The Property — Green wood inn
Green Wood Inn is a reliable 3-star business hotel on Mysuru's Ring Road, a 10-minute auto ride from the palace. The lobby is clean and functional, with polished granite floors and a small seating area, appealing to budget-conscious travellers and families who want a quiet base without frills. A USP is its multicuisine restaurant, Spice Route, which serves solid Karnataka-style thalis. It suits those who prefer practicality over character.
Chronicles of Mysuru
Mysuru, formerly Mysore, was the capital of the Wodeyar dynasty from 1399, reaching architectural and cultural zenith under Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV (1894–1940). The city's identity is defined by its Indo-Saracenic landmarks—chief among them the Amba Vilas Palace, completed in 1912—and its silk-weaving and sandalwood traditions. British influence blended with local patronage created a planned city of broad avenues and public gardens, including the Brindavan Gardens. Today, Mysuru balances its royal heritage with a growing IT and education sector, while retaining a slower pace than Bengaluru. The Dasara festival remains its grandest public expression, drawing visitors from across India.
Best Time to Visit
Full Mysuru guide →Best months
October and November, when the monsoon recedes, the city is lush, and Dasara (Sept-Oct) crowds have thinned. February and March also offer clear skies and comfortable temperatures before summer heat builds.
Peak / festival surge
October (especially Dasara week) and December (Christmas/New Year) see maximum occupancy. Hotel prices at mid-range properties like Green Wood Inn can rise 30-50% over these periods. Dasara itself fills all accommodation from mid-October to early November.
Budget shoulder season
July-August is a budget-friendly shoulder period: monsoon brings rain but discounts are common, and the city is greener. January also gives mild weather and lower rates after the holiday rush.
Weather & packing
Mysuru's weather in mid-July is warm (25-30°C) with frequent short, heavy downpours. Pack a compact umbrella or light rain jacket and quick-dry footwear; avoid cotton unless you're fine with damp clothes between storms.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Green wood inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard rather than the street. These upper floors are above the lift mechanism and get less foot traffic, with a quieter outlook over the hotel's garden area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or the small dining area at the front; they suffer from hallway noise and early morning kitchen clatter. Also avoid rooms directly above any open-air restaurant terrace, if present, as late-night chatter can carry.
Best views
The best view is from a 4th-floor rear facing room: you can see the neighbouring heritage bungalows and the Chamundi Hills silhouette in the distance, not just the car park.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest — furthest from the street, the lift lobby, and the service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a main road in a busy part of Mysuru — expect constant auto-rickshaw and two-wheeler traffic from early morning until late evening. The lift is positioned near the central staircase, so doors opening/closing can be heard on nearby rooms.
Insider tips
1. Park in the secured lot behind the hotel — it's safer than leaving your car on the street. 2. Request a room with a window that opens (most rooms have sealed windows) — fresh air helps with the occasional musty smell in monsoon season.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
