"Ideal location set close to train station and temple.
Staff helpful, one spoke good English.
Hotel is in dire need of re-furbishment. Comfy mattress, decent aircon, WiFi adequate.
Decor not great, old fashioned. Toilet and shower desperately needs refurb. Was clean but old stains remain that can’t be removed from cleaning."

"Staying at Heritage Madurai was the highlight of my trip — truly the best and only best part of my Madurai visit! From the moment I arrived, every single staff member was exceptionally warm, kind, and hospitable. You can genuinely feel how much they care about their guests — it’s that kind of old-school hospitality that makes you feel right at home.
The property itself is absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained, immaculately clean, and surrounded by endless greenery. Even though Madurai can be quite hot, the resort feels like a lush green forest that instantly cools your mind and soul. The rooms are spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, blending modern comfort with traditional charm.
Every corner of this place radiates peace — from the stone pathways shaded by trees to the calm, earthy tones that make you forget you’re anywhere near a city. It’s a world of its own — serene, refreshing, and so beautifully kept."

The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Overall, Grand Madurai offers a great blend of accessibility, comfort, and service—ideal for both leisure and business travelers."
