The receptionist at Hotel Roopa looked confused when I asked about WiFi password – “Sir, it’s been ‘hotelroopa123’ for 3 years, we never change it.” After speed-testing WiFi at 40+ Mysuru hotels and checking if “free parking” actually means free, here’s where you won’t pay extra for basic necessities.

100 Mbps dedicated line, separate network for each floor. Password changes daily but works instantly. Video calls no problem from rooms. Lobby WiFi different network, equally fast. IT support fixes issues within 10 minutes. Streaming works on 3 devices simultaneously. Best WiFi in Mysuru, period. Parking: Valet service free, basement parking for 150 cars.
