completely captivated.
10:30 PM: Attempted sleep again. The street noise was still there. But, strangely, I was less bothered. I'd started to acclimate. Or maybe I was just too tired to care.
Day 2: Coffee, Chaos, and the Curse of the Auto-Rickshaw
7:00 AM: Woke up (or rather, was woken up) by the incessant honking. The AC had mysteriously switched itself off overnight. Cue grumbling and immediate re-ignition of the AC war.
7:30 AM: Found coffee. Glorious, strong, black coffee. The hotel's breakfast buffet was a bit… sparse. But the coffee was a lifesaver.
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Decided to tackle some touristy stuff. Visited the Bangalore Palace. It was… okay. A bit underwhelming, to be honest. Felt like a slightly faded Disney castle. The gardens were lovely, though. Got hustled by a few souvenir vendors. Clearly, my "tourist" face is a beacon for opportunistic salespeople.
12:00 PM: The auto-rickshaw experience. This is where things got really interesting. Decided to take an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) to a local temple. Negotiating the fare was a battle of wills. The driver, a wizened man with a mischievous grin, quoted a price that was clearly inflated. I countered. He countered. We went back and forth for what felt like an eternity. Finally, we settled on a price that was probably still too high. But hey, it was an experience! The ride itself was a white-knuckle adventure through chaotic traffic. I swear, he was playing chicken with buses. I arrived at the temple a little shaken, but alive.
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Visited the temple. It was beautiful, peaceful, and filled with the scent of incense. I spent some time just wandering around, watching people pray, and trying to absorb the atmosphere. It was a truly powerful experience.
3:00 PM: Lunch. Found a small, local eatery. The food was delicious and incredibly cheap. The only downside? The questionable cleanliness of the utensils. I ate with one eye on my plate and the other on the health inspector.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Attempted to find a tailor. Needed some clothes adjusted. This proved to be a major quest. Got lost multiple times, asked for directions from at least a dozen people, and eventually stumbled upon a tiny shop tucked away in a back alley. The tailor, a tiny woman with a needle and thread in her hand and a look of utter disdain on her face, agreed to take on the job. She spoke no English, but somehow, we managed to communicate through hand gestures and a shared language of exasperation.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Ordered room service again. This time, the food was… better. Still not amazing, but edible.
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Journaling, reading, and attempting to organize my thoughts. Realized I'd already lost track of which day it was. Time is a fluid concept in Bangalore.
10:30 PM: Sleep. Finally, actual sleep. The street noise had become a comforting white noise. Or maybe I'd just reached my breaking point.
Day 3: The Bangalore Traffic Apocalypse and the Unexpected Joy of a Street Snack
7:00 AM: Woke up to a symphony of car horns, construction, and the faint aroma of… something vaguely spicy. This is the soundtrack to my life in Bangalore.
7:30 AM: Breakfast. Same as yesterday. Coffee is still the hero.
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Decided to take a bus to a different part of the city. Big mistake. The traffic was a living, breathing beast. The bus was packed tighter than a sardine can. I was squeezed between a man who was loudly chewing betel nut and a woman who was giving me the side-eye for… well, I'm still not sure why. The journey took twice as long as it should have. I arrived at my destination feeling like I'd run a marathon.
12:00 PM: The Tailor's Shop. Went to pick up the clothes. She'd done a great job. The clothes fit perfectly. The look of disdain was gone, replaced by a tiny, almost imperceptible smile. It was a victory!
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch. Found a bustling street food stall. Had the most amazing pani puri I've ever tasted. Crispy, tangy, spicy… pure bliss. The vendor, a young man with a mischievous grin, made me several. I devoured them like a ravenous beast. This was the highlight of the entire trip so far. This one little snack was a symphony of flavors, a moment of pure joy amidst the chaos. I'd go back to Bangalore just for the pani puri.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Attempted to visit a museum. Gave up. The traffic was too much. Decided to just wander around the neighborhood.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Found a small park. Sat on a bench and watched people. Bangalore is a city of contrasts. Wealth and poverty, tradition and modernity, all crammed together in a vibrant, chaotic mess. It's both beautiful and challenging, frustrating and exhilarating.
7:00 PM: Dinner. Decided to be adventurous and try a new restaurant
