주위를 둘러보는

🚌
BMTC Local Bus (non-AC, frequent routes via Majestic) ₹10–₹25

Various points in Bangalore – hop on at Majestic Bus Station → Hotel Safina – immediate area (Majestic-Binnypet stretch)

10 min · Every 2–5 minutes on core routes · 5:00am to 11:30pm

💡 For short local trips from Majestic to Hotel Safina, skip the bus – it's a 5-min walk. But if you need to get to neighborhoods like Koramangala or Indiranagar, use routes G-1, 333, or 500. Sit by a window to ask the conductor for your stop; routes can be confusing.

🚌
BMTC Vayu Vajra Airport Bus (KIA-8 or KIA-9) ₹250–₹300

Kempegowda International Airport – Bus bay 1 or 2 → Shivajinagar or Majestic bus stand – walk 10 mins to Hotel Safina

75 min · Every 20–30 minutes · 4:30am to 1:00am

💡 Cheapest airport transfer. Look for the red-and-white AC buses. Get off at Majestic (also called Kempegowda Bus Station) – it’s a 10-minute walk to Hotel Safina but saves haggling. Have small change ready; card machines aren't reliable.

🚗
Namma Metro – Purple Line (Majestic station) ₹30–₹60 (single journey)

Majestic Metro Station (purple/green line junction) → Hotel Safina – 5 min walk from Majestic exit

5 min · Every 4–6 minutes during peak, 8–12 off-peak · 5:00am to 11:00pm

💡 Best for local hops – Majestic station exit 6 (Nagapura side) opens onto the street leading to Hotel Safina. Avoid metro for airport travel directly; use the Vayu Vajra bus + metro combo: bus to Yeshwanthpur, then metro to Majestic.

🚕
Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) to Hotel Safina via Uber/Ola ₹800–₹1,200

Kempegowda International Airport → Hotel Safina – near Majestic/Central Bus Stand

60 min · On demand – available 24/7 · 24/7

💡 Pre-book through the Uber or Ola app before leaving the arrivals hall – avoid touts offering fixed-price taxis. Use the airport’s free Wi-Fi to book. If stuck in peak traffic (8–10am, 5–8pm), the ride can stretch to 90 mins.
