2/10 Poor
27 December 2023
There was no heat even though the temperature was below 50 degree Fahrenheit. The shower did not work and the food for breakfast had run out. Our rooms had absolutely no windows or sunlight. Badly needs renovation. Most importantly it’s being run with skimpy staff and so no one answered the telephones or took care of you. Sad because bones of property are great.

Externally In bad condition with plaster peeling.
Terrible service. Bad quality food. Despite claims of free wifif in reality wifi available only in restaurant and lobby and so free wifi of no practical use. No activitries or any other services from a tourist point of view.

Superbe hôtel historique...cher sans eau chaude
Les chambres sont magnifiques, l'hôtel est un ancien palais du Maharajah de Mysore. Mais aux prix où la nuit est facturée, il semble inimaginable de ne pas pouvoir se laver à l'eau chaude (au mieux, on pourrait qualifier l'eau obtenue de "non froide", même pas tiède...)

un très grand charme suranné
majesté des bâtiments et charme d'un palais du 19ème siècle. salle de restaurant immense pouvant paraitre lugubre le soir. Bar hors d'usage par défaut de licence. suite rénovée, somptueuse, très grande, avec de très beaux meubles d'époque, donnant une ambiance cosy. le parc est absolument magnifique avec une très belle vue.
