I live near Manipal Hospital in Bangalore and had to stay with a friend in there, thrice in last 6-7 months. Maybe he likes it there too and I often go to their cafeteria(outside) which is cheap and good.
I meet so many foreigners here. I've talked to them; they simply say it's very good - service, expertise - and it's a f*ing loot! And no, this is no such no-frills hospital. So, if you are from a western country and earning even decent money then you are welcome to India and any hospital/hotel/place might make you feel like royalty - mostly without compromising in quality.
As others pointed out, this medical tourism niche definitely exists and so does dental tourism. Getting a root canal while taking a mexican or thai vacation.
