Will definitely be staying at this hotel whenever we visit Mysore.

Pros: The location was perfect. The rooms were very spacious and the bathrooms was upgraded with all luxurious modern facilities. Dinner was scrumptious and breakfast was really good with a big buffet spread and live counters. The staff were very warm and friendly. Overall experience was great.

A wonderful hotel in a great location to see the sights of Mysore.

Pros: We loved the hotel. We were in the Royal Maharaja Suite which had a wonderful Jacuzzi. The restaurant was excellent, tasty food and a great choice for breakfast. We also had the high tea served in the rear courtyard which was wonderful. The balcony overlooked the garden and swimming pool which was pleasant.

Cons: Nothing.

Peter 8/10

Belgium 🇧🇪

Very charmant place but a bit overpriced.

Pros: The building is really terrific, oozing colonial charm. On the edge of the city centre and just a short walk from the trainstation. The rooms are large, and stylish. Bathrooms are up to date. The staff is very friendly,

Cons: The place has the looks AND the prices of a 5 star hotel, but not the organisation or finesses. We enjoyed our stay but there is a lot of room for improvement. Not many breakfast options and the coffeemachine was placed rather odd in a corner, with just china cups and no saucers. The advertised High Tea at 4pm was just a pot of free tea and some dry cookies. And the swimming pool area felt a bit neglected. My stretcher was broken, the pool guy took a quick look, tried to fix the backrest and then left. 5 minutes later the backrest fell again. No wonder, the hinges were broken. We. had to explicitly ask for towels. All minor problems but they do add up.
