International Youth Hostel Mysuru

Very hygienic place, good host, clean room you can access the common area its sufficient for 7 people.

Pros: 1. Location: located in the central, well connected, posh, and quiet gokulam neighbourhood, where all the yoga folks are based. Great cafes, restaurants, markets in easy walking distance. 2. Cost: priced well for the facilities provided - modern rooms with en-suite baths, water dispensers and iron boards on each floor, dining, cloak room, bicycle hire, all available. 3. Safety & security: guard on duty 24x7, takes interest and does the job with diligence cons: 1. Maintenance: the bathrooms look like they've never been deep cleaned. Fixtures are poorly maintained. Our bathroom had a massively leaking pipe which on complaining was merely physically manipulated to decrease the leakage without being repaired or even temporarily fixed with a sealant/tape/cloth wrap. 2. Design: the washbasin is outside the bathroom, the order of the shower and toilet are interchanged, there are no hooks on the door to hang clothes, towel rack is placed on the wall adjacent to the commode. 3. Inflexibility: check in (10 am) and checkout (9 am) are inconvenient for most. Breakfast doesn't start until 8:30 am so if you've booked a room with breakfast, and need to start the day early, you'd never be able to catch it. Staff refused to substitute it with tea/coffee and/or snacks in the evening, even though these are served on order at extra cost and that's the time people are more likely to be back in the hostel. If the reception staff takes more interest and is more hospitable, and the rules more traveller friendly, this could be a great place and give the more modern travellers hostel chains and local establishments a run for their money!

Place is average. Service & food was good. Place especially bathrooms need to be much cleaner though.

Rooms were good. Linen was also good and fresh from a wash. Only, the taps in the bathroom were leaking. Food was ok for the price.

Property is old. Decently maintained. Rooms are decently sized. Overall good for a quick night stay. Location wise property is in one of the big residential area of mysore. So access wise it is easy. Food need to be pre-ordered. I could not eat. Place can get swiggy delivery as many food joints are within 1km radius. Overall a good budget stay

Had a nice stay at youth hostel. It’s equipped with all basic amenities. Nothing fancy but peaceful location with nice food. Staff is very cooperative and helpful.
