Actually we are on AI 265 which I show direct late morning leaving BLR. Thought the hopper and very short layover was pushing it. Especially since I was unsure whether or not I can check bags through.

If a shower and good undisturbed sleep is not the need of the hour, I would recommend the lounge at the airport.
Edited: looks like the international side lounge has a shower and open 24 hours according to their website -

Understood and thanks for input. May still keep the hotel as arrive 2:20AM and leave 11:45AM but unsure. Sounds as though I will have to gather bags and recheck anyway so that may tip me to the hotel.
