Where to stay for WordCamp Bengaluru 2026. The main day, Sunday 22 November, is at St Joseph’s Boys’ High School on Museum Road, and more than ninety places to sleep sit within two kilometres of the venue.
We have sorted a short list by price, from an ₹878 dorm bed on Church Street to ₹24,500 a night at the Oberoi, with the distance from the venue beside each one, plus Indiranagar on the metro and what to check before booking a flat. Prices are for the night of Saturday 21 November, read on 23 October 2026, and they move, so price your own dates.
Sunday 22 NovSJBHS, Museum Road
A dorm bed or the Oberoi, both a walk from the venue.
The main day, Sunday 22 November, is at St Joseph’s Boys’ High School on Museum Road, inside the block that MG Road, Brigade Road, Church Street and Residency Road draw around it. That puts a good share of central Bengaluru’s hotels within a walk.
Below: a short list, dearest first, with how far each one is from the venue.

Prices are the lowest Booking.com showed on 23 October 2026 for the night of Saturday 21 November, one adult. Where a place had no rate for that night, the figure is from our 21 September 2026 check and says Sep rate. Read them as a ranking, not a quote: November is wedding and conference season. Every name opens in Google Maps.
01 / 05
Top end
The Ritz-Carlton is the shortest walk of the six. The Oberoi and the Taj sit at the Trinity end of MG Road, which is one metro stop rather than a walk if it rains.
02 / 05
Upper middle
Four big hotels. The Chancery Pavilion, on Residency Road, is the shortest walk of them.
03 / 05
Middle
St. Mark’s and the Grand Magrath are both half a kilometre out, about ten minutes on foot.

Cheap and close
Nahar Heritage had the cheapest private room this close to the venue in September, and the widest spread between sites: ₹1,400 on one, three times that on another, for the same week.

Dorm beds
Prices are per dorm bed. Bangalore YWCA on Infantry Road, 0.9 km out, takes women guests and is worth a call if both of these are full.
On the metro
Stay further out, ride one line in.

The venue’s station is MG Road on the Purple Line, 0.5 km on foot. Anywhere on the Purple Line works: ride in to MG Road and walk.
Indiranagar is the obvious pick. It is 3.9 km east with its own station, busy and lit late, and cheaper than the centre for what you get. Reckon on 25 to 30 minutes door to door, both walks included.

Ulsoor and Trinity
One stop closer than Indiranagar, by the Oberoi and Taj end of MG Road.
Vasanth Nagar
With Cunningham Road, behind Cubbon Park station. Quieter, and a 15-minute walk in through the park.
Koramangala
On most Bengaluru stay lists, and the one to skip this weekend: no metro, and 8 km out, so every trip in is by road.
Signed up for Contributor Day? Saturday is at Bangalore International Centre in Domlur, about 2 km on from Indiranagar station, so Indiranagar suits both days. Separate sign-up, limited seats.
Flats
For three nights or more, or a group splitting one.
// serviced_apartments
Five blocks inside 1.2 km. Rates depend on length of stay, so ask them directly rather than booking through a travel site.

Search MG Road, Bengaluru and drag the map over Ashok Nagar, Richmond Town and Langford Town. Entire flats there were mostly ₹4,000 to ₹7,000 a night when we looked in September, studios below that.
Four things to check before you book a flat
01
Ask if the society clears guests
Many apartment complexes restrict or charge for short lets, and the host does not always say so.
02
Photo ID for everyone
Hosts are required to see photo ID for every guest.
03
Form C, if you are not Indian
The host has to file Form C with the police for a foreign national. Confirm they have done it before, or take a hotel.
04
A self check-in
A host who wants to hand over the keys in person is no use when your train gets in at 2am.
Before you book
Four things worth knowing.
Price your own dates
These are Saturday-night prices from 23 October 2026. Check your own nights before you decide, especially if you are staying Friday too.
No booking links
The cheapest channel for a room changes week to week, so a link pasted now is wrong by November. Every name is searchable on Maps and on any travel site.
No arrangement
We have no rate codes, no commission and no block booking with any of these places. Check them yourself before you pay.
Coming by train
Bengaluru Cantonment is 2.5 km from the venue, a ten-minute auto ride. Book it if your train stops there, KSR Bengaluru City otherwise.
