But, once you enter it feels like you are staying in someone's home. The staff was very attentive. Food choice was minimal and was a bit underwhelming. They had a cooking demo planned for 4 PM, and they insisted we be on time during the check-in process. We cut short our outside trip and returned on time, only to be told that they are waiting for other guests and will not start until all the guests arrive. So much for being punctual and being told to be on time for the demo. I don't myself staying at this place again. It is OK to experience it once. ##### Balaji Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was great! ##### Stefan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Praveen SagayaRaj Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great property in the heart of chettinad. ##### Praveen SagayaRaj Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### prakash Jun 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great ##### prakash Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### prakash Feb 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Love this place Best place and peaceful Mr Shiva was very kind and helpful, will stay here again.

The bedrooms had the look and feel of the past, but also the inadequacies: no coffee/tea making in the room, no refrigerator. The property is cosy and boutique-like, with only 15 rooms - which is too few to have a liquor licence. So you can't enjoy a beer on a hot day. The service is also slow, since the kitchen is far from the three locations at which meals are served. So, if you think modern comforts and rapid service are essential in a place you'd like to call home in this arid locale, this hotel isn't for you. However, if you want to experience life as it was a century ago in a wealthy Chettiar home, this is fabulous. ##### Rama ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fritz Oct 18, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Place to Stay Beautiful building, amazing food, tranquility and most of all, friendly and incredibly helpful staff - what more could you ask from a hotel? We had a great stay and wish we had planned to stay longer. A trip round the village on the hotel bicycles is well worth it! ##### Fritz ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis, Houston, Texas USA Aug 31, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An oasis in Chettinad This is an amazing hotel. The holy trinity. Great ambiance, excellent staff and a nice restaurant. The cooking class was fun and informative. We loved our room and the walks through the village at sundown were lovely. The large pool is reverse osmosis and lunch by the pool was excellent. The family hospitality was what tied it all together to make for a perfect 3 day holiday. ##### Dennis ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin, london Jul 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The best welcome This hotel is actually a home once owned and lived in by the very rich Indian business men of their time. This is a beautiful place to stay, from the moment you arrive and are greeted by the hotel staff to the breakfast you have in the gardens, this is the place to switch off the mobile and just lay back. Fantastic hotel. ##### Martin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Dec 26, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent hotel; Fantastic Staff Probably the happiest, most interesting and most professional place in which we have stayed across several trips to India. The rooms are enormous, the food is very good, but mostly the staff are exceptional and for once, well trained, confident and sensitive to their guests. ##### Michael ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 19, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### You wouldn't think For me this is a 4 Star or more, possibly because of facilities it's been classed as Three star. However if you want comfort, huge rooms, the most friendliest of staff, beautifully maintained historic building that has a pool then this is the place to stay. You will be very surprised. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Padma Nov 6, 2025 ##### Padma Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### prakash Jun 8, 2024 ##### prakash Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vijayraja Mar 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxury in traditional style ##### Vijayraja Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Rajadhane](https://www.expedia.ca/Madurai-Hotels-Hotel-Rajadhane.h17963185.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Jai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kodaikanal-Hotels-Hotel-Jai.h5578142.Hotel-Information) > > [Laya Regency](https://www.expedia.ca/Mayuram-Hotels-Laya-Regency.h67588874.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibex Resorts, Kotagiri](https://www.expedia.ca/Kotagiri-Hotels-Ibex-Stays-And-Trails.h91424648.Hotel-Information) > > [Noormahal Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karnal-Hotels-Hotel-Noormahal.h27081617.Hotel-Information) > > [Craigmore By Kodai Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kodaikanal-Hotels-Craigmore-By-Kodai-Resort-Hotel.h101916047.Hotel-Information) > > [MYSTIQUE STAY RESORT by indostays](https://www.expedia.ca/Kotagiri-Hotels-MYSTIQUE-STAY-RESORT-By-Indostays.h100169211.Hotel-Information) > > [CSR Landmark Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Coimbatore-Hotels-CSR-Landmark-Resorts.h100969358.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ananta Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-The-Ananta-Udaipur.h8704364.Hotel-Information) > > [R K Residency](https://www.expedia.ca/Tirupur-Hotels-R-K-Residency.h31953263.Hotel-Information) > > [Neemrana Fort-Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Alwar-Hotels-Neemrana-Fort-Palace.h16224166.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Udaipur Palace Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Udaipur-Palace-Resort-Spa.h2481058.Hotel-Information) > > [BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - By the Ganges](https://www.expedia.ca/Varanasi-Hotels-BrijRama-Palace-A-Heritage-Hotel.h15077866.Hotel-Information) > > [Arudhra Residency](https://www.expedia.ca/Chidambaram-Hotels-Arudhra-Residency.h27369417.Hotel-Information) > > [TCS Residency](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanchipuram-Hotels-TCS-Residency.h106090197.Hotel-Information) > > [Anandha Grand](https://www.expedia.ca/Izmir-Hotels-Anandha-Grand-Lodge.h67572786.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Goa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cavelossim-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Goa-Resort.h438378.Hotel-Information) > > [Arumugam AC Residency](https://www.expedia.ca/Tiruchendur-Hotels-Arumugam-AC-Residency.h105006703.Hotel-Information) > > [Svatma - A Luxury Heritage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Thanjavur-Hotels-Svatma.h20867207.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumino Skypark](https://www.expedia.ca/Kodaikanal-Hotels-Lumino-Skypark.h102665272.Hotel-Information) > > [Daiwik Hotels Rameswaram](https://www.expedia.ca/Rameshwaram-Hotels-Daiwik-Hotels-Rameswaram.h11520818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leela Palace Udaipur](https://www.expedia.ca/Udaipur-Hotels-The-Leela-Palace-Udaipur.h3021032.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Signature Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Salem-Hotels-Grand-Signature-Hotel-Spa.h38516247.Hotel-Information) > > [The Maharaja's Lodge, Ranthambore](https://www.expedia.ca/Sawai-Madhopur-Hotels-Vivanta-Sawai-Madhopur-Lodge.h695445.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paradise inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tirupur-Hotels-Hotel-Paradise-Inn.h20934117.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabbana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Jalandhar-Hotels-The-Cabbana-Resort-Spa.h2561042.Hotel-Information) > > [Shambala Yercaud](https://www.expedia.ca/Salem-Hotels-Shambala-Resort-Spa-By-Sparsa.h38950030.Hotel-Information) > > [RAS RESIDENCY](https://www.expedia.ca/Kumbakonam-Hotels-RAS-RESIDENCY.h93833434.Hotel-Information)
