We had a lovely stay at Pai Vista Hotel. Everything was clean, well kept and reasonably priced. The food was good, and we loved the jungle-themed restaurant. The hotel serves alcohol as well, and we really enjoyed having our steak with a bottle of wine! For those interested in jewelry and handicrafts, there are some shops on the ground floor, and if you run out of money, no worries! There is an ATM just outside the hotel. From the train station to the hotel we paid Rs. 16/-, from the hotel to the Mysore Palace, we paid Rs. 20/- and for a tour of the city, we paid Rs. 50/-. There is a nice Ayurvedic Spa on the top floor, and a small rooftop pool for cooling off. We would definitely recommend the hotel, and at our next visit to Mysore, we will stay there again.
