Old, rundown, hidden fees, unhelpful staff
Stayed there for a few days with my family, booked through Expedia. Was surprised to learn upon check-in of an undisclosed yet compulsory fee of Rs. 2000 per person for a New Years party I didn't plan to attend as I have small kids. Complained, at least got the kids removed from the fees, then every time I came or went from the hotel the staff harassed me for the fee. The hotel itself is quite dated and old, food for breakfast is only so-so, pool is absolutely freezing cold with no indoor entertainment options for children, etc. Internet is SLOW and costs Rs. 500 for 24 hours. Asked at front desk for help finding a few sights to see Mysore and was given completely incorrect information about where to go and what to see, leaving me lost in the city. Booked a car through travel desk and it was quite expensive for the short drive we took. Overall, I would have let everything go if staff had not been so insistent or rude about the compulsory heavy fee that was not disclosed at time of booking. In the end, we went to the party, and it was very boring. In general, recommend saving your money and stay somewhere else!!

The best of Mysore - A+ Service really enjoyed
Make sure you get the Premier Room, as these rooms are nicer and well worth the little extra. Service was of a 5 star hotel - everyone was nice and very professional. At checkin we were given cranberry juice and a very nice women waked us around the hotel and showed us to our room and refused to take a tip. Wow! A+ We stayed on the 4 floor and water pressure was not good, but not a big deal for me. The room was clean, great price, central located. great breakfast buffet. No issues would stay again.

Disappointing
The impression online and on visiting is totally different; the room smelt of urine so we asked to change - which they did straight away and the service was very good. I saw 3 rooms, all of which looked very tired, especially the bathrooms which were closer to 2* and were really shabby. In my opinion, this isn't close to a 4* hotel and I'd urge people not to expect it. That said, we were in the 'executive' room which isn't the most expensive type, so these may be better. Breakfast was okay, plenty of choice and again, service good. Get a sense that this was once a far better hotel, pity but wouldn't go here again.

Ideal Base for Sightseeing
The hotel is in an ideal position for tourists - just ten mins walk from the Palace, which is the major sight in the city. (Try to be in Mysore on a Sunday so you can see the palace lit up from 7-8 pm; it's very impressive). Our bedroom was large, comfortable, well furnished with a nice shower room. The staff are friendly, attentive and prompt in attending to queries or needs. The buffet dinner is good value, tasty and plentiful (as usual get in early to avoid that "remainder/warm" problem that always comes with buffets). You can eat by the large and attractive pool, which would be lovely, but the lighting is by candles and a bit "dim/romantic", which is strange as they have a massive sports TV screen playing. Overall, a good place to stay in Mysore which I would recommend to friends.

Good Location but hotel not worth the price
Hotel Sandesh was very near to main city, but surrounding area was pathetic. Towels were clean but it seems, these were used for many years and were not up to the mark. Dustbin was lousy, tea cups were not clean. Quality of furniture is dated...could be 15years old, needs replacement. Mini bar was there, but refrigerator was not working. Food was good though, by the pool. I would't recommend this hotel for person looking for a 3/4 star property. This is at best 1.5 to a 2 star rated property.

Memorable Stay at affordable price
I had a wonderful stay in this hotel last weekend. I found it was not very expensive in comparison to the services they offered. My 9 year old daughter was comparing this hotel with the ones in USA. I got a good deal when I booked online with Expedia. Last but not the least we loved the complimentary B'fast where we had options galore both continental as well as Indian. Would sure visit this again very soon.

Everybody at the hotel was very friendly and very helpful. If there was anything we needed (e.g. internet cable, location of a pharmacy, arrangement of travel, good places to sight see) they were willing to help. The place was very neat and tidy and the rooms were kept very clean. The hotel itself was very nice. They have wi-fi; however, it is a bit slow. If the slowness is a problem, though, you can just go down to internet cafe near the lobby. The hotel is also within walking distance to Mysore Palace, and is very close to the Devaraja Market. It is also a short distance to Chamundi Hills, the zoo, and many other beautiful places to visit. The hotel is also reasonably priced. I would certainly stay here again and recommend the hotel to others.

avoid if looking for a star hotel experience
this hotel lacks the basic ethics of a star hotel . the reception does not know whether you have prepaid the room tariff or yet to do so. i asked a steward how far drc cinema's is from the hotel and the blunt reply is " i don't know , i am not a local ". instead of finding out and info me. i asked the currency dealing desk for a change for rs 500. answer was no change. i wanted to speak to the lobby manager mr jerry or jaibir as heard on telephone on the services aspect . they charge rs 33 for a local call because manager was out of the hotel. only on protest they waived the call charge. The smart card for openning the door doesn't work in the first go . only on repeated trials it works not before your irritation has reached the thresh hold. the lifts are also controlled by the smart card . so same persistant problem of getting to operate the lift with the smart card.The interiors of the hotel are good. food is average. services of the staff is pathetic.rooms are clean but the mattress was sagging. there was block booking on the day we stayed 24 mar -26 mar 2012. those people thought they owned the hotel and were disturbing other guest . when i complained to the lobby manager about the disturbance he was not even apologetical. just avoid this hotel. there must be better choices i'm sure.

l'hotel idéal pour des visites à pied.
Un bel hotel a deux pas du palace. très bien situé, tres confortable. Légèrement bruyant pour les chambres côté rue. Service de qualité et accueil identique. Nous y reviendrons avec des groupes sans hésitation, un magnifique hôtel dans Mysore.

Hôtel très bien situé dans Mysore mais par conséquent assez bruyant. Les chambres sont propres malgré leur aspect vieillissant. Le service est correct, le repas du restaurant "the castle" sont très bons mais là accord le décor manque de fraîcheur..le seul bémol : le petit déjeuner pour les touristes qui souhaitent un déjeuner continental, manque de variété, le pain n'est pas bon, les gâteaux sont fades...

Hotel conventionnel propre et pratique
Les chambres sont propres et grandes pour un prix abordable. Demander une chambre qui ne soit pas à proximité de la machinerie de l'ascenceur. La piscine semble plutot propre, nous avons d'ailleurs été déçus de ne pas pouvoir en profiter (nous avons séjourné dans l'hotel pendant les 2 jours d'entretien, la piscine était donc fermée!)

安心して泊まれるホテル
清潔であり装飾も落ち着いた雰囲気の比較的良いホテルであるが、シャワーがぬるいお湯しか出ない時間帯があったり、道案内を聞いてもスタッフの対応がいい加減なところがあったりする。いくつか細かいところに目を瞑れば、安心して泊まれるホテル。

Sandesh in Mysore
Das Hotel Sandesh the Prince ist sehr zentral in Mysore und nahe am Busbahnhof und am wunderschönen Mysore Palace (Sonntagabends illuminiert) gelegen. Auch zu den Markets ist es nicht weit. Das Personal im Hotel ist freundlich und Kundenorientiert. Ein gutes Frühstücksbuffet (indisch und conitnental) lässt den Tag gut beginnen. Der Swimming Pool dient besonders in der heißen Zeit zu einer entspannenden Abkühlung. Ich würde wieder dort übernachten.

マイソールパレスが近くて エントランスがとてもきれいなホテル
エントランスはとても良かった。 エレベーターを乗る時自分のカードキーを差し込むのですが、差し込んでもコネクトできなくて なかなか動かなかった。ホテルの人を何回もよんだ。 ホテルは少し古いけど部屋はとてもきれいで、バスルームは普通。ホテルの中も部屋もいい香り。 マイソールパレスはすぐ近い。 ホテルにあるアールユーベータはそんなに高くなくて結構予約が入っていた。 ホテルの人たちはとても親切でした。 朝食のビュッフェはとても美味しかった。
