I recently stayed at the VBR Grand Inn in Bangalore, and I must say, it was an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by an overpowering stench that seemed to have settled into the very walls. The reception staff, if you can call them that, were disinterested and more focused on their phones than helping guests.
The room I was given was filthy, with a layer of dust so thick on the furniture that I could write my name in it. The bathroom was an absolute disaster – the shower barely worked, and the toilet was stained and had a suspiciously "rustic" aroma. To make matters worse, the bed sheets had visible stains, and the pillows were lumpy and flat as pancakes. I almost slept on the floor out of fear of what might crawl into bed with me.
As for the amenities, don't even get me started. The Wi-Fi was slower than dial-up, the so-called "breakfast buffet" was a sad.
To top it off, when I tried to bring these issues to the attention of the management, I was met with a blank stare and the response, "This is how we are, sorry."
Save yourself the misery and go somewhere – anywhere – else. VBR Grand Inn is neither grand nor an inn.
