Let me start with the bad, and then you decide if you wish to continue to hear "the good". My room had mosquitoes and bedbugs and despite complaints to change rooms or get at least some bug spray, nothing was done. So....if that doesn't put you off... It is very close to the railway station, places to eat, and of... More

Staff were helpful and pleasant. Check in quick, front desk staff very polite. Our room was on the street and we could hear every station announcement, they were very loud indeed, plus sellers using loudspeakers, we could also hear all the passing cars, people talking in the road, a mad cacophany of horns and revving engines etc all the time....

Despite having made a booking and paid in advance for the room we were kept waiting 45 minutes when we wanted to check-in. We were told at first to wait 10 minutes. After 15 minutes I went back to the desk to see if I could check in. The front desk manager looked down his nose at me, as if... More

The location is useful - close to the railway station, the shops, and the Sri Meenakshi temple.

The rooms are simple and clean as are the bathrooms.... More

Rooms were ok, but not the worth they charge for....maintenance of the washrooms was poor. food is bad. The only advantage is that its centrally located and the market and all the main attractions are nearby More

I called the room service but their response time was too bad. Later it got fixed. They should really try to improve more in terms of room quality and... More

Because reviews for my previously favorite budget hotels in Madurai indicated they were all steadily going downhill and because I was traveling with other family members who had never been to India before, I decided to "upgrade" a little and try the Madurai Residency. As recommended by other reviewers, I asked for renovated rooms, which we got. They were all... More

This hotel has good points and bad points. For the good point - It is close to the railway station and the main tourist sites. There are plenty of eateries in the area. The staff are nice and the rooms are spacious, but basic. The bad points - the service in the hotel is very average. For example, I was... More

I stayed at the Madurai Residency for a couple of nights in last month and found it generally okay. The rooms were tiny, but clean. Unfortunately, noise from the street just pours into the room, even when one is well up from the street level. Renovations were also occurring during my stay and I felt a little under siege I... More
