Old charm in modern form
Pros:

The location of the property and the vintage look that it has.

Cons:

Not a dislike but the garden scape inside the property could have been better. That will elevate the look of the already beautiful property.

Pros:

Um lugar autêntico, lindo, confortável e seguro no meio de uma grande cidade. Bem localizada e com fácil acesso à tudo, o que mais me impressionou foi a simpatia do proprietário, um homem muito inteligente e legal com quem você pode contar se precisar de ajuda.

Pros:

The property is spacious and at the right location.

Cons:

I recently stayed at this homestay for a day and was quite disappointed with the overall experience, especially considering the amount charged. While the property is spacious, it lacks basic necessities such as an electric kettle and a functional kitchen. There is no proper dining area —no fan even during the summer—and the lobby was also without a fan, making it uncomfortable.

Cleanliness was another concern. Despite efforts to clean, there were still numerous bugs and insects in the bedding, which was quite unpleasant. Additionally, I was surprised to be asked to pay extra cleaning charges even though we had ensured the place was left thoroughly clean.

Overall, the stay did not feel worth the price paid and could benefit from significant improvements in basic amenities and hygiene standards.

Heritage house in the city!
Pros:

A charming historical building with a garden.
Not far from city center, easy to go around!

Cons:

The house is not isolated from the noisy city. But you're in an indian city, right?
Breakfast is bit overpriced, even though it's delicious.

Pros:

I had a restful sleep at Hampe's Heritage Home and in the morning I woke-up gently amongst the the birds chirping around. Had a great morning walk around Kukkarahalli Lake and wonderful breakfast at Mahesh Prasad. Came back to Hampe's home and spent some time sitting on the aged wooden bench listening to the quite chorus of sparrows. Its a place where one can cherish childhood days...

If you are looking at what money can't buy - this is a reminder :) A treasure to walk into!
Pros:

Such old homes are precious as it reminds us about our culture and the hosts who own the home are extremely warm. Its a joy to see how its so well preserved and celebrated by the owners still making it a beautiful living space. The architecture, the greenery, the cleanliness, the warmth and transparency of the owners made it a special short get away.

A humble heritage home experience
Pros:

Beautiful heritage bungalow tucked away in the heart of Mysore city with a beautiful garden. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Mysuru town. With only 3 spacious rooms, it is ideal for a large group of friends or family. While the owner stays on the property, you’ll barely hear a peep. So those who like privacy and quiet will like it.

Cons:

The cost per night seemed a bit expensive for a non AC room in a home stay. The food menu is expensive as well, so best go out or order in from restaurants nearby.

Over priced , WAY TOO OVERPRICED ROOMS + RUDE HOST
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This 'homestay' is way too overpriced.
And the hosts are RUDE.
At Rs.5700 per night you get a room. And that is all you get: A ROOM.
NO Electric Kettle (Coffee maker)
NO Geyser in the bathroom. (Even lodges charging Rs.2000--3000 provide a geyser these days)
NO Lights. Out of the 5 bulbs in my room only ONE was working. Forget reading-- you can't even decently put on make-up in that kind of DIM light.
NO complimentary breakfast.
NO Housekeeping.
The 'Host' wanted to know when I would return and at what time......... When I tried to explain that I was in Mysore to attend a wedding; and hence could not tell him the exact time of return, his rude response was 'That's Not My Problem'.
Insisted on knowing at what time I would return because, 'I have to be at home'.
Guy -- IF your personal schedule is sooo important to you DON'T RUN A BUSINESS.
If you are willing to spend Rs.5700 per night, then just go one kilometre down the road and take a room at Royal Metropole or Southern Star. You will get a good room + plus ALL THE AMENITIES + A 24 HOUR FRONT DESK instead of a gate that closes at 10.30 pm.

Rude host and property in terrible state
Pros:

The location was good.
It was quite central and within 10 min drive of Mysore palace and zoo

Cons:

For the rate charged, we were expecting well maintained rooms, but they were worse than a 1 star hotel. There were mosquitos in the rooms, and different bugs continuously falling on the bed. The property was not at all well maintained, whis was clear not only from the room and bathrooms, but also with the "garden", full of dying plants and weeds.

Worst of all was the attitude of the owner, dismissing all the above concerns by claiming that we should have expected such a bad experience as we booked a "heritage property"

Not at all recommended for anyone, expecially if travelling with children.

An altogether interesting and pleasing homestay.
Pros:

Suresh and his wife have restored and modernised this fine old house but without losing its traditional style and furnishing. Bathrooms have fine stone and marble floors and surfaces.
We so enjoyed the atmosphere and the bird life in the surrounding garden.
The home cooked meals were simple and delicious, served for us on the terrace.
It was a p

Cons:

It was a little noisy as it was the Republican Day festival.

The house is beautiful and very unique.
Rooms were large. Location was fairly central for a city, only a short uber from the main sites.

Cons:

Beds were quite firm for our taste.

A lovely heritage homestay.
Pros:

This is a really special place to stay in Mysore. A beautiful old house, sensitively restored. It’s been in the same family for three generations and one feels like a guest not a customer. Excellent home-made breakfast, super-hospitable host, a tranquil home in a lovely city. We hope to return.

Cons:

Nothing

An authentic oasis of peace and beauty in the heart of Mysore.
Pros:

Soulful, very clean, spacious, very comfortable bed, great location. An authentic experience of stepping into the days of old in Mysore. It’s a family home, going back generations, beautifully restored and cared for.

Suresh and his wife cook the most delicious, healthy local vegetarian food, prepared with all their heart and served with kindness and graciousness.

They were extremely attentive and responsive to our needs, going above and beyond the call of duty to care for us. They treated us like family. We will never forget and for sure will be back. Thank you so much and see you next year.

Everything, peaceful location, lovely historic and authentic feel to the property, great host and stunning homemade food. I felt most at home sitting on the veranda.

Pros:

We absolutely adored this authentic house, carefully restored in one of the central districts of Mysore. Our spacious comfortable room had all we might have needed. We started a day with tasty breakfast with traditional dishes, fruits and excellent coffee. We had dinner prepared for us by the host one night - still remember the excellent taste of south Indian cuisine. Thank you for the hospitality, interesting conversations and helpful advice. We stayed here four nights and would be glad to return one day
