The service was very much based on the guests and not the same across the board. Felt very ignored. Other guests had drinks poured and food served. Ours was just placed on the table for us to serve ourselves. Overall disappointing experience on our first night of a two.night stay.

Mysuru (Mysore), India1 contribution
We hosted our wedding festivities at the Metropole and we were really pleased with how everything was co-ordinated and executed by the hotel staff . The rooms were gorgeous and well maintained, the food was delicious, and the venue was exceptional. The staff were able to cater to out requirements. The restaurant staff were also able to tweak the food to our prefrence for the main events. From our experience the Metropole is an incredible place to host an intimate wedding in Mysore. I'd recommend considering staying at the Metropole if you're visiting Mysore for a short trip or looking to host a wedding.

On first appearance this hotel seemed like a heritage oasis but unfortunately it didn't live up to that. Upon arrival at our room, plastering and painting was happening in the corridor outside of our room which was disconcerting as, when using our bathroom, the workman was outside of our vented window. The room and bedroom were clean and comfortable although the laminate flooring was loose and kept slipping. The bathroom was outdated and the bath stained. You needed to turn the hot water heater on 20 minutes before taking a shower. The second day, after we returned from a busy morning being tourists, we found the corridor covered in rubble, dust, a broken AC unit and loud sounds of drilling and banging from the room next door. A visit to reception assured us it as 'only the air conditioning being mended' which didn't help us. They didn't recognise that the noise and dust was an issue to us as we just wanted a peaceful room to rest in. The male receptionist was very dismissive but eventually agreed to move us to a new room. The female receptionist was far more understanding of our concerns. The new room was large, an upgrade, and immaculate. We found the staff generally poorly trained and, on occasions, rude. Two members of staff stuck out as being way more invested in customer care than others; Junti in the cafe was always smiling and ready to help and Kumar from housekeeping of our second room, who simply couldn't do enough to make up for our room being moved. They were a credit to the hotel chain. On the whole, we wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Royal orchid Metropole Mysore, a 103 year old heritage hotel is recommended for all those who want to enjoy the old world charm in a modern day city setting. A stay in this charming well maintained property that was a Maharaja’s guest house for his elite British guests, can be relaxing and calming. The spacious heritage rooms with private balconies and modern amenities, wooden staircases, antique furniture, classic artefacts and photos of the bygone era and the courteous staff are all aligned to provide a serene experience. It also has facilities like a swimming pool, bar, gym and children’s play area. Savouring a wide range of local and international cuisine and drinks in candle light dinner under a gigantic mango tree is a great way to unwind after a day of work or sightseeing and shopping. If only the huge bathrooms were more modernised, one could end the day with a leisurely soak in the tub.

Beautiful hotel very well located in Mysore. Walking distance from busy streets and market. Beyond the facilities, the service is perfect during and after the stay (we had forgotten things in the room and they were sent to us to our next destination)

The rooms are a bit faded but comfortable. The shower did not work, it was overflowing as soon as water started. Breakfast was good. The fitness center is a small room with non-working equipment. The worst is the level of noise - endless honking 24/7 (street is close), and a disco techno party next to the hotel until past 11pm on saturday. They should alert guests of this, impossible to sleep even with earbuds.

The rooms were very comfortable. the hotel has an old world feel. We used the swimming pool facilities which were clean and the pool was deliciously refreshing. There was a wonderful breakfast buffet that changed every morning with fresh fruit , pastry, yogurt and tradition Indian cuisine. In addition the Masala omelette and the masala dosa made fresh were also delicious. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly.
