Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The room was large with a separate balcony seating area, clean and comfortable. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to help me navigate through the busy crowds. The location was superb, making it easy to reach top attractions like the zoo and palace. However, the dining experience left much to be desired. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near the clock tower and within walking distance to many attractions like the Mysore Palace. The rooms are spacious with traditional furnishings but could benefit from some additional maintenance. The service is exceptional, especially accommodating special dietary needs like gluten-free options. The dining offers a variety of Western and South Indian choices, though some dishes are mediocre. The hotel's facilities are adequate, and the overall value for money is good.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms, though old-fashioned in a pleasant way, were incredibly comfortable and helped me overcome any jet lag. The staff provided very personal service and were extremely nice. However, there were no specific comments about the pricing or value for money.
