Parklane Hotel

Mysuru (Mysore)


Right in the heart of the city, with most attractions within walking distance, this hotel represents fine value. Decor is over-the-top kitsch, but with its spacious, clean rooms the place is hard to dislike – though the bathrooms need upgrading. The lively open-air restaurant is always buzzing, and there's a small rooftop pool.
