“Beautiful and Historic.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

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

“A pleasant day in Mysore.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2013

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

“An absolute let down, one of our worst stays so far”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

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

“the best food in town Metropole Restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

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.
