This is the most common idea on AMS prevention , and I feel this is at best a misconception : some headaches go away after increasing water intake , but this does not mean that drastic increases is a cure against AMS. You will notice that it is not an advice repeated by the medically trained , in fact for example The Himalayan Rescue Association specifically warns against this strategy :
"Adequate amounts of fluid (about 3 liters a day) are necessary in the mountains: dehydration mimics altitude sickness and may even predispose to it. On the other hand excessive water drinking should also be avoided as this may lead to electrolyte imbalances."

Bangalore hotels are probably most expensive. I am really not aware of particular hotels in contonment, but there would be many in the range you mentioned around Bangalore City Railway station (Majestic, Gandhinagar area about 4-5 kms from Contonment station). You can make your choice at http://www.makemytrip.co.in/makemytrip/Hotels. Good thing is you can book online through credit card without any hassles. I usually use this site whenever I need to book in unknown cities. Hope it helps.
