Efkay's is an ancestral home set on the outskirts of Mysore. Located just a couple of kilometres away from the palace in a quiet residential area, it is still conveniently located for accessing the city sights. The guest rooms are extremely spacious with ensuite and come with their own dressing rooms.

Rooms
Being a family home, the property has three spacious rooms, traditionally furnished with interesting décor throughout each room with lots of ‘nick naks’ and unique collections.
Location
Nestled amongst hundreds of trees and set on three acres of land situated in the very heart of the old Mysuru (Mysore) city, it is the perfect launch pad to explore the city sights and it is surrounds and yet it offers a tranquil refuge from the urban buzz to relax and recoup.
Food and drink
One of the highlights of Efkay’s is their delicious home cooked meals. Meals are served in the dining area and are a mixture of Indian and European, the chef can cater for all tastes and your preferences and preferred spice levels will be discussed with you upon arrival. All staff are local to the area and Ekfay's make all efforts to use local produce, both in the kitchen and in their housekeeping.
Facilities and activities
Although this is a hosted experience, Jyotsna and Raian appreciate and know what it takes to make each guest feel welcome and comfortable in their home and therefore are not overbearing. However, they are always happy to look after your needs and guide you on everything Mysuru — what to see and where to eat. Other facilities include a swimming pool with loungers and a well-stocked bar.
