We stayed for 3 nights at the hotel. The room was neat and good with all the amenities one would associate with an international class hotel. Breakfast spread was excellent, catering to Indian and western palates. Staff were courteous and professional and genuinely tried to assist. Overall, an excellent stay. Highly recommended.

the location is good but not ITC standard. Food quality needs drastic improvements. Resturant hygiene bad ..THERE WAS A FLY IN THE RASAM SERVED ! they tried justifying it that it was waiter fault ! ITC needs to AUDIT the processes and place
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023
Response from General Manager on 10 Feb 2024
Dear rahul, We deeply regret the standards of cleanliness and food quality you encountered during your visit and assure you this isn't reflective of our norms. Having a fly in the dish served is truly inexcusable and we genuinely understand your distress. We are taking this issue with utmost severity and have initiated a comprehensive review of our processes. While the incident at hand might seem like a server's fault, we view it as a significant problem that points towards our internal operating procedures. We assure you that strict corrective measures will be implemented to prevent such an incident in the future. We are equally concerned about your feedback regarding our food quality. Our guests’ satisfaction is always our prime focus from the fresh products used to the chef’s preparation. We will further enhance our efforts in this direction to ensure a superior dining experience to all our guests. Your feedback is precious, as it helps outline the areas we require to work on. We are thankful for your observations regarding an audit, and we are in touch with the team leaders to enforce stringent quality checks regularly. We remain committed to maintaining and exceeding ITC's standards, and we look forward to rebuilding your trust in us. Regards,Senthil Rajan P

Dear NIrupam, Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at our property. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as we continuously strive to enhance our guests' experiences. We are immensely pleased to hear that you found our staff to be excellent. Our dedicated team works hard to create memorable experiences for our guests and will be delighted to know that you appreciated their service. However, we sincerely apologize for falling short of your expectations in terms of our property and amenities. We understand how crucial it is for our guests to have clean and comfortable linens, as well as excellent amenities, during their stay. Rest assured that your concerns have been duly noted and communicated to the respective department for rectification and improvement. We believe in the constant improvement and upgrade of our property, facilitated by guest feedback like yours. Hence, we are investing heavily in refurbishment plans to ensure that our amenities and property quality matches our excellent service standards.

Despite the issues you've mentioned, we hope the prompt and friendly service provided by our staff could somewhat alleviate your discomfort.

Fortunately Nice :-)
Curteous, well mannered and eager to assist is how I would describe the staff. The property is nice re done in 2015 (as per the information shared with me), however the maintenance of the room (where we stayed) was a bit disappointing. The led tube light was not functioning, the drainage of the tub was blocked. However this should not negate the overall stay which was nice and pleasant. The breakfast spread was nice and so was the service, The wifi was excellent

Needs to give more attention to Guest requests and comforts especially Front office.

Experience the real India, crowded, smelly and fab
The hotel is one of the best in the Madurai area but this is small city India and standards are different. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and very willing to help. Unfortunately we stayed at a 5 star hotel before we went there and that is tough competition for any 3 star. It is good value and the food was really good for vegetarians and vegans. Don't be put off, Madurai and its fantastic Temple are a must see when you come to Tamil Nadu.
