One of the best properties I've seen from Gateway, with lush greenery and peacocks wandering around the campus. The staff are friendly but not in your face, and I'm amazed at how they manage to do this consistently across all staff - it is obviously a result of great management - my kudos to them. The pool is excellent, the... More

This is an outstanding hotel for a get away from the hustle bustle of city life. It is located on a hilltop overlooking the city. A good thought from the hotel to place lounge chairs in the periphery of the hotel; wherein you can view the city night skyline over a relaxing drink at Night. This is a heritage building... More

This Taj is special. It is located in what was originally built as the estate of an English businessman. Situated on top of a hill, the views are great, especially of the five towers of the Meenakshi Temple complex. Most people say this is the best hotel in Madurai. I had the hotel pick me up at the airport and... More

Prabhu and Priya at the front desk are great! They helped me with my travel plans and booking at other hotels on my... More

I came from the USA with my son, daughter-in-law, and 5-year-old granddaughter to adopt their new daughter, 3 years old, from an orphanage in Madurai. We intended to stay 3 days, and wound up staying 4 weeks because of unexpected passport issues. The hotel staff were so sympathetic and helpful. The grounds are quiet and beautiful! I drank in the...

I stayed here for one month on business, and I would say it is the prettiest place you could stay in Madurai. The room is large, with a ceiling fan and 2 A/C units. There was no bath which is disapointing given the size of the bathroom. It would have been good to have one to soak in as Madurai... More

Beautiful buidling on a hill with peacocks and squirrels joining you for breakfast. Rooms are spacious and clean with a beautiful view. The deck outside of the room in main building is very comfortable. Food was good too. A nice retreat out of the but not fare from the town.

After seeing all the excellent reviews ,we firmed to go for TAJ. But everything was unexpected, the staffs need training, most of the staff doesn't understand English, french they are not attentive. it seems no one is there to guide staff. the room was good. but the service is poor. first day evening ordered chicken sandwich, quiet uncooked got stomach...

This hotel is located at Pasumalai, Madurai. Pasumalai in Tamil means green hill.The hotel is on top of this small hill and the road to the top is really green. Peacocks add further charm to the place. The staff give a traditional welcome...suggestion, saree could have been the correct dress for such a traditional welcome. The rooms are quite large...reasonably... More
