"The bathrooms will benefit repaint and upgrades but the hot water is hot! The rooms didn’t have coffee, tea nor cups. In terms of stay it’s overall positive, we stayed to crash for the night to visit the Velankanni Church. "
"I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. The overall maintenance of the property was extremely poor. The bed and pillows were visibly unclean, which made it difficult to rest comfortably. The bathroom was in terrible condition—the door was broken and there was a persistent, unpleasant odor that made using the facilities unbearable. These issues significantly impacted the quality of my stay. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, or pleasant environment."
"Nice tiled room but not clean. Specially the bathroom and the sheets. With a good scrub it could be a nice place.
Good location, close to the sights "
""One star for the staff, zero for the room!"
When I walked into the room, I was greeted by unwashed sheets and pillow covers. A quick call to the staff got me clean ones—but sadly, that's where the wins ended.
The room itself? Straight out of a horror movie. Peeling walls, moldy pillows, and broken plumbing made it feel like I had checked into a haunted house. My "view" upon opening the door? A broken ceiling with a bucket catching rainwater. (At least the bucket wasn’t inside my room… small mercies.)
The AC was particularly innovative—moss was growing out of it. Who needs a green wall when you have a green AC?
Food was the only saving grace. It tasted good… when it eventually arrived. Two rotis and a veg kurma took over an hour—so long we joked it might be breakfast instead of dinner.
The staff, bless their hearts, were polite, hardworking, and doing their best under impossible circumstances. It’s a management issue, not their fault. If the staff were running things, this place might stand a chance.
One star, entirely for the staff. Management, please take notes—or at least take a good look at the moss-covered AC. I have got the pictures to prove it!

"We stayed for a night for the temple Darshan at Thirunallar. Hotel is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the temple. Property surrounded by lot of greeneries with string lights in the night give a beautiful holiday vibe. Very calm and peaceful.
Rooms were tastefully done with modern and clean look. Bathroom was updated and very clean as well. Rain head shower and hot water availability was the best. We had a good nights rest after a long drive.
The breakfast buffet was very good and had many spreads just like home made.
The hotel staff were extremely helpful, kind and proactive. Especially Mr. Shakti ensured we enjoyed our stay."
