Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, the rooms weren't ready when we checked in after 3 pm, but once settled, I found them to be spacious, clean, and neat, with a city-facing view despite an extra bed. However, some rooms seemed small and dated compared to the newer ones.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and well-equipped rooms at the property, although I did find the lack of privacy in the bathroom a downside. The cleanliness and size of the room were impressive, offering all the basic and additional needs like bathrobes, hangers, bathroom slippers, and even a weighing machine.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the spacious rooms were well-equipped and showcased excellent Tamil hospitality, they were not ready when we arrived after 3 pm, and some felt small for the price paid.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, just 3 KM away from Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple. The rooms are prepared with all necessities and aim at minimizing plastic waste, but they could have been a bit closer to the main area. The service, led by wonderful individuals like Chef Gajendran and Chandramohan, is attentive and caring, making our stay truly enjoyable.
