2/10 Poor

For the rating and the their charges, the property was way below expectations. Even hotels with no star rating would keep it cleaner. Disappointed
Anant, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place!

It was an amazing experience all made possible by the kind Accommodations Manager Mr. Ashok N, the GM Mr. Vishal Srivastava and the Executive Chef Mr.Tapan Sahoo. They were very courteous and warm. The room was spacious and well lit. The ambience and surroundings were peaceful and lush green. The guided Nature Walk led by Mr. Muniswamy was educative and interesting. The food was very good. Overall, a truly five star experience in the bustling Madurai City!

Sublime colonial elegance

This is a luxury destination for a colonial era. We were fortunate enough to stay in the main house, which was simply sublime. I would not hesitate to stay here again. We did not want to leave
Martin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place of peace away from the noise and dust of Madurai, yet close enough to access everything in town. Great views of the town from the hotel alongside a diversity of birds, trees and natural life. Staff are the best at all levels. We loved all of it.

Super hotel

We had a great stay here. The location on the hill is wonderful great views to the temples. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Our room was clean and very well supplied. My only critique....need new tips on the snooker que!! Otherwise a great hotel
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was super friendly. They helped with local travel and commute. Property is unique, quiet and serene, one with nature. Pandian, Ram, Sudipto were specifically super helpful. They made us feel like home. Paid attention to every detail and provided excellent recommendation. Food and Breakfast buffet were amazing.
Bhumika, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay with the nature

The over all property was very good. Big sized room. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. Lots and lots of peacocks offering a wonderful sight as well as lots of photo taking opportunities. However, the bathroom and its fittings were outdated and badly need renovation.
RAM, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very disappointed for a Taj Group property! My group check in was the worst, very slow and disorganised. Actually embarrassing in front of my group. No welcome drinks, I had to ask. I emailed all passports and room requirements in advance, but still the twin rooms were not prepared, no one seemed to know who was in charge. We kept getting different information from different staff members. Had to ask for the tennis court to be cleared of debris! Very poor or no tennis equipment, some rackets and tennis balls are not much to ask for in a five star property. Will not stay again
Jane, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Peaceful resort like atmosphere. But room service staff do not understand English and fail to deliver your food order. 👎
Shanmugavel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Madurai’s hidden gem

As always a memorable stay made possible by a professional team headed by a GM who leaves no stone unturned to ensure that each guest feels like he is returning home. The renovations that are taking shape are changing the character of the hotel by modernising it but retaining the heritage aspect of the property.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old colonial style property on the top of a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding area. Very comfortable and clean rooms, nice pool area, large well-kept grounds with tame peacocks everywhere. The one restaurant serves great food with very attentive and friendly staff. They did fail to meet me at the airport, despite written conformation, but they don't lose a star as everything else about the hotel is so delightful. Note that it is on a hill with lots of steps, but I'm 70 and had no difficulties.
Christopher, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I think this is the third time we have stayed in this hotel. Nothing seems to have improved since the first time. The rooms are bare and spartan and need renovation. While I agree that it is a heritage property, the facilities and decor inside the rooms could be improved a lot.

4/10 Fair

The property is amazing but they are ruining the “TAJ”name . The first room they gave us had horrible sewer back up smell and musty odor that made me gag and cough all night and next day we requested a change of room and they did change it which is good but it should not come to that . There was “hair “ in the food. The server had such horrible body odors and sweat smell which was over powering the smell of the food they were serving
radha, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Property is very beautiful and peaceful but rooms are not great very spacious room but not clean bathrooms need renovation. I will not recommend this hotel for elderly people who can’t use stairs because lots of claiming My best impression is all the staffs very pleasant and courteous. Especially Mr. Pandian one of the excellent person who helped us lot my special thanks to him. I will give 5 stars to staffs but management needs to take care of this property. Also please make sure when you hire employees they must speak Tamil In Madurai employees don’t know Tamil? 🤔
