Hotel rooms are neat. Decent food. Choices are limited though... Breakfast is available only after 8 am (even idly). Center of city close to railway station and bus stand. Ample car parking. No hot water in the room. Since we travelled in summer we managed.

Antique hotel, it should be declared a world heritage site. As Is the hotel similar is the staff, all are above 60. The restrooms are too dirty and often blocked. The crockery is also too old and not properly maintained. The food is good but the tea and coffee does not taste as it should be.Overall it could be rated as 1/10 as only the parking available is amply spaced.Thank God, that the stay was only enroute and I was there only for some 19 hrs.

Rooms are not clean. They dont have time to explain proper about their rooms and charges .total disappointment . Worst manner from receptionist I think he just being for name seek

Super taste mealsGood serving

The ambience is great. The food quality and taste are good. The service is neat. Overall a perfect place for dinner/lunch

Good place for family..but the restrooms were not cleaned well...flush is not working...and the room boy are old age people...so they cant do work fastly...

Veg restaurant, along with decent stay option, nice place to eat and stay at heart of the city. It is next to Koodal azhagar temple and close to Meenakshi Amman temple

Reception is good but average Hotel.

Good and nice food. Polite and friendly Customer service.

Good hotel. Tasty food. Parking is a problem

Worst food taste and service .. not worth the cost

Cheapest lodges for short stay, near to koodalazhar temple &periyar bus stand.Veg restaurtant is also available.

Rooms maintenance could be improved

Old building but An Amazing food quality and sophisticated car parking well maintained and good quality of services and good vibes surroundings

Food is really good. Had a pleasent stay with my family. Building is old but rooms are neat and tidy.

Very cheap and clean place.Enjoyed the stay.Good food too

Good food quality

A calm, neat and decent place... Loved the dinner..

Hotel Aarathy is on the West Vadampokki street. One disadvantage is the hotel is not visible from the road as it is tucked inside a lane and is at the back side of the Koodal Alagar temple. However, there is ample space for parking vehicles. The ambience inside the hotel is good and the tarrif is reasonable. Many side dishes are served along with meals and the cost is Rs.110/-.

The cons of Madurai is lack of decent hotels for a good stay. You cant find good hotel within Madurai at all. This hotel looks fine.. But night stay will be a nightmare. You will have the company of bedbugs although the night. They dont like you sleeping. And leave their company all over your body.You have spacious parking, a decent restaurant that offers South Indian meals and breakfast.

Food is good. Rooms not clean.

Delicious food. Not so crowded. You can enjoy your food calmly and they are cheap too, servers are mostly aged peoples and you can give them a second life if you come and have food at this place.. we have been going to this hotel since 30 years. There is a open space too for having food during dinner.

The restaurant here was surprisingly good. It isnt noticeable from outside, doesnt have much crowd. But the food was pretty good, nice taste. Pricing is very much same like similar mid sized restaurants. Surely worth the try 👍👍

Food was below par, service was ok considering no crowd, ambience was the only positive of the visit

Nice Hotel. Provide all facilities

Cold food served otherwise ok.

No Hot Water Supply in the morning for bath....

Good restaurant

Bed bugs, watch out guys. Only advantage is its location. Walkable distance to bus stop, railway station and market. Restaurant attached is very good.

Family restaurant is good and clean, service is good.

Worst Car Parking Facility...got huge dent on door.

Good place to stay and maintain the quality for long time

Can improve the environment and taste

Very helpful when in need, maintenance could be more taken care of.. Food and service was very good. Thank you

Horrible. If you are the kind of people who enjoy hunting and adventure then this is a perfect please to stay. We spent the entire night killing bed bugs. My score for tonight is 12 kills. Hats off to the management who would look for any chance to ask for tip. I guess this could be the number one worst hotel in madurai

Whenever I come to Madurai, I have my lunch here. The place is straight back of Zam Zam sweets in Periyar. They have a car parking facility and also they run a lodge. They maintain the quality of food always. Air conditioned restaurant; Decent people around. Families are welcome!

Horrible restaurant. Terrible experience. They served us spoiled rice for lunch. All frozen items.

Very good restaurant parking place very good

Good changes are being done by hotel management recently.. Bad condition beds are changed, room service is improving and good response to the customers.Keep up the good work..

The very worst hotel in entire town.. we took 3 rooms in single day, 1st room was 202, where water started to drop from air conditioner,, they gave 211, where rooms were occupied with bed bugs,,, by 12 midnight room changed to 210, where both water dripping and bed bugs are full.. no discount and the receptionist was the worst guy I have ever spoken.. throw ur money on road than paying to them..

Good

Budget accommodation. Rooms are not very great. Maintenance is not that great. Bathrooms were not very clean. Rooms are very old style. All said, they have a great restaurant. Food is amazing here. They have parking for at least fifteen cars. Service at the restaurant is too good but we cannot say the same for the Hotel...Good for just an overnight stay..

The hotel was great! The staffs were friendly. The room was clean, fantastic. The restaurant of the hotel was amazing. Good food.

Value for money. Calm place. Good parking. Very close to Periar bus stand which is under renovation

Tasty vegetarian food, limited parking for two and four wheelers. Ideally located in the heart of Madurai city. Reasonably priced. May visit with family

The hotel food is good and tasty... We go often to this place... The ambience is good.. Staffs are old but remember us always

Value for Money. Needs improvement on maintenance. Good restaurant and good service

Has lost its old Glory, pulls along with the old customers,if given attention it may gain significance as it is in the centre of Madurai

Maintenance is very poor.Located near temple. Vehicle parking is good. Bedbugs exists.

Nice hotel. Probably, a complimentary breakfast will complete all the qualities of a good hotel. Lift needs to be altered from 1950 to 2018. But for that, old wine in brand new ,neat and clean bottle

Nice place to stay but before choosing room one should confirm the charges because I was told Rs 650/- (single room) for single day stay but alloted me double room and charged Rs750/-while check out I didnt argue since I was busy leaving....and there was also no hot water in the morning ...have to improve service and màintenance ......have parking area and have a restaurant ....

Madurai s oldest hotel ...veg fud is gud , rooms r so so bt cheap

Nice vegetarian restaurant at the city centre. Soups salads crispy Snacks Dosa along with tasty sambar is awesome...Try your dinner here especially in the outdoor restaurant.

This place used to have its charm. But lately, the maintenance of the place is bad. Damp walls, worn off paint, broken fittings makes the prices look unworthy. They have parking space available for only a handful of cars. Move it and you lose it. The staff also are quite pestering when it comes to tips.All in all, the place has dropped to two stars, which is its actual hotel rating

Very unfortunate experience. Bed was full of bugs. General cleanliness is worst.For Gods sake dont torment customers with this kind of rooms. Ill never recommend this hotel even to my enemies

Horrible place to stay.Unhygienic in general, moist bed sheets/duvets and linen, unclean rooms and toilet, very old building, unfriendly staff including security at the gate and receptionist, parking is difficult with limited space and with rudeness of security person.A/C didn’t have a remote and fan speed couldn’t be controlled.Didn’t try food but wouldn’t want to visit this place ever again.

I just went there for a coffee.During my visits prior to my retirement I stayed there many times & found it was a good place for business or staying with your family.Even now it is a good place.Centrally located . Near the railway junction , temples.Restaurant is very good.

Oh no... should i call this a hotel. really horrible experience. We had booked through agent Happy tour and travels and BABA tour and travels (near madurai railway station) with a good review but get surprised when entered in the room. I am attaching photos, hope my review will give you safe stay.

Pleasant

Oldest and renowned hotel but lack its charisma now!!One of the best hotel to serve soft and yummy idlys at Madurai!!!

This my favorite hotel, Ive visited this from my childhood days. Very authentic South Indian restaurant, every time when I visit koodal azhagar perumal temple or during chitira car festival I used to visit this place for my appetite. Taste ambience remains the same even the waiters, 💯 authentic.

Food is really good and the ambiance of the hotel is also very royal. They have quite some parking space and even if the hotel space is we can park outside the hotel. The location of hotel is very good that it is so near to railway station still not so crowded street.

Worst facilities no hot water n foul smell.Out dated risky lift.Non functional ACExuberant prices in their hotel

Nice ambiance.

Being in such heart of city they should maintain the cleanliness. It was very bad. Room eas stinking and the toilet was bad. Also one coffee is Rs.30 which is too costly for the quality and quantity.

Pathetic rooms... Water seeping into room, horrible odur and worse of all BED BUGS...had to change rooms in the middle of the night

Had some bed bugs....the staff were courteous and really really helpful....

Nice food and receive

Very worst place hated with the hospitality .beds are with bugs etc please ensure with staying with family especially with kids

Worst

If you are looking for short stay then this is the place. The Rooms are both good and average. Make sure you take a look at the rooms before you book. Location is close to Meenakshi Amman temple little walkable.

We tried here for South Indian meals , the food here was not great as expected . They can do much better with bringing new varieties of vegetables

Clean restaurant, courteous people, tasty south Indian food.. reasonable pricing..What else can we look for in a restaurant in Madurai town...Will visit again

Restaurant ambience is good. Good service by very courteous staff. Taste of food was OK.

Neat rooms, good food and courteous service, all at a reasonable tariff make Aarthy a great place to visit

Located close to Madurai Town! Easily accessible by all modes of transport. Rooms are maintained clean. Service was also good.

Overall the amenities are good but is of no use to sleep, bcoz of Bedbugs. My whole night is disturbed due to this.

Woken up in the middle of the night to write this review. Lots of beg bugs. Just wanted to check if they did desprately give a room with bed bugs without informing us. Seems so after reading more review. Have come with a 1 year old baby. Have been a very frequent visitor but i guess this is going to be the last visit here.So kewping my eye open so that my child does not get bitten and disturbed in sleep. Its a night ruined

Please do not stay at this hotel. My recent stay was horrible. Bed bugs in almost all the rooms.They changed three rooms from 10 pm till 12 midnight. It was a nightmare.

The AC rooms were clean and quite spacious. Overall the hotel was very clean and hygienic. Staff was great but they understood only tamil and english. The restaurants food was delicious. Lassi and tea are a must try.

Good ambience and very near to railway station and Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple. But the bathrooms werent that much hygienic and the bed which Ive used was bug packed and couldnt sleep well. Services and behavior are good

Feeling better!!

Food is of good quality. Neat and clean. Attentive staff.

Budget hotel with vegetarian food. Rooms could have been painted and equipped with better lighting. Bathroom and toilet need attention. More importantly the valets keep chasing you every time for tips that is very annoying. The management should look into it

A bit run down now. Needs a facelift. Great location and good food

It will be still more good if they could provide more varieties

The rooms are so sophisticated and nice. There is only a small difference between deluxe and normal rooms. But they are surely great.

Very spacious and affordable rooms near Periyar bus stand. For Non AC rooms, need more and more maintanence. Balcony view and rooms were maintained badly.

Very bad maintenance in ground floor rooms.toilet and rooms smells a lot. Paints scratched but... had a good Panasonic led tv with vk setup box .

Hotel was good. Staffs behaviour appreciable. Lavetory was clean. AC in good condition. Easy access to transport. There were few pests on the bed, which disturbed the sleep.

Very bad experience! Bed full or bed bugs, room full of mosquitoes, windows didnt close. :(

Decent place to stay with family for a couple of days. Service is good. Rest rooms are moderately clean

Wouldnt recommend this place. Bed bugs...Need to be very careful. Please check twice below the beds. Even its costlier compared to other hotels.

Convenient and comfortable

Nice veg restaurant, comfortable,reasonable price,polite & prompt service and very neat.

Food was awesome. Stay is also pleasantable.

Good place to have food with friends . Sambar and chutney are good . Try idly , dosa , sambar vadai , pongal .

For a single person (or) a single night stay its OK. But not suggested for families and long stays.*Advantage - less price, located at the heart of the city*Disadvantage - I think since they had started this hotel, they never changed the furniture, bed, cot, etc., Need to replace it and maintain properly

An old hotel running with its olden days srepute. Air conditioners are not functioning properly. Even there are no plug points (other than for tv) for mobile chargings. Laboratories are horrible. The paints on the inner walls came out at several places. Even the beds are with bugs. The hotel needs immediate renovation

Very old place. The place isnt clean. Very mediocre room service. Not worth the money.
