Review of Hotel Padmam
Reviewed Oct 16, 2018
If you are travelling to Madurai for visiting Meenakshi Amman Temple then this Hotel is an excellent place to stay as the temple is hardly 5 mins by walk. However, considering other factors it is not exactly value for money.
Factors
1. Proximity to Madurai Meenakshi Temple - 5 on 5. It is hardly 5 mins walk. You can see the Temple Towers and Gopuram from the roof top.
2. Sleep Quality - 3 on 5. The hotel is on the road and the rooms are not sound proof which means that you will hear traffic sounds
3. Food Availability - 3 on 5. There is no kitchen in the Hotel. The staff will procure food from nearby Hotels on order
4. Location - 2 on 5. The Hotel is located in a very congested market street. If you are travelling by car, you can't keep using the car. Access to the parking area is tricky. Even locating the Hotel and Hotel sign board is a challenge.
5. Room Cleanliness : 3 on 5. Well maintained with clean sheets, AC, TV. Clean Toilet. However the facilities i the toilet could be much improved - leaky taps. shower falls all over the commode and wash basin
6. Staff attitude: 1 on 5. Needs to be more customer / tourist oriented. I had booked a room for 3 adults and had to literally chase the staff for 4 hrs to get the extra pillow, blanket and towels. Baring the parking attendant the others were lethargic.
All these points are manageable if the price range is around 800-1000 for the room for 3. However, for a net price of 1500+ per night for 3, this is definitely not value for money. Overall, I am satisfied but not Happy with the experience. I will not be visiting the hotel again.

The hotel is located in a busy Madurai street and I even had difficulty finding the hotel name board.. They don't have a proper parking and 2wheeler parking is only possible on the road.. The hotel is very close to the railway station and walkable distance to periyar bus stand.. Check-in and checkout was smooth.. The room seemed to be quite old but was clean.. The room service should really be improved.. They have a inhouse restaurant and there are plenty of hotels in walkable distance.. Overall an average experience and can choose if it's just a 1 day stay..

Quite close to the railway station and Madurai Meenkashi temple. A budget accommodation that can be recommended for a short stay.
Location is in the middle of a very busy commercial area having multiple streets some of them narrow with lot of shops and establishments. Hence, Would be difficult to navigate through if one is going with his car.
Room is quite okay, spacious and neat with basic facilities provided.

Hotel is very close to temple, but car parking and on the way to this hotel is hectic. No proper place for parking very congested roads to this hotel. Staffs are good, but rooms are not. Recommend only for single or bachelors trip. Not for a family trip.
