Shakthi Hill Resorts
Budget cottages with an outdoor pool in RR Nagar
About this hotel
The cottage format sets this apart from the tower-block hotels elsewhere on this list: each unit comes with its own living room rather than a single hotel-style room, which suits a family or a longer stay better than a standard business room would. RR Nagar, in southwest Bengaluru, sits well away from the tech corridors and the historic centre, and Shanmukha Temple, nine minutes on foot, is the main landmark within easy walking distance. Masaledaar Desi Rasoi, four minutes away by taxi, covers a proper meal beyond the hotel's own restaurant and bar. This is explicitly marketed as a budget hotel, and the 7.6 rating across 3,989 reviews reflects a simple, no-frills stay rather than a polished one. The airport is a long 1 hour 20 minutes by taxi, and over two and a half hours by public transport, so this is not a stay for a short layover.

Our take
This suits budget travellers who want a cottage with its own living room and an outdoor pool at the lowest price on this list, and who are not chasing a tech-corridor or historic-centre address. The 7.6 rating is honestly the most modest here, so expectations should match the 48 EUR nightly rate rather than a polished 5-star stay. Anyone needing to reach the airport quickly should book elsewhere, since the transfer from RR Nagar runs well over an hour by taxi and close to three hours by public transport.
- ✓Book a cottage here specifically if you want a separate living room, which is unusual among the other properties on this list.
- ✓Eat at Masaledaar Desi Rasoi, four minutes by taxi, for a proper meal beyond the hotel's own restaurant and bar.
- ✓Avoid this stay if you need quick airport access, since the transfer runs over an hour by taxi and near three hours by public transport.
Why we love it
- The cheapest outdoor pool stay on this list

- Shanmukha Temple nine minutes on foot
- A genuine budget option without pretence
Why guests love itShakthi Hill Resorts is the cheapest pool stay on our list, around 48 EUR a night, and it earns that price with simple cottages rather than a full-service hotel: each has its own living room, alongside a restaurant, bar and an outdoor pool. It sits in RR Nagar, nine minutes on foot from Shanmukha Temple, and suits guests happy to trade polish for a relaxed, low-cost pool break rather than a resort-standard finish.
