It was a decent budget hotel with basic amenities. Its far from city centre so not recommended without easy transportation. Food was awful...even the Tamil breakfast was bad. Staff was friendly and helpful. The telephone outside the room kept ringin, which was annoying

Had basic amenities, friendly staff. The room was clean but kind of worn down. Strange smell that didn't bother my friend but bothered me. Food is awful. Not close to city attractions.

Our travel company had booked the hotel for us this March for three nights. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by the hotel........decent sized rooms, good housekeeping and a well laid out multicuisine breakfast. the staff was very attentive and the prices were very competitive. All in all a good experience

Our hire car company had booked this room for us and we were aghast when we got to the hotel: it's miles away from the temples and just as noisy as the city centre. We looked at the room anyway and it didn't appeal at all (old-fashioned and a bit worn down) so we simply refused to stay there and... More

This is a business hotel, not for families. It actually provides you a place to sleep in a strange city. That is all. Located on the bypass road, its a noisy place. The lobby looks neat and welcoming. The food is poor in taste and quality ( you can actually see small flies on the bread). Considering you are in... More

Tariff in this hotel in my view is worth £30 or Indian Rupee worth Rs. 2000. The actual charge is double the service they provide. The only positive side is that they provide good breakfast and that is complimentary. Bed rooms is standard, but bathroom is not of the standard that they charge for.

Hotel Germanus is an old hotel. It used to be one of the best hotels in Madurai until some time ago. On my recent visit, the thing that struck most was that the exterior had been well maintained, the lobby area modernised but as soon as you got into the room, it was a very ordinary experience. The rooms are... More

We found the Germanus a very large but welcoming hotel. The room was a decent size with a good bathroom. We negotiated a reduction in price even though it was the Christmas season so do try it before settling on a rate. There is a large restaurant which serves a typical south Indian buffet breakfast but with fresh eggs or... More
