I checked in for a night's stay at Royal Orchid Bridhavan om February 3rd 2017. I was accompanied by my wife and 10 year old son. I was in room number 301(left extreme, 3rd floor). I check in around 10:00p. The first trouble started when 5 people came to 302 terrace and started making a lot of notice. From 301 terrace I could see these 5 folks were having booze and were not in control. I waited for 2 hours and since the commotion did not stop till 12:30a, I called the reception and complained. The response was that these folks in 302 were having dinner and if I want the hotel will change my room (around 1:00a in the morning !!).
Next day, when I went to take shower, hot water was not coming. The electrician came and confirmed that the heater coil had been kaput for quite sometime. Again the reception guy said he can change my room but refused to admit that they had rented out the room without even checking if there was running hot water !!
I have stayed at Royal Orchid Brindhavan quite a few times - actually, I have a Royal Orchid Gold membership !!
My observation is this, place (Royal Orchid Brindhavan) is going down in standard.
If you want to stay in Mysore or even near the dam, there are plenty of hotels with a much better service. Stay away from this place - that would be my advise.
