A lovely heritable hotel in the middle of Mysore
Pros:

We stayed for 2 nights at The Royal Orchid Hotel.
The location was perfect for us near the train station (we travelled by train from Bangalore), and within walking distance from the old market and Mysore Palace.
The hotel dinner was excellent with many food options to choose from. We had a heritage suite, which was also excellent and refreshed with towels and toiletries several times each day.
All staff were friendly, caring and attentive to our needs. A special thank you to the staff, including: Ravi, Shiva and Narayan to name a few, but really to everyone at the hotel who made our trip so memorable.

Cons:

We rated the hotel an overall eight out of ten because the breakfast was a little disappointing and the complementary high tea turned out to be a free single cup of tea or coffee.

Will definitely be staying at this hotel whenever we visit Mysore.
Pros:

The location was perfect. The rooms were very spacious and the bathrooms was upgraded with all luxurious modern facilities. Dinner was scrumptious and breakfast was really good with a big buffet spread and live counters. The staff were very warm and friendly. Overall experience was great.

A wonderful hotel in a great location to see the sights of Mysore.
Pros:

We loved the hotel. We were in the Royal Maharaja Suite which had a wonderful Jacuzzi. The restaurant was excellent, tasty food and a great choice for breakfast. We also had the high tea served in the rear courtyard which was wonderful. The balcony overlooked the garden and swimming pool which was pleasant.

Cons:

Nothing.
