Wow, this Oberon appeals to me way more than the one in Mumbai…even though as you mention the style is a bit dated, the whole setting (the garden 😍) is so much warmer and hospitable. It’s a long time ago I visited India, this makes me want to go there! Thank you for the beautiful review 🙏🏼
Thank for giving India the recognition it deserves, though the street food videos and the chaos of the cities in India has its own charm but the luxury that I always wanted foreigners to know about India has finally been recognized, as a upper middle class and middle class person from India there is a completely different lifestyle we enjoy that not many foreigner explore, I actually booked a hotel in Mumbai on my recent trip on the recommendation of a foreign vlogger and after 15 mins of checking in I left the property and went to another one coz that property was nowhere near liveable, also the hospitality in India is nowhere else to be seen, I always tell everyone wherever I go about the hospitality
I stayed at Oberoi a decade ago and it is quintessentially 90's Bangalore as you rightly describe. The other hotel with a very similar vibe is the Taj West End. Did you stay there as well? I personally prefer the Taj over Oberoi.
I just booked my 3-night stay with Oberoi. I also watched your review on Leela, and although you scored it slightly higher, I decided to stay at the Oberoi. Thanks for your excellent, detailed reviews.
I can’t appreciate the bgm choices enough.. while it’s easier to put a generic “Indian” music (that does at most time make my ears bleed because of how low effort they are), I love how the music flows with the general theme (especially for the Taj video and now this). Really enjoy your content! 😊
I have a friend who used to work here as an intern. He also had worked in other hotels like Taj. When I asked him which one is the best he told me that it is the Oberoi. Mainly because of the service. Seems like it is true. Thanks a lot for the video. Planning to visit here someday.
I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel and the staff's attention to detail and going the extra mile to make you happy is worth highlighting. I'm just very very satisfied 😊
I didn't- unless it is the only option, you will rarely find me at a pan-Asian restaurant. There are simply too many styles of cuisines to do them all well at the same time, from the same kitchen (in my opinon). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
New subscriber superb honest lnformation I have tried oberai hotel for dinner and Breakfast as you mentioned it's little spicy but one has a variety..as you informed unbiased and FAIR appreciated your thoughts 🌹🌹🌹
Awesome video man...👍 I would recommend you to try THE ROSEATE GANGES in rishikesh if you want to experience natural+spiritual peace at some point in life. That place near the river changed my perception of life...
Hi there, from Bengaluru, the Oberoi is one of the top of hotels in Bengaluru, but you should also try the ITC Gardenia the next time you come, which i think is the best Btw Your content is as amazing!!
I really enjoy your videos. I just happened by chance to check out the price you paid for this, and expected that it would have cost at least triple the price. In Tel Aviv, that price will get you a basic room, in a "5 Star" hotel with nowhere near the service, or anything approaching the lavish splendor of that hotel.
I do wonder if you’ll ever visit Bora Bora and the French Polynesia! I just came back from the Four Seasons Bora Bora and I was amazed. If you ever plan on considering the four seasons bora bora, I highly advice and beg that you book the “Mountain View Room”, we stayed at the lagoon view also but the Mountain View was just mind blowing. Once you enter the room and then walk out to your little terrace, you’ll be blown away by the view, and if you do have the budget, upgrade to the Mountain View with plunge pool! Also, just subscribed to your Patreon with the explorer tier. I subscribed to your YT channel just five days ago and I gotta say love the content
Tahiti, the Maldives and the Seychelles are three places that are certainly on my list in the coming years, but simply becuase of the transport costs involved, all three are really deep dives for my kind of fast paced travel. This year, the closest I'll get to Tahiti will be Fiji (not complaining haha). Thanks for watching & the support 🙏
Спасибо вам за обзор! Особенно за то, что титры на русском языке. Я постоянно смотрю ваши обзоры. Нравилось, что вы делаете оценку отелей ( номера проверяете на чистоту) теперь ваши видео будут производить на меня неизгладимое впечатление! Спасибо вам! 😍
Большое спасибо за указание на субтитры. Это то, что меня всегда удивляет, когда я вижу, как много создателей контента этого не делают. Включение каждого языка занимает 10 секунд, поэтому я всегда стараюсь иметь 50-60 языков. 🙏
Hi Kevin, you are doing an incredible job of showcasing some of our best in the hospitality sector...thank you for that. That said, this hotel is located on Mahatma(not Mohamad) Gandhi road or M.G. road.
Thanks, but I certainly did not say Mohammad- I’ve listened to it around 50 times and it’s clear as day Mahatma to me, which is why I haven’t muted it. Thanks.
Going to Kolkata later this month. I see the Oberoi offered at starting from INR 11,000 a.i. ($134). That looks like a bargain, when I see what you paid.
I really enjoyed my stay here...BUT...the pizza served (room service) was really cold...The next day I started chatting with one of the more friendly staff...and he gave me a lot of tips..and shared a lot of information about the hotel..He also told me about how some of the hotel staff were not doing a good job- and mentioned about the poor room service (in terms of how cold food was being served often ) as one of the things lacking...I told him I had had a similar experience last night. This was a year ago...I really enjoyed my stay except for this part.
I certainly did not lol. One other viewer asked the same thing (in not quite the nice way you have) and I relistened to my pronunciation in the published video probably around 20 times and I clearly hear Mahatma. If I did hear Mohamed, I would have muted that part of the video.
I'm staying at Oberoi Bangalore right now and I'm finding the staff very cold, robotic, and disengaged. The sound proofing in the rooms is also terrible. You can hear every little thing your neighbors are doing.
I know for sure the rooms on both sides of me were occupied and I didn’t hear a thing unless I was out on the balcony. I guess you’ve got some noisy neighbors!
Why India scares you? India has low crime rate than USA and many Western countries. India is currently the 5th largest economy in the world. I think you should stop watching Western media reports which are mostly biased.
Kevin the oberoi Bengaluru is nowhere compared to some of the international hotels you have reviewed like say amankila, or some of the places in the Maldives, greece or Mauritius. This hotel is a great city hotel but does not have the wow factor some of your other properties. This one is bang on the main city area of Bangalore.
Yes, I shall compose, conduct, perform and record all of my music from now on. 😏 I literally use a different track in every video. If you don’t like it, 🤷🏼♂️

Absolute tranquility and opulence in the middle of the bustling metropolis of Bangalore.
Agree! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Thrilled to see Indian hotels on your itinerary. Amazing video as usual ❤
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks for the wonderful video tour. It’s a fantastic hotel with so much lush green.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Finally finished watching every single one of your India videos
Thanks for watching 🩴

Thanks a lot for the video.

Hope you enjoy it!
Welcome to Bangalore! I hope your enjoy our little slice of paradise. I also hoped you took a flight out of the brand new terminal 2 of KIA.
Wasn’t open in time for my flights. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel and the staff's attention to detail and going the extra mile to make you happy is worth highlighting. I'm just very very satisfied 😊
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Another excellent review. What a place! I'd love to visit it one day
Thanks for watching 🩴
Great video. Your review is as well-done as the Oberoi.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I think being 'dated' itself is a unique style and it was beautiful here !
Dated is fine as long as it’s kept in pristine condition. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
love your vlogs lookiing forwarrd to using your rvlogs as a refrerance for future adventures thank you kevin lee [perth australia
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
We stayed at the Oberoi after watching this video. Everything was perfect ❤ next up Leela
Enjoy your trip 🗺️
Outstanding video as always! Your dinner at Lapis looked supurb. Did you try Wabi Sabi while you were there!?! The menu is mouthwatering!
I didn't- unless it is the only option, you will rarely find me at a pan-Asian restaurant. There are simply too many styles of cuisines to do them all well at the same time, from the same kitchen (in my opinon). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Your content quality is immaculate....

Ready for Goa !
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Just out of curiosity…. Are you going to review taj lake palace hotel and Oberoi Udaivilas in the city of Udaipur?
You'll have to wait and find out 😉 (until then, check out the info on my About tab). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I think you should also review more indian hotels and airlines
I mean… that’s exactly what I’m doing right now lol.

Very different cites with different price points. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Lovely hotel 🇳🇪👍
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Had stayed der wonderful property

You should see the ITC Royal Bengal in Kolkata city
Wasn’t too impressed with the ITC I did visit… we shall see if I make it there in the future. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Thanks
in all your travels . do you recommend using the safe in the room.? are they safe .. sorry for the pun.. thank you for all your content
I do use them, but only for certain items. Are they safe? Well that depends on who has the master key, I suppose. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. On this one did you say located on Mohamed Gandhi road?
I certainly did not lol. One other viewer asked the same thing (in not quite the nice way you have) and I relistened to my pronunciation in the published video probably around 20 times and I clearly hear Mahatma. If I did hear Mohamed, I would have muted that part of the video.

How much Rait for family
I'm not a travel agent ;)
India, though surely attractive from a cultural view, scares me way too much to ever go there. However, absolutely fascinating property.
Hmmmm… ok 🙃 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Worst lunch one could ever have at an oberoi. They're compromising on quality these days.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
I love marriot trade
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
It’s Mahatma Gandhi Road. Pronounced in the same way.
(And that’s how I pronounced it…)
i have been to oberoi bangalore, the rooms are small and totally outdated style.
To each their own! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Mohammed Gandhi road. Are you serious?
I certainly did not say that. Have another listen.

Hmm, well… I’ve never been to Amankila, the Maldives or Mauritius… so… 🤷🏼♂️
@@tfft okay, my bad then, I have confused your channel with someone else's. My apologies to you.
Get some original music in the background. The one you use is very bad.
Yes, I shall compose, conduct, perform and record all of my music from now on. 😏
I literally use a different track in every video. If you don’t like it, 🤷🏼♂️
It's not Muhammed ghandi Road it's mahatma ghandi MG ROAD .... BUDDY ...
I didn’t say Muhammad BUDDY. Have another listen. Your trolling isn’t gonna fly here.
