Wonderful

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!
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
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.

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However, the bathroom and its fittings were outdated and badly need renovation.
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
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
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.
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? 🤔
Rooms are spacious and clean, hotel surroundings are amazing and services is top ! Always a pleasure to come to this hotel.
Restaurant offer wide range of delicious meals.
