My stay at monarch was good the staff was really friendly. one incident I recall is when I hadnt carried my lap top charger. one of the staff went out of his way to help me out with the charger and arranged for it. the food was very homely and I especially liked the level of cleanliness of the hotel in general. it has all the bare necessities. The location was one of the most attractive things here. It is located on brigade road. near the old opera theater. opposite nilgiris. all my shopping was so convienient and I had connectivity to all parts of the city through readily available trasport. If you like indian food then this is the place for you. I loved the breakfast buffet spread, It was filling and variety was more than I expected from this small hotel. I do recommened you try the monarch club sandwich. breakfast was complementary. lunch and dinner was on and average working up to Rs. 1000 put together this is because I am a heavy eater. I ordered 4-5 items per meal including dessert.
