Rooms were very nice and well laid out. Hotel property was an oasis of peace just a few yards from the chaos of the street. Conveniently located for quick (less than 30 minutes) walks to most sites. Handy IDFC ATM about 10 minutes away. Breakfast buffet was first rate. Staff were all top notch.

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Mysore

Hotel Southern Star is a wonderful place to stay while exploring the beautiful city of Mysore. The location is ideal — just a short ride away from all the main attractions, including Mysore Palace, the zoo, and the bustling Devaraja Market. Despite being close to everything, the hotel itself feels like a calm, green oasis in the middle of the city.

The amenities are excellent. There are three restaurants to choose from, each serving delicious food with plenty of variety — from local South Indian dishes to continental options. The swimming pool is well-maintained and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, and the lush garden adds a lovely touch of serenity to the property.

The staff deserve special mention — they are warm, courteous, and always ready to help with a smile. Whether it’s arranging transport, offering local recommendations, or simply making sure you’re comfortable, they go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay.

All in all, Hotel Southern Star combines comfort, great service, and convenience in one of India’s most charming cities. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Mysore!

A nice place to stay, convenient location

Excellent stay. Very good service, particularly from the young lady in the travel office who was so helpful when we were having difficulty booking an Uber.
We had the buffet dinner both nights and felt it good value, with wide range of foods.
There’s a pool, which is nice to sit by and a daily yoga session at 7.30am.
The hotel is also 12 minute walk to the Railway Museum, a peaceful place to spend an hour or so and only 50 R/s. This represents excellent value, particularly when you find the rate for foreigners to visit Mysore palace is now 1000Rs.

Must stay for solo travellers

The service here is amazing, Daniel and Narayan was humble and had provided tremendous service. Daniel helped in suggesting the places to visit around mysuru. Thank you Daniel.
This stay is very accessible to all the attractions in and around mysuru, the breakfast buffet was scrumptious. Being a solo traveller accessiblilty to public transport is very important and we can catch a bus or auto or cab from this hotel.

Give this one a try

Really easy check in and out. Upgraded, so that puts a smile on everything and the room was spacious, great bed, bathroom facilities were great, plenty of strong hot water, quiet, and service was great. One minor problem in the restaurant but it was as much my error as the waiter’s - language misinterpretation. Special mention for Mahadevaswamy who was humbly attentive during our restaurant visits. The grounds are ample, the pool and adjacent restaurant are excellent (enjoyed the live guitar) and the fish spa is a must. Excellent value for money.

Check your bill before you pay it.

Major check in and check out issues.
It took about 30 minutes to check in at this hotel, and when we were checking out we were charged an extra $150USD for a buffet dinner and alcohol that was not ours. They refunded us, but only after watching them try to explain why the bill was correct when it wasn’t. Eventually they found that they charged someone else’s room expenses to our account. Additionally, someone else in our group was told their card would be charged upon checkout, only to find that they DID charge the card during the stay - and then tried to charge again upon check out. So, don’t trust the front desk people, they don’t know up from down.
The bathrooms are dated and leaky. The shower head shoots water all over the ceiling, and water leaks out of the shower and all over the floor.
The food was decent with the highlight being the excellent dining staff who would allow you to order if you missed the buffet window by a few minutes. The dining manager was especially kind and accommodating.
The pool is large and the grounds are beautiful.

Quality of service

We took 2 adjoining rooms. Outside view from the room was good. Air conditioning was good.
cleanliness, wash room were bad. There was no hot water available in wash basin in one of the rooms. A lizard was in the room troubling the family entire night. Shower was fitted with rain shower, but unfortunately shower was hitting Gypsum ceiling and white water with gypsum would fall on head. So a proper shower enjoyment was denied. In-spite of complaint several time to reception, nobody turned up till we left next day. Hotel has no proper maintenance. It is an insult to Guests as even an effort is not made immediately to see / correct the mistakes.

Warning: Under construction!

The hotel is my go-to when in Mysore, but this year, it was a construction zone, including dust, fumes, only one working elevator, pool and shops closed and lots of noise, We left after one night only.
Will try again when it's over because the staff and food are always great.

Very poor service at the counter:
1.Kept interrupting our check in to serve others who showed them something from behind us.
2.When we feedback that the wifi password given to us was not working, we were told over the room phone that we should try again in 5 minutes. After 30 minutes it still did not work. We had to go down to the counter, and looked at them doing it. Then it took less than a minute to fix!!
3.On checking out, we paid them in lots of $100 INR notes. We went out of the hotel, then realized that we needed those notes to pay the trishaw. We came back in and asked them for small change. The guy did not even bother to open the cash drawer where he kept our $100 INR notes earlier, he just said \"no change\".

I used all of the facilities during my stay which made my solo visit very relaxing. I would definitely stay at the Regaalis again if I visit Mysore again.
