Clarion Bangalore — Hotel in Bengaluru

If I could rate this hotel a 0 I would, unfortunately google doesn’t permit it. We had the most unpleasant experience at this hotel. We had booked 55 rooms in the month of May’23 for our wedding in Dec’23 which was confirmed on email along with the hotel management / leadership on copy. Suddenly out of the blue after a lapse of 4 months the general manager Chiradeep decided to WhatsApp me (speaks of their professionalism) stating that he would need to cancel our reservation for “unforeseen circumstances”. When asked what the unforeseen circumstance was, he was unable to justify the same. When we enquired personally with the manager who made our booking (who was by then an ex-employee), we were informed that Chiradeep (GM) made a double booking on the same dates. In order to cover his blatant mistake, Chiradeep was coordinating with us on WhatsApp vs. emails. All hotels were booked out due to Excon exhibition which was taking place at the same time as our wedding. So you can only imagine the trouble we had to go through to host our guests in north Bangalore due to the fraudulent actions of this hotel. After numerous email communications and getting in touch with the franchise of clarion, we were put in touch with Lokesh, owner of this dubious hotel. When we questioned Lokesh of the unprofessionalism right under his nose he responded stating “I dint check the hotels email confirmation to you & I’m not aware of it”, - do note, he was very much on CC, if this isn’t a joke I don’t know what else would qualify as one. Lokesh had the audacity to request us to adjust, as we were the wedding party spending all the money. Lokesh even requested we settle to stay at other shady hotels to which he took us (the hotels shown to us dint even qualify as 3 star), while we had booked clarion which was apparently 4.5 star. So this made me think if the reviews were even genuine. Lokesh is running a circus without knowing the ABC’s of hotel management. We were harassed, cheated and disrespected during the entire process, while we had adequate proof to take this hotel to court we decided to avoid the hassle as we wanted our wedding to go as smoothly as possible. After all the struggle, we were coerced to take only 25 rooms. Do avoid this hotel at all cost, it’s shameful on your part Lokesh & management, all your actions are highly questionable. For anyone reading this review, do note you have much better options like Attide, Visthara, Angsana for bulk bookings. Save yourself from the...

My daughter recently had the misfortune of dealing with Clarion Hotel, and I must say it was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. To put it bluntly, this hotel provided the worst experience I have ever had, and I strongly advise anyone considering staying here to think twice and look elsewhere.

Our ordeal began when my daughter made a bulk booking of rooms for her wedding, a momentous occasion that required careful planning and coordination. We received confirmation of the reservation, giving us peace of mind that everything was in order. However, just five months later, out of the blue, the hotel management decided to cancel the reservation, throwing our plans into disarray and leaving us utterly helpless.

What makes matters worse is that the reasons provided for the cancellation were completely baseless. It seemed as though the hotel management had no regard for the impact their decision would have on my daughter’s special day. As a result of their reckless and inconsiderate actions, we were forced to scramble and incur significant additional expenses to secure alternative accommodations for our wedding guests.

To add insult to injury, it became evident that the hotel management, particularly the owner, Lokesh and general manager, Chiradeep, had ulterior motives. It became clear that we were cheated and taken advantage of. Their actions reeked of dishonesty and left a bitter taste in our mouths. It is truly disheartening to think that a place that is supposed to provide comfort and hospitality would resort to such deceitful practices.

In light of our experience, I feel compelled to warn all potential guests and reviewers to steer clear of this dubious establishment. Clarion Hotel has shown a complete lack of integrity and professionalism. The way they treated us and the disregard they showed for the important event is simply unacceptable.

I implore anyone reading this review to avoid Clarion Hotel at all costs. Save yourself the stress, disappointment, and financial burden that we had to endure. There are countless other hotels that will genuinely value and prioritize your well-being as a guest. Don't make the same mistake we did—stay far away from...

I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at this hotel and I must say it was one of the worst decisions I've ever made. From the moment I walked in, the problems began. The receptionist was rude and unhelpful, making me feel like an inconvenience rather than a guest.Once I reached my room, I was greeted by a musty odor that seemed to permeate everything. The furnishings were outdated, worn, and frankly, quite uncomfortable. The bed was like sleeping on a pile of rocks, and the pillows were lumpy and flat. I might as well have slept on the floor for all the comfort I got.The state of cleanliness was appalling. There were stains on the carpet, the bathroom tiles were grimy, and I even found a stray hair on the supposedly "clean" towels. It's as if the housekeeping staff hadn't touched the room in weeks.The amenities were a joke. The "high-speed" Wi-Fi was slower than a snail's pace, making it impossible to even check emails. The so-called "continental breakfast" was a sad assortment of stale bread and lukewarm coffee, leaving me hungry and disappointed. But the absolute worst part of my stay was the noise. The walls were paper-thin, and I could hear every conversation, TV show, and slamming door from neighboring rooms. It felt like I was trying to sleep in the middle of a busy intersection.I strongly advise anyone considering staying here to think twice. This place is a complete waste of money, and you'll end up regretting every penny spent. Do yourself a favor and find a different hotel that actually values its guests and provides a comfortable and...
