Cheap Clean Decent hotel in Bangalore under Rs 500 single lady traveller?

Question

Thank you very much for all the prompt suggestions. Am not sure if i had to add it to my question so i have put my thank you note here.

I am leaving for India on June 23

Answer 1

I would recommend YWCA accommodation for better connectivity and facilities.  It is quite safe and secure.  Though, it is not an hotel, but stay there at your budget.

Answer 2

It depends on which area you want to stay. There are some new hotels in BTM ring road near Jaya Deva Circle.

or some in Jayanagar 4th Block.

If its near Majestic check, Kamat hotel (Landmark: New Sapna Book Store). Other good hotes are there in that area. Decent enough and close to Private Travels.

Not sure about the hotels very close to Majestic Busstand. Probably not safe for a single women.

Answer 3

The main Majestic Area wherein u find the central intercity bus terminus and the railway station.

Kanishka, Nanda, sahara, and other lodges....( Not recommended for reasons of security)

Close by in gandhinagar area u find Pulakesi (sort of ok)

In the Cantonment area (where MG Rd and Brigade Rd is,) you find Citizens Lodge, Central Lodge etc...about Rs 500/day on hospital Rd and lady curzon Rd, and Infantry Rd.

Very safe area frequented by Brits, Germans, sweds and french.

Jayanagar, Koramangala, etc U have nothing for that sorta price.

Answer 4

Hi Urrvi, Welcome to B'lore...

Here are some place where ucan find accommodation..

It is difficult to get a room in the Mahatma Gandhi Rd (MG Rd) area without a reservation. The rooms in the MG Rd area are generally good and in the middle of all the action. There are many cheap impersonal hotels near the railway and bus stations, but it is not nearly as nice a place to stay as the MG Rd area. There are also many hotels along Subahdar Chatram Rd (SC Rd), about a five-minute walk from the railway station.
