I really liked the place. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and hygenic. Wi-fi was working well. Both... More

We,CLIK - Bangalore conducted 3 day Events from 18.4.13 to 20.4.13. We found that both the Conference facilities namely Pearl & Viceroy are good. Peral can comfortably accommodate about 25 people and Viceroy about 100 people. We also had booked about 18 Rooms which are really good and value for money in a city like Mangalore. However, they need to... More

The Saffron is a nice hotel with comfortable rooms, very good wifi and it has a lovely location for the breakfast buffet on the roof top. The management however is not very friendly the manager was actually very rude to us. We first got a room right next to the generator which was very loud during the night because there... More

Immediately offered a second room on the same floor where the same problem was found. Then the bellboy informed that there is some maintenance work going on in the sewerage line in 2nd floor... More

We toured Mangalore in Nov 2012 and stayed in "The Saffron" over the weekend. It was decently priced. The rooms were very spacious and well maintained. The staff were very courteous and helped us with our queries. I would recommend "The Saffron" to all those who plan to visit Mangalore.

Pls dont expect 5 star comforts; this is a centrally located good budget hotel with decent service and food. Breakfast spread could have been better, but overall acceptable. Staff is helpful and were able to arrange a city cab for us at very short notice.
