Royal Orchid Metropole Mysore

Was satisfied with the facilities, hygiene, location, etc.

We LOVED this grand hotel, situated about 15 minutes’ walk from Mysuru Palace. There are signs of its former life as a residence for the Maharajah’s guests everywhere and it was just the most comfortable place in which to base ourselves. We loved being able to walk into the city centre and also to other nearby restaurant and eateries (check our Dosa Point nearby). The décor is stunning, both in the communal areas and the rooms. Our room had a lovely large balcony overlooking the central atrium which was a great spot to sit in a morning and watch the place wake up. We could probably have done without the saxophonist playing there before 8am on morning, however…! Staff were so friendly, always looking out for us and helping with all of our queries, and the restaurant, Tiger Trail, was stunning. We ate there twice in our four-night stay which is rare for us as we like to eat in new places but that’s a testament to how good it was. The room itself was clean and comfortable but the icing on the cake was the stunning swimming pool in the grounds. We enjoyed a couple of relaxing afternoons or early morning swims there – and despite the hotel being on a main road, the grounds are so full of plants and trees that you would never know how close you were to city life. Could have stayed here much longer – it was the ideal choice in Mysuru for us.

This quality of this hotel is not at all commensurate with the quality of the ***y hotels of a similar price in which we have stayed in India and it is difficult to see how it justifies the price. It offers a mixture traditional rooms and modern rooms. The traditional rooms are of a poor standard and require updating, particularly the bathrooms. The newer ‘deluxe’ rooms are of basic quality, quite small. Ours had a damp odour and there was evidence of plumbing and structural problems next to the outside of our door (see photos). The service in the restaurant is appalling. With the exception of one waitress (Bindiya) our requests and those of the other guests had to be followed up several times. Despite this when the bill is presented for signature the waiters stood expectantly waiting for a tip. The outside area lacks charm (see photo) however it is preferable to the dark canteen like dining room where tables are laid from breakfast. ***y guests take food outside, occupying tables that were not laid up, finding their own cutlery to carry ***** with their food. In contrast, the female receptionist was extremely helpful and charming. The only redeeming factor of this hotel.

The hotel is very royal and gives the feel of the royal heritage of Mysore . The staff were extremely professional and were very friendly. The ambience is a sight for the eyes especially in under the evening lights. The service was quick and all the staff services is with a warm smile

Excellent food and service............. Well maintained ambience....... Friendly staff... clean & neat toilets..... Entertainment is also good for kids..... Mr.Naresh in the restaurant is very polite and well behaved with customers... Overall had a very good lunch...

We went metropole last month for business trip, express check in check out was awesome. Newly renovated rooms are very spacious. Staffs are vey attentive and always ready to help. Thank you for the wonderful and memorable service. We love to back again.

Fabulous heritage hotel. Service can be better but we had a great time Nice breakfast spread, we stayed at Maharaja suite and it's a big room, wish there was a welcome food kit. Swimming pool is nice, though not big but it's sufficient and they have a nice bar where service can be improved. Overall wr had a great time.

Great food in a heritage hotel, beautiful garden. Relaxed a**osphere. I had South Indian style shrimps cooked in a banana leaf, with South Indian bread. Service is also highest standard. Literally the best food I had during my stay in India. I will be back.
