Heritage Madurai

10/10 Excellent

"Great all round,very peaceful place to relax,will visit again"

Gopuram Grand

6/10 Okay

"The hotel overbooked, and this caused a lot of confusion at the time of check-in. They could not find my Expedia booking and hence we had to wait for almost half an hour. Although we had booked a superior triple room, we eventually got a double bed with an extra cot. We managed it in the end, but I would have certainly liked a more hassle-free experience at the hotel. The room was very small for three adults. The bathroom was comparatively bigger, so we had to keep some of our suitcases in the bathroom overnight to ensure there is some space in the room itself. There was no window in the room. All that said, the hotel is conveniently located for temple darshan. Everything was super clean. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and found the food tasty. However, the schezwan fried rice was too hot and spicy."
