Green Hotel in Mysore, India
The Chittaranjan Palace, built for Mysore's princesses, has been lovingly restored as a small hotel. In extensive gardens, with formal lawns and shaded pergolas, and fringed by majestic trees, the hotel has been renovated and furnished using traditional Indian crafts.
The gardens are large and provide peaceful relaxation. The hotel has won the Mysore Horticultural Society first prize for the best garden and for the Rose Garden, and for the display of potted plants.
Because of the excellent climate, guests spend most of the day in the garden, on the lawns, or, for those in the Garden Block, on the terrace outside their rooms.
Hotel does not have air-conditioned rooms, TV or generators because of environmentally friendly policies. However the hotel is very airy and well ventilated, all the rooms have fans, and the temperatures in Mysore make air conditioning largely unneccesary. Hotel offers spacious, soothing lawns and shady trees to recline under.
Mysore provides an excellent base from which to tour South India. The Western Ghats, the coffee plantations of Coorg, the game reserves of the Nilgris and the Ooty hill station are all within a few hours drive.
User reviews:
| We spent four days in The Green Hotel Mysore. Our suite room was on the first floor in the garden wing. It was large and airy with a separate sitting room and a huge bathroom. Very clean. There is a long balcony along the first floor with wicker chairs. Sitting outside in the evenings was a bit like being on the deck of a liner. We paid a total of £170 for 4 nights. It would have cost double this amount for just one night in the 5 star palace in Mysore. We ate in the garden every night. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Service was very friendly. The only downsides were the bed - a bit on the hard side, and the location - about 5 km from the centre so we needed to get taxis - but the trip was usually less than 100 rupees return. The hotel is run as a charity, it is environmentally concious and many of the staff are from low caste families who would normally have trouble getting jobs in the tourist sector. Mysore is a lovely city and worth spending a few days to explore. |
| We stayed at the green hotel for 2 nights this month and had an excellent time! The grounds are a delight, kept so by a band of keen hard working staff, the food was excellent - served by courteous, friendly staff and the room (garden suite) was great - clean and had all we needed. The staff were without exception friendly, helpful and hard working. Their green uniforms were well kept and the management should be proud of them. I had read a negative review on this site prior to staying and had some apprehensions but would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. I believe the negative views - particularly related to staff - say more about the reviewer than the place itself. |
| The Green Hotel in Mysore is based on an environmentally friendly premise, with all profits going back to the staff and the local community at large. A former palace/film studio - take your pick, it provided a beautiful and relaxed setting for three days of our honeymoon in India. As a result my wife and I shared the Honeymoon Suite, complete with rose petals on the sheets - which was a nice touch. The food was also lovely with a wide range of Indian and Western food alike, all served most attentively. Highly recommended |
| An excellent choice and one we recommend without hesitation. The aim of the management is to employ all local labour and they take young people and give them training in the hotel trade. They say that all profits are ploughed back into the local economy. The hotel uses the minimum of energy which means that there is no air conditioning but all rooms have efficient fans. The main part of the hotel is a palace now converted to a hotel. It contains the most expensive rooms, all full of character. Staff are helpful, as is the travel desk. There are cheaper rooms in a new block, The whole place is furnished tto a high standard. Eating, with an excellent restaraunt, is done out in the extensive gardens, a most pleasant experience. There iare undercover facilities should it rain. The whole place is of a very elegant and high standard. Not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for. Rooms vary between Rs2500 - 5000. |
| This is a lovely unpretentious little hotel with a lovely restaurant, friendly staff and a flexible approach to service. We enjoyed our stay here immensely and would gladly come again. If you need a rickshaw driver, ask for Shiva at the front gate. He has a great sense of humour and was happy to spend the whole day with us - visiting the major sites. Highly recommended. |
| If I had read some of the guff about how ecologically sound the Green Hotel is before I had arrived, rather than when I was there, I’d never have gone ! But luckily most of the ecologically sound stuff is in the background and what one sees is a spacious old white-washed building sitting in a colourful flower-filled garden in which one can eat excellent food. The hotel is unusual for India in that it’s small, reasonably high quality and not too expensive for an independent traveller to stay in (although it is way too expensive for ‘backpackers’ travelling on a tight budget). It’s not really a palace though, only a large suburban house once home to a couple of princesses. There are many good points, in addition to the underlying ethos, but some other things are less good: despite the house being spacious, most of this space is given over to (little used) public rooms and the bedrooms are all fitted into a narrow space at the back. Mine, the Small Bollywood was so minute that bags had to go on the bed to be opened and then stored, on their side, on the floor. There were some coat-hangers against the wall but no wardrobe, cupboard or even a chair to sit on. The Large Bollywood was about twice the size – longer but no wider – and far more expensive. I saw a suite, even longer, but again no wider. The furnishings were fine, if not quite of Bollywood extravagance, and the bowl of rose petals a good touch, however the bed had a thin mattress on a solid board and was exceptionally uncomfortable. Cheaper, and larger, rooms are available in the grey motel-style annex incongruously overlooking the beautiful garden. These are utterly without charm. As mentioned, the garden is well maintained, again though there is a catch: the hotel is by the side of a busy main road leading to Mysore and there is a constant roar of traffic, so it’s not somewhere to sit, relax and read a book. The food though was impressive and very reasonably priced. I had been told I could only stay one night as the hotel was full so arranged to go to the Lalitha Mahal the next day. Although a room in the ‘motel annex’ became available, I went anyway and am glad I did. The Lalitha is more comfortable and while not perfect it is very peaceful. |
| I was on my way to ooty while I stayed at this hotel few days back.And to tell you frankly it was not as good as some of the other reviews suggest here. I took a room in the garden and not the Palace one (which might be a bit better). For Europeans and Americans the garden and sunbath is more important, for me being an indian I would have preferred a better room facilities than the garden (for the 2400 Rs that I was paying).. The Room Water flask was empty and no water present, the flawerpot had no water and flawers and No TV in the room. The Bathroom is slightly above the Room level and sometimes ur head bumps to the top of the door frame. It rained heavily that evening.. and Water came in from one of the window side :) .. Funny !! The only good thing I found was the next day breakfast but otherwise its not at all worth to stay in the Garden rooms if you dont want to spend time relaxing in the garden sunbathing.. and have plans to just spend a night or two and travel around in the city. While coming back I preferred another hotel Ramanashree near the Mysore Palace and all markets, silk emporiams and even Mysore Palace itself was at walking distance.. even the room was good.. and to my surprice the Room price was bargained and I got almost 30% discount , it hardly cost me 1500 rs for an AC room. I would want you to set priorities and then only go here.. |
| GOOD LOCATION far away from the noisy town , great garden and service , rooms in the modern aisle are overpriced for the quality , rooms are dark and need renovation. rooms in the ancient part are great . restaurant is good and breakfast included is a good value |
| We spent one night in a garden wing room (seeing that the Small Bollywood room reserved was indeed very small but no Bollywood) which was more a kind of junior suite. Indeed, the room is clean and spacey. The staff was not too quick but helped in getting rid of a cockroach in the bathroom - first time this happend on my travels to India in a hotel. Maybe that is what´s called eco-friendly. Beeing without glass windows, the room climate is not too bad, but that means, too, that all the street noise enters the room. So forget about sleeping till ten. All in all, a little overpriced and too much laurels by the Lonely Planet (again). But for a day on a holiday it´s quite o.k. |
| You have 2 possibilities: First one: You want to help outcast people. So take a room in the Green Hotel. You will get a so called “traveller room”, quite similar with one ashram room but much more costly (no donation!). You will be happy to read the moral lesson regarding bargaining in the booklet you will find in your room and for sure you will appreciate a food like everywhere in many hotels in India. If you want to see the “garden” (in pots!) you have to open the door, but take care, your room will become too hot. Or: Before your start your holiday, you may spend some money to any Charity Organisation working in India (like our own school project in Raru, Zanskar) and you book a nice place in Mysore with a better food, a better room, a better view, a better service and a better breakfast for the same money. And you will not to have to hear (from the moral teacher seating at the reception) after complaining about the very hard bed: “You do not pay for the room; you pay for the charity project!” |
| In December 2006, I was booked into the Green Hotel after reading many favorable reviews.Because it was "high season" I had to prepay fully. I was given a tiny, filthy, stuffy back room in the "palace" that might be best described as a cockroach paradise. The desk staff was almost as rude as the dining room staff. The lights in the main lobby went out sometime before midnight and the street noise made sleep impossible. What to do? since I planned to be in Mysore for 3 days. Fortunately, I went on line and booked through Travelocity a room at the Metropole for about $90 USD. Although, the Metropole was a few blocks away, it was a world of difference. The Green Hotel is away from anything interesting. Too far to walk to either shopping or major tourist sites. No restaurants in the area. I cannot imagine recommending this place to anyone. However, a couple whom I met at a spa in Kerala, did book the Green because I mentioned that I would be staying there. They got a room in the newer wing and did not mind it. |
