Unbelievable Luxury in Bangalore? OYO 346 Fortune Comforts Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, occasionally-questionable, world of "Unbelievable Luxury in Bangalore? OYO 346 Fortune Comforts Awaits!" Prepare for a review that's less "polished travel brochure" and more "me, a caffeine-fueled traveler, spilling my guts (and maybe some complimentary coffee) on the internet."
First Impressions: The Grand Entrance (And the Slightly Sketchy Bits)
Okay, let's be real. "Unbelievable Luxury" sets the bar HIGH. Like, "flying with a diamond-encrusted parachute" high. And, well, Fortune Comforts? It's, let's say, aspiring to that level. Getting there? Easy peasy. Accessibility seems decent enough – the elevator is a blesssing, especially after hauling your luggage. I saw a Facilities for disabled guests listed, but I didn't get a chance to test them out.
The exterior? Clean-ish. The CCTV cameras are definitely watching (which is both reassuring and a little unsettling). The 24-hour Security is a solid plus. The exterior corridor? Well, sometimes you get a little whiff of something… local.
Now, about that lobby. It's got the vibe of a slightly-too-ambitious wedding reception that was planned on a Tuesday. But hey, there’s a doorman! A real, honest-to-goodness doorman! Okay, I’m already having fun.
The Room: A Mixed Plate of Comfort and…Uncertainty
The room itself is what you'd expect… and not. Let's be real, there were a few things that needed attention. But hey, I'm a sucker for a good carpeted space! I got to enjoy the extra long bed, which did its job to hold my very tired body.
The air conditioning worked! Praise be! A mini-bar…well, not exactly overflowing with goodies, but enough to give me a sugar rush. The in-room safe box was a welcome sight. The TV had satellite/cable channels, perfect for melting into a pile of blankets after a long day. There was free Wi-Fi (thank goodness!). The desk made setting up my laptop for the day very comfortable. The complimentary tea was a nice touch, as was the coffee/tea maker!
Now, the imperfect bit… The bathroom phone? Not operational. The bathrobes, however, were divine.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Gastronomic Adventure (Maybe)
Okay, the food. This is where things get interesting. They've got a restaurant, which is a good sign. I tried to get a Western breakfast, but the only recognizable thing was the generic scrambled eggs (let's just say the sausages were… adventurous). The buffet was… extensive, if not exactly bursting with flavor.
They’ve got a coffee/tea in restaurant, which is a necessity for me, and a poolside bar. I swear, the cocktails were like they tried to be good, but ended up with a little something missing.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams
Okay, so, I didn’t try everything. But! They had a fitness center! And a pool with a view! The spa was whispering promises of bliss! I did get to enjoy the swimming pool [outdoor], and that was just what I needed to refresh myself in the heat.
Cleanliness and Safety: Taking it Seriously (Thank Goodness!)
Look, in the post-Covid era, this is paramount. And Fortune Comforts? Impressively on point. They had hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff is trained in safety protocol, which is crucial. The daily disinfection in common areas and room sanitization between stays made me feel way more at ease. I even saw individually-wrapped food options. Excellent stuff!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Matter
This is where Fortune Comforts shines (at least in theory). 24-hour Room service? Fantastic! They have luggage storage, even the cash withdrawal was easy. I'm too lazy to even consider going to the convenience store!
Getting Around:
I actually got to use their airport transfer, which was a great option.
Final Verdict (and the Deep Breath Before the Pitch)
Look, is this "unbelievable luxury" in the St. Regis sense of the word? Probably not. Is it comfortable, convenient, and surprisingly safe? Absolutely. Is it a solid option for your Bangalore adventure, or even just a quick stopover? YES!
And now, for the grand finale… My Pitch!

Escape to Paradise: MG's Place, Cabanatuan's Hidden Gem!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your polished, Instagram-filtered travel itinerary. This is real life, Bangalore style. We're starting at OYO 346 Fortune Comforts. God help us.
Day 1: Arrival & Bangalore Blitzkrieg (or, "Where's My Damn Coffee?")
Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Oh, the joys of budget travel. Landed at Kempegowda International Airport, looking like I'd been wrestled by a particularly ferocious suitcase. The pre-booked airport taxi? MIA, naturally. Switched from anxiety to annoyance, and eventually caught a pre-paid cab. I'm pretty sure the driver thought I was hallucinating. Finally arrived at the illustrious OYO 346 Fortune Comforts. Honestly, the "Comforts" part is a bold claim. The room? Let's call it "compact." The air con sounded like a dying yak. But hey, at least there's a bed, and I swear the sheets are clean(ish). Major shoutout to the hotel's manager for a very warm welcome. It definitely gives you a feeling of security when you are in a strange city for the first time.
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): First mission: find coffee. Bangalore must have good coffee. I'm not a morning person, and the yak-like air con didn't help. After asking about a dozen people in the hotel and outside, I finally got directions to a local cafe, Coffee Day. Oh, the bitter, beautiful nectar! Sat there, watching the street life explode. The smells – incense battling exhaust fumes, the vibrant saris, the honking… It's sensory overload, but in a good way. Feeling almost human. Accidentally ordered a sandwich that was basically a mountain of bread. I swear, I think my stomach's still recovering.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): I decided to get outside. The initial plan was to visit the Bangalore Palace but as I stepped outside, the heat hit me like a wall. So I decided to visit Cubbon Park instead, which was like an Oasis in the middle of Bangalore. Saw families picnicking, couples holding hands, and a whole lot of people just trying to escape the city's chaos. It was lovely. Wandered around for hours, getting pleasantly lost. Found some gorgeous flowers, took a million photos, and felt this weird sense of calm. But, by 3 pm, the hunger pangs were back, so I quickly went to eat at a near by restaurant. The food was really tasty. In fact, it was too tasty.
Evening (4:00 PM - 9:00 PM): I thought that the traffic in Bangalore was supposed to be difficult. Oh, I was so wrong. This city is a living, breathing organism of chaos. Navigating the roads is like playing Mario Kart, except you have to worry about cows and rickshaws instead of green shells. Decided to take the advice of the locals, spent an hour and a half, trying to catch a bus with a local. It was an experience, to say the least. Finally I ended up in MG road to buy some souvenirs. This place is full of good stuff. Later, back to the hotel. Exhausted, stuffed, and slightly overwhelmed. The air con is still yak-ing.
Night (9:00 PM - onwards): After resting for some time, I had dinner at the hotel itself. It was tasty, but not something to write home about. I am pretty exhausted, so I am heading to bed, and I will see what tomorrow brings.
Day 2: Temples, Markets, and a Lesson in Bargaining (or, "My Wallet is Screaming")
Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Okay, I woke up. The air con is still yak-ing. Decided to skip the hotel breakfast. Headed to the famous Bull Temple in Basavanagudi. Absolutely breathtaking. The sheer scale of the bull statue is insane. The area was serene and peaceful, a welcome change from the constant noise. I watched the locals pray, feeling a mix of fascination and… a little bit of shame for my utter lack of spirituality. It's a humbling experience.
Morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Next, I took a stroll to K.R. Market, a sensory explosion of colours, sounds, and smells. Everything – flowers, spices, fruit, vegetables – was on display. I swear, I’ve never seen so many different kinds of flowers in my life. The smell of jasmine was overpowering. I got completely lost in the chaos. I have zero bargaining skills; I think I got ripped off on some spices. But hey, the colours! The energy! It was worth it.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Found a small, local restaurant and decided to try some Dosa. I'd heard so much about Dosa that I had to give it a try. It was heavenly. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, served with a delicious coconut chutney. I almost wanted to order a second one, but I resisted the temptation (barely). Later, I spent the afternoon relaxing at the hotel.
Evening (4:00 PM - 9:00 PM): I wanted to try exploring the nightlife. So I decided to visit some of the pubs that I had heard about. I had some beers and snacks. The people were nice and kind enough to guide me. After a while I wanted to head back to the hotel. I tried to get a cab but kept on failing. I finally got a auto, it was an experience in itself, I was literally driving up and down. The driver was so kind, and he did manage to get me back to the hotel.
Night (9:00 PM - onwards): Back at the glorious OYO 346. The yak-like air con is still yakking, but I don't care anymore. I’m too tired to care. I feel like I could sleep for a week.
Day 3: Farewell Bangalore (and a prayer for my sanity!)
Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Last morning! The yak is still yakking. I think it's become my alarm clock. I'm actually starting to get used to it. I was finally able to get a good cup of coffee at the hotel's "cafe." It was slightly better than the previous day.
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Decided to take it easy today. This is my last day so I wanted to have a nice, and relaxed day. Bangalore has really grown on me. It's messy, chaotic, and sometimes overwhelming, but there's a raw energy and something almost poetic about it that I've come to appreciate. I had a peaceful walk in a park again. Tried to soak it all in, the sounds, smells, the people…
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Last meal in Bangalore. Went back to that little dosa place. Ordered two. No regrets. Visited a small shops in the market, I got some beautiful dresses for myself.
Evening (4:00 PM - onwards): It was time to head back to the airport. After saying goodbyes to my friends, I took a cab. The flight was long and tiring but at the end, I reached my destination with some beautiful memories.
Things I Learned:
- Bargaining is an art form. I am not an artist.
- Embrace the chaos. It's part of the charm.
- Good coffee is a necessity.
- Don't judge a city by its air con. (But seriously, maybe upgrade eventually).
Would I come back to Bangalore? Absolutely. It's a city that gets under your skin. And who knows, maybe next time I'll actually manage to get a taxi on time… and find a hotel with a less… enthusiastic air con unit. Until then, Bangalore, you beautiful, crazy place.
