The Porch Inn Hotel/Service Apartments.

Porch Inn Hotel was a perfect home stay to settle down for total of 4 days altogether. The room allotted was quite decent, well equipped with lights and efficient AC and fan running, good cosy bed with other necessary furniture. Good hot water facility, drinking water was not an issue, clean and hygienic washroom with necessary toiletries provided. Daily housekeeping was done and necessary tea/coffee sachets, new soaps, moisturizer and shampoo was provided. Change of towels if requested, maintaining clean and comfy beds were all done as part of their duties. Felt great with the exceptional services, staff on duty were very polite and courteous. Any queries were resolved in a friendly manner and promptly attended. Breakfast once ordered during our stay was also nice. Made up my mind that whenever I visit Bangalore, this is the only place to enjoy and stay...

I stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days along with my kid. We reached the hotel 2-3 hours early and as the room is getting ready early, with the very nominal fee they allowed us to checkin early. Hotel has a private underground parking with 24 hour security personnel and cctv monitoring. The staff at the reception is really kind and helpful and focus on the customer satisfaction. Cleanliness is top notch. They provide complement water bottle every day. Wonderful team. They have a good support staff to cater the need of the guests like moving luggages from the car all the way to the room. Easy to move around to the cities from the hotel and great location with safety for the families. Definitely recommend!!

I booked a standard room at The Porch Inn Hotel , After the smooth check-in , helpful staff behaviour decided to extend my stay for a week However, I left after one night due to a disappointing experience. The room was small compared to other hotels, with basic amenities (soap, shampoo, towels, water) but no dental kit . The lack of an in-house restaurant was inconvenient; a digital scanner offered a limited menu, and dining in the small room was impractical. Breakfast was below average, with insufficient chutney and sambar, and the ordering process felt cumbersome. Most staff were polite, but the night receptionist was extremely rude and unprofessional, making me feel unsafe. This was the main reason I vacated early. The basement parking is small and congested but I found no problem as the staff helps with parking your vehicle.Other room types (1-2 BHK) might be better, but I didn’t try them. The Porch Inn is okay for a budget stay near NIMHANS, but the small rooms ( I wasn’t able to work as there is no proper space in room for desk or chairs), and the night receptionist’s behavior make it hard to recommend. Other hotels in the area offer better comfort. I hope management addresses the staff issue.

We needed a place to stay at the 11th hour. We booked a service apartment for a party of 6. The staff were very courteous and answered all our questions with patience. When we reached (by 1 a.m.) the gentleman at the front desk greeted us warmly and provided all the things we needed. The rooms were clean and spacious. Everything have bee1n maintained well. The rooms were spacious and had good amenities. The staff continued to serve us with a smile and made our stay very enjoyable. We will be customers for life whenever we visitvery c Bangalore. We are very grateful for your team. Thank you!! It would have been helpful to have the A/C in the living area.

We had pleasant experience during our recent month long stay in the service apartment. The team managed by Abu was excellent in all respects of housekeeping, in-room food service and baggage help. We are glad to stay there as needed in future.

I rarely rate hotels but I had quite an extraordinary experience at Porch Inn. It looks like many hotels in Bangalore, but don’t be deceived - better customer service here than many 5 star hotels. Rocky is a legend and should be running concierge services for the Ritz. Will be back

I had serendipitously chanced upon this hotel while searching for accommodation near NIMHANS and it exceeded beyond my expectations. First of all, the location is amazing, just 300 meters away from the NIMHANS convention centre, the Bangalore Dental Hospital and with the Kidwai cancer hospital being a bit further. This makes this hotel the place to book for patients and academicians alike. The staff is very courteous, and I would like to make a special memtion of Mr Abu, the fronkdesk reservation manager, who really customizes care. There are a variety of rooms and apartmemts available for different needs and budgets. In-house food is available with a wide menu. The fruit juices deserve a special mention. They were freshly made and really good. The novelletes in the lobby for a nice night's read and the aquarium also deserve a special mention. The property has a taxi service also. Overall, the place was a budget friendly, value for money hotel providing customised care. A very pleasant stay!

The porch inn staff was attentive and responsive. The location, tucked on side street off a busy road, was perfect for getting picked up and dropped off from. The receptionist, especially those staffed in the middle of the night were always polite and helpful. Never pushy nor requesting reviews be written by their guests. As such, this review comes unprompted and with genuine love and affection. I will suggest this place to all the people I know. Thank you.
