Madurai hotels & places to stay

GRT Madurai is awesome! Not only is it our favourite hotel in Madurai but it is also one of our favourites across southern India. Every year my family and I do our annual pilgrimage to Madurai and other locations in South India. The one hotel we never change is GRT Madurai because the rooms are great value for money and the staff is the most courteous and helpful you can find.

It is my 2nd time staying with Heritage Madurai. I was very pleased with this place and I do not see any reason to book other hotels in Madurai. This is the best place. I travelled with my Grandma and the staffs were beyond helpful and sweet. We booked the luxury pool villa. It is just that the insects are alot more when you book the pool villa. Just remember to keep the pool door shut after 4pm. Swimming after 4pm is really not recommended. Other than that, this place is PERFECT! I am looking forward to my next stay in March 2019.

After reading the reviews we decided to try out the Madurai Residency and we weren't disappointed. The rooms were lovely, the service excellent and the position great. Excellent value for money and will defiantly stay again on our next trip to Madurai.

This is an excellent hotel in Madurai. Its close to Meenakshi Amman temple. The rooms were very clean, No smell or stench. The staff is accommodating (we got upgraded room, because of overbooking) The room are very spacious and have all the amenities; Strongly recommend.

It was a really excellent stay at Royal Court, Madurai. The staff and Manager is very good and polite. Breakfast was very good. Room service is fine and good. I always recommends to stay at-least one time in Hotel Royal Court, Madurai if you are planning to visit Madurai. The another best part is its location from Meenakshi Temple and Madurai Railway Station. I wish best for future. 10 point out of 10 point. Good Luck.

most of staff are always smile to you,and ready for help u with everything. Might be the condition here is not like the luxury hotel in the international city,but I like the service they provide for me. Next time come to Madurai,I’ll come to here again. In addition,the breakfast here is quite good,even comparing to the five star hotel all over the world. Thanks for all your surport here.

The hotel was in a quiet street in a pleasant neighbourhood, although quite a way from the centre of the city. On arrival we were given one of the best rooms but had to ask them to change it as there was only one double bed and we needed twin beds as I was travelling with my daughter. The second room was not quite as nice but still more than adequate, being clean and reasonably spacious.

I had a good stay at Astoria and I dont regret choosing this hotel I will surely recommend to all my friends who are visit Madurai India. It is such an awesome place to be at for your comfortable stay. I had a good stay and I remember this hotel. When i go back I will book here again. Thanks

On of the best hotels we stayed during our trip to Tamil NAdu. Good location and friendly staff. Rooms were well equipped and clean. Will return during my next visit to Madurai.

the staff at this stay was excellent . from door man, desk, room cleaners. the staff on our floor were very helpful helped made our stay enjoyable. laundry was affordable ,quick, very clean. morning breakfast was in a good local restaurant across the small street.being westerners a little concerned about food. the staff welcomed us helped with order. food was good quality and they keept topping up our plates, didnt go hungry .coffee and tea kept being offered. every morning same service. thanks to them. the hotel sells water and other drinks at a very cheap price. we all enjoyed our stay, location was the best, walking at night to temple, street shops and friendly people every place in the area. thank you.

Food was very good. Staff were friendly and polite. Compact room. If the flyover wasn't built at the front, the hotel would have been easily accessible. It wasn't difficult though. One of the best at this price.

A very good hotel in Madurai. Went there with family and stayed here. The room was very good.It was clean and with all the required facilities. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The temple is about 1.5 Km from the hotel and one can avail autorikshaws to go the temple. Overall Recommended to stay.

The Hotel is infront of Madurai Jn Railway Station , is very convenient and near to temple which is around km away. The room had AC, geyser facilities, cleanly maintained. Could get tea, water served also inside room . Budget economical decent hotel , surprisingly belonging to Madurai Corporation.

Had a comfortable and relaxing time in the hotel. Breakfast was simple but satisfactory, just nice for us.The pool was good and clean . They even provide arm float for the kids . The staff was friendly and excellent. Equal treatment as well to everyone whether you are VIP or non VIP. Special thanks as well to Mr.Anbu Raj (Pool care taker) and the security guys ( day) for their generous hospitality and warm welcome to the hotel. Looking forward my next stay there when in Madurai

This is a very nice hotel. The room are clean and shower with hot water is marvellous. Located 5 minutes (tuk tuk) from the train station, it is a perfect location. Going the Madurai main temple from there is easy with a tuk tuk. I recommend this very nice hotel.

I was admitted for surgery there post operatively I was staying here and the sfltaff were very helpful getting my request dine very promptly . Especially the Reception dark Indian Chap went more then extra mile .... without any expectations . App staff are polite and very informative .

We selected the hotel as it is the nearest to fulfill the purpose. Rooms are clean and the staffs were friendly and helpful. Hotel was not available for the selected period. Have to go to another hotel for 3 days and come back to same hotel complete our stay. Overall great place and definitely coming back again.

This is a great option for madurai. Three minute walk to the temple. Lots of life right outside the hotel entrance. Our morning chai across the street. Fresh coconuts kitty corner. You can view the action from the rooftop which has laundry lines for drying. Good south india veg breakfast. Plus the room was quiet. Lots of power outages (wecome to india) but they covered this pretty well with their generator.

So worth it for price - bathroom not great and bring your own toilet paper ! Room service amazing because a waiter (I think the guy who runs it) was so Lovely and gave me the best food

Very good restaurant. Helpfull staff. Old hotel that caters to Indian pilgrims. A nice way to better experience Indian way of living and travelling. Can be noisy at times with buses, auto-rickshaws and cars. We enjoyed our stay at a very decent price.

The hotel was great, we stayed in 5 different hotels before Arasan Sapthagiri, and all were so disappointing with various issues. In Hotel Arasan Sapthagiri, the duvet and mattress was open sponge and lots of dust were coming out. Which was a huge disappointment, however the restaurant, staff and rest of the stay was extremely good. I loved it.

The hotel is centrally located near Minakshi Amman Temple. Walkable distance from Temple. Restaurant and eateries are nearby. Staying was good but cleanliness requires more attention specially bed sheets etc. We went there to Madurai for darshan of Minakshi Devi temple & hotel was nearby and stay was overall o.k.

The place was good and staff were pleasant. It is an old building but maintained properly. The price is not so good compared to other newly built hotels at better locations available in Madurai itself. Thus, price wise it cannot be recommended. As we were on a medical trip, most of the time we spent outside and thus, preferred a cheaper hotel.

Rooms are small but well decorated. Our room was at the side of the building but still very noisy at night. (Thanks parking attendant with a whistle.) Breakfast was a bit of a disaster. We had to wait over an hour for the good and a further 10 minutes for coffee (they ended up being the wrong order anyway). However, the hotel has only been open for two months and I'm sure these wrinkles will be ironed out with more experience.

Good budget option with a soft mattress. Located out of town, but good bus options to get into the centre. Good price. Staff were lovely and did the best they could with what they had. Had problems with the room (fan not adjustable, shower head missing, powerpoint broken, holes in window screen). Was moved to different room on request, which resolved fan and powerpoint but still had broken window screen and window latch, the room was hot and noisy (being at the front of the hotel it was west facing onto a major road). No English language stations.

Generally our stay with here was not much problem. Some or. most of staffs here are lack of hospitality to treat custmers better. We stayed 2 nights, the next day backed home in the afternoon, room was not clean yet, we asked to do it during our next leave out. But they didn’t it yet, so we ordered to clean and left hotel. After come back they only provided one towel, we are two, So we asked staff to provide two, a staff at the front desk listened us well he only kept calling, we must asked the other staff to explain, That we are two guest,, so on, They brought and handed towel 10 min later without any words. Also they didn’t provide bottled of water for second day. We thought it free charge like other hotels. But he said one bottle of water is free for per booking, We must pay for second day water. only 20 rupees, such a nuisance cost Hence we didn’t feel welcomed from the hotel, This is not a cheapie, no BF inclusive, only good for location.

Stay at Rio Grande was pleasant. There are several must visit places in Madurai, in and around the hotel. I enjoyed my stay with my family.

I recently sent my parents who are in their 60s with 3 of my aunts who are all in their 50s and 60s. As this is is their first time in India on their own, I made specific arrangements for their travel requirements including the hotel that they will be staying. Purpletree Place West Marret was recommended to me by a friend who was there recently for a holiday with his family. He highly recommended the hotel. True enough, all my specific requirements on the groups needs were meticulously carried out. My parents and aunts couldn't stop commending on the spaciousness of the club room and the hospitality they received at the hotel. This is a value for money hotel with fantastic service and facilities. The rooms are spacious and suitable for large families and groups. Highly recommended.

I always liked to stay here whenever I go to Madurai. It's safe, neat and close to attractions that I did not find in many hotels in the same price band. They have a car parking with security. One of the good Veg restaurants in Madurai in few feet away. Wifi wasn't working during the entire stay.
