La Uppu - Grand Mercure Mysore

My experience during the stat at the hotel and the Food i had at Lauppu

Buffet was very average. I have read reviews of awesome buffet of this hotel but i was disappointed when i had it . Literally 2 or 3 items were saviour. Buffet rush is like crazy for such average taste.

Cocktails from the Bar were ok not great.

What disappointed further was inspite of the room being centrally AC it was crazy hot . I had to ask 2 times if ac was working. I was told because of the crowd but then then the ac needed to be cranked up to make the surroundings cool. U cant enjoy a buffet sweating . Can you believe outside seating was cooler then the ac seating.

Ordered Steam rice and Daal fry/tadka for dad and i was told it wud be made seperately. But it was the same mushy rice and the daal from the buffet. At an exorbitant 700 plus gst for 2 dishes that was not expected.

Dinner cost us almost 5k with cocktails and it was not value for money.

Breakfast was included in our booking. Both days apart from 2 3 items everything was repeated. Scrambled eggs had egg shell in it , juice was tasteless. Sunny side up egg was oily. Ordered but never got the dosa. Getting a seat was tough and it was a chaos during both breakfast and dinner buffets.

Their non veg and veg thali was on the list during our visit as seen and influenced by a huge food blogger but after the 1st night we decided not to have meals in the hotel.

Google says its a 5 star property but the food and arrangements are that of 3 star. May be becos of rush during the long weekend but nevertheless food being the most important part of stay for me and specially booking the room becos of the food review I was very disappointed.
Rooms
.
Room was very small . We were 3 people and booked the room seeing the pics in the website which looked huge. Even for 2 people room was smaller than other star property i stayed in.

For 14k for 2 nights and 3 days i found the deal not value for money. Definitely didnt meet my expectations.

One of the best 5 star hotel in Mysore.. the inner ambience is great and staffs are also friendly.. As per the cost it matches 5star ratings I think so.. For an normal person cost may feel expensive.. but loved it.. ❣

Despite reading several negative reviews, I decided to have breakfast and dinner at this establishment for two days. Unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. The staff frequently forgot our orders, and we had to remind them multiple times. We even had to remind them twice to bring our dosa, which never arrived.

I couldn't help but notice that the staff seemed to prioritize foreign guests, often neglecting local guests like myself.

The breakfast and dinner buffets were average at best and didn't seem to provide good value for money. To make matters worse, some dishes were placed in obscure locations that were easy to miss. The only redeeming aspect was the dessert spread, which I would give a 1-star rating.

However, I'm not sure if the Horlicks Mysore Pak is worth trying, as traditional Mysore Pak is a much better option.

There are plenty of other food options nearby, and I highly recommend exploring them instead, as many of the foreign guests staying at the Grand Mercure seem to do.
