Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
A budget hotel with excellent location & quality service. Very neat & clean rooms , ideal for family stay. Front desk staff very cooperative & helpful. But restaurant not up to mark. The hotel arranges local & outstation site seeing tour along with M/s Subbu Tours & Travels , which is really horrible. We joined Kodaikanal & Rameswaram tour arranged by hotel & had very bad experience. They collect money in advance & leave the bus to driver , who simply cheats you. The drivers didn’t cover even the designated spots as per their program. The drivers also collected 50-60 rupees per head separately as guide changes but didn’t offer any service. They took us to Kodaikanal & Rameswaram town and left us in town just like that indicating the return time only. Please don’t join local & nearby tours arranged by hotel, else you will be repenting.

Worst service.. lost my iPhone charger from room itself. Just after vacating the room i contacted the hotel reception, there reply was no such charger in room. I am dawn sure that in my 5 days stay i never unplugged the charger from the charging point. Definitely room service department is well aware of the charger.

We had booked 2 rooms for a family trip in August 2022. Here is the review bifurcated into Pros & Con:
Pros: 1. Centrally located. Commuting to and from the hotel is easy. Madurai Railway station, Meenakshi Amman Temple near by. Just take an auto which you can find easily outside the hotel without waiting much. 2. Rooms are good 3. Bathrooms are clean, flush and the hand spray working condition is too good. (Giving here a plus point as most hotels lack this basic feature) 4. Staff is good and helpful 5. Worth the money you are paying for. 6. AC was working good
Con: 1. Wifi speed was slow, it needs improvement

Our train arrived very early in the morning, so we booked for 2 nights. However, when you check in early in the morning, the first night is passed already. Because of their policy of 24 hours check-in, we had to leave again after 24 hours. So, pay for 48 hours and get only 24 hours. Terrible and undiscerning. The room was oke with hot water.

I stayed there for a week. Hotel is acceptable but no service. No bedsheets changed. No soaps. Dirty towels. No cleaning of rooms while u stay. Wifi is wrongly advertised. Password is given for 20mb for your entire stay, but never worked. Managers are useless lot. Owner not available at any time. Language big problem with staff. No heed to complains.

Dear Guest, Thank you for writing your first review in tripadvisor. We are sincerely sorry that your visit did not reflect the high standards that we set for our hotel. Our goal is to always exceed our guests’ expectations. We value your comments and we will take whatever steps we can to correct the problem. We continue to be committed to provide you and all our guests with the highest standard of service in the industry @ low budget tariff. The wifi we offer is 20 mb per day. In the voucher that we provided we have mention the same ‘20 mb per day’ I think that is sufficient amount to surf and check email. For example if you stay for a week you get 20X7-140 mb. If the guest request we provide them 50mb per day additionally. This limitation is made so that guest does not misuse the network. We checked with our wi-fi log and you have used out service. Now we are offering 100 mb per day. Rooms are cleaned when guest request to clean or replace towel etc. Your room was cleaned 2 times and shifted from Ac to non Ac The house keeping staff can understand only local language (Tamil). Front office staff can understand and reply you in English and Hindi. Wish you the best in your business and personal endeavors. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in Hotel Vijay. Thank you Manager Hotel Vijay

We book two Non A/C rooms,the rooms is on 3rd floor,hotel also had lift facility. Rooms were clean and good.Rooms also had almost all basic facilities,
The Hotel was very near to kodal Alagar Temple.(10 mins waking)
Hotel also had taxi facility on affordable and cheap rates, So, we also book taxi for sight seeing places.
The staff was good but one person irritate us by asking us many times tea/coffee/lunch and many things but when we told him that we don't need anything, then he haven't visited again

PROS: 1) the location is good (but its one way.. so, if you miss the hotel, you need to go around the block and come back..) 2) have a few restaurants nearby (walking distance) CONS: 1) very small car parking. cant park more than 4-5 cars. I had checked online to ensure car parking availability. but day 1, while trying to park the car, the front desk guy very coolly told that there is no place and said I should park on the road. The next morning, there were scratches on one of the doors. 2)coming to the rooms, the rooms were old rooms and were below average. No drinking water and had to request multiple times. 3) Staff: The hotel staff were very rude, including the bell boy. Except for an elderly person (whom I guess was the owner) and his son, all the others were 100% rude.
Conclusion: To be honest, I have never had such an overall poor experience till date. Even if I am offered free stay in future, I will definitely not stay here.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sparing your valuable time to leave your feedback. We always Endeavour to meet and indeed exceed our guest’s expectations, and I truly apologize that this was not the case, on this occasion. We can park 12 cars. On Day 1 you had car parking till night and when you came late night the parking lot was full so we requested to park the car outside. Only on day1 night for few hours it was parked outside. Rest of the days it was parked inside. Scratches in your car are not recent. We also checked the cctv footage. Assure you that necessary steps and training to staff will be conducted to avoid such re- occurrences in future The entire team at Hotel Vijay would look forward to welcome you back. Thank you Manager, Hotel Vijay
