This hotel is so steeped in history! It was fun staying in a heritage hotel that hadn't been "modernized" too much but kept it's ambiance. They had problems with the AC but were able to fix it. The power in Mysore is intermittent due to the drought and the fact that most of Southern India is dependent on hydro-electric power.... More

Mysore has many a times been a stopover on our way to destinations beyond. After having stayed at Royal Orchids Kireeeti at Hampi (on our visit during Diwali) we decided to try Royal Orchids Metropole in Mysore. A beautiful property centrally located, yet gives you the feeling of being in a world of your own. The rooms are comfortable, tastefully... More

We stayed here in Aug 2012 so hopefully things have changed for the better since then. Our stay however was quite a disaster. When we checked into the hotel, a sleepy front desk executive checked us in who also seemed quite disinterested with her job. We had booked one of the higher category of rooms through the internet but were... More

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here, the pool was hardly used but very nice. The food in the restaurant was always good and the service was attentive. We could sit outside in the courtyard or in and we didn't have a problem with Mosquitos which is unusual as they do usually like to bite me. There is a buffet... More

Since I stay in Mysore I don't have much experience on the rooms and stay. The food is the best you can have out here. Even a simple curd rice,the sustaining food of many a south Indian,is great to taste. The service is good.

I had always wanted to stay in a heritage hotel and this being an on-the-fly trip with no prior planning whatsoever, I was very drawn to The Metropole when it showed up online on my 3G amongst the top recommended hotels in Mysore. Though not ultra-huge, it's a lovely place with a very comforting old world elegance. The entrance and... More

A great heritage hotel, had a very pleasant stay with the family. Comfortable rooms, good service and good food. We particularly liked the location. This was our first trip to Mysore, one of the great things about the hotel was it's proximity to two main attractions - the palace and the Zoo. Despite being in such a central location once... More

I enjoyed my visit a lot here, on the first floor it wasn't too noisy. The Maharaja's old guest house apparently, very centrally situated within easy walking distance to many shops, especially clothing. The restaurant was good quality and very inexpensive for hotel food. Very friendly reception, offered to get stamps for my postcards.
