Travelers have the choice of hundreds of hotels in Bangalore, ranging from rooms for a few rupees to all the international chains such as the Sheraton. We have stayed for several years, often for a few days two or three times in one journey, at an economical but perfectly satisfactory small hotel, AJ International Hotel,#15/1 Bowring Hospital Road, across from Saint Paul's Church, near the corner of Jumma Masjid Road. The AJ is safe, clean, and friendly and has 24 hour hot water It is close to shopping on Commercial Street a few blocks away.and has on site parking. Double Room: Rs1800 (~$30) a night with substantial breakfast, newspaper, and a liter of drinking water a day included. There is a good restaurant in the AJI and it is close to Kamat Hotel with another good (all veg) restaurant and the best lassi around as well as being close to the Imperial, with a great non-veg and veg menu. The AJ is the site of parties, from the Muslim community mostly, business conferences, job interview fairs, and wedding receptions. Clientele is from a wide variety of communities: Muslim Indians, Gulf Arabs, Tibetans, Hindus, American evangelicals, Europeans, South African women's group, and our American / Buddhist monk six person group . The evangelicals set up singing (hymns) practice and morning devotionals in the reception area several mornings when they were there, tolerated / appreciated by all the other guests, so far as I could discern. We had a birthday party for a friend's daughter, with catered supper and a variety of Hindu and Buddhist school and family friends: Indians, Nepalese, and Tibetans. One could pay more, even much more, but the AJ is more than adequate and has a friendly clientele and staff. It is good place to meet at least part of a cross section of the variety of Indians and travelers in this diverse land. You do not meet India at the Sheraton.
