Mysore Youth Hostel

Old-school youth hostel with clean, well-maintained male and female dorms. There’s a 10.30pm curfew, lights out at 11pm, no alcohol allowed and hot water via a bucket – but you can’t grumble at these rates. Dinner (₹60) and breakfast (₹50) are available. Take a city bus to Maruthi Temple, from where it’s a short walk; an autorickshaw costs ₹60.
