A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
My 4 nights stay at JC RESIDENCY was pleasant and made more memorable by the staff. They are always at hand to serve you with the utmost courtesy. As for the hotel and the room, the decor is reminiscent of the Indian palaces. The room we had was a suite. It was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed and pillows. All the usual amenities found in a hotel room are provided. I love the decor and royal feel to the room, but it is in need of an overhaul in terms of the appliances and fittings. The television does not work. If you don't intend to spend a lot of time in the room, then it's OK.
However, the bathroom sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of decor and is very much in need of a revamp. The shower is old school from the ceiling type with no control settings, no handheld shower provided.
To save water, a bucket and a scoop are provided. Handwash, body wash, and shampoo are to be expressed from local shop type dispensers.
I enjoyed the food. There was a good spread of local dishes for the breakfast buffet. Please ask for the South Indian coffee extra strong. Otherwise, it would be overly milky.
As my stay coincided with Pongal, the guests were invited to join in cooking the pongal over firewood stove and traditional games. It was fun with many sporting guests and staff joining in.

Things didn't start off well when I got the key card and tried to open the door to my room, the lights on the electronic lock flashed green but would not open, had to try 6 times before it decided to open... This was never fixed over my 11 day stay despite repeated requests.
The Mattress protectors were not tied in properly which meant the mattresses ended up being lumpy in places and uncomfortable. The pillows were worn out and uncomfortable.
This hotel room had never been deep cleaned on the inside with a layer of 10 years worth of dust on every surface. The rooms have a central HVAC system the ducts of which have never been cleaned. So every time you switch on the AC, a fresh layer of dust came out of them. If you decide to use the fan instead, all the dust from under the beds (Yes, they treat the outer edges of the beds as impenetrable force fields so don't mop under the beds) flies up right into your nose. The overall team was reluctant to do pretty much anything and expected us to 'Request' for basic necessities or else it was conveniently avoid (read basic cleaning, changing linens, providing toileteries, etc.)
They charge 6k INR/Day/Room but skimp out by not providing Mineral water for the rooms.
Both my parents who were over 60 years of age suffered chronic asthmatic attacks while our stay at this place, I seriously considered cutting short our trip and flying back home because each day at this hotel was hell.
The quality/freshness of the included breakfast was highly unpredicatble, they sometimes had fresh food at 7 AM and were serving recycled food from the previous day on other days at the same 7 AM. Food was mostly tasteless but was atleast hygenic.
I avoided ordering room service but what I did order was overpriced (5 star Hotel level in a Hotel which is at BEST a 3 Star on a good day)

The ambiance was wonderful, with beautiful pictures on the walls that showcased the richness of the local culture. The conference halls were well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged. The service staff were prompt and efficient in arranging and serving our needs.

The in-house dining was superb, offering a delightful mix of traditional foods and a continental breakfast menu, with live cooking counters adding to the experience.
A special mention goes to two beautifull recipients madurai queen ladies courteous and hospitable demeanor; warm smile made us feel very welcome.

Excellent hotel and great value for money. This is a large hotel, spread over 5 floors. It is necessary to underline, which is not necessarily common in India, the perfect maintenance of the equipment. Everything works perfectly. The rooms are spacious as well as the bathroom. Modern and very pleasant shower. The hotel is very well soundproofed and also located in a quiet area, less than 10 minutes by rickshaw from the Meenakshi temple. Excellent buffet breakfast and quality cuisine for dinners. The only downside is that the restaurant is a little noisy. There is also a very nice and very clean small swimming pool.

We really enjoyed our stay at JC – a very atmospheric property with real charm and a real sense of Madurai. The staff are very welcoming and made us feel immediately at home in both the hotel, and the very good restaurant – touted as the best in the city by some. We certainly enjoyed our meal there on the first night of our south India trip – ordering from the a la carte rather than the buffet and we were not disappointed. The rooms are lovely and large and ours benefitted from a window overlooking the swimming pool. Both the rooms ad the communal areas feature lots of wooden paneling and decorative touches which made us instantly know that we were somewhere special. Everything was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of hot water. The breakfast buffet was plentiful with lovely freshly made dosas. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool which was well-used in a morning by locals coming to get a swim in before work but then emptied out later in the day – ideal for cooling off after a day seeing the sites. Location-wise, this is a little out of town but we caught an auto to the centre which only took about ten minutes so really not too inconvenient at all. A great first hotel for our trip.
