Sri ArulMuthu Residency

Overall Good hotel to stay with an old building charm. It looks like an old building that has been converted into hotel, not sure about the history though. From traveller standpoint here are the pros & cons of the property. Pros- 1) The property is on the main road and is around 2 km from Meenachi Am*** Koil (principal temple in Madurai). 2) All modes of transportation are easily available and Autos will charge around 120-150 to ferry to temple. 3) The property does not have any in-house restaurant, and the menu in the room is more towards, food that they can procure from outside. 4) There are both veg & non veg options available within 50-100 mtrs from hotel premises, so one does not need to travel too far for food. 5) The hotel has adequate parking space at the back of the property and parking is safe and secure. 6) In terms of hotel amenities, water dispenser is available on each floor (2 floors in total). Large bathroom with 24hr hot water was available and AC was also working fine. Basic toiletries were provided. 7) Beds are large enough to accommodate 3 adults, cable was also ok, TV set is bit old and small. 8) Hotel staff was courteous and helpful with any needs. Cons- 1) No Lift in the property (G+1), and stairs are steep and narrow, will be an issue for senior citizens or people with knee related problems. 2) This is more of a civic issue, but during the days we stayed, there was some issue with public drainage and all the water was on the road on which the property is situated, but no issue of smell in the hotel. Overall it's a good stay with easy access to places of interest and enough restaurants & A**'s nearby. Just one needs to be mindful of the steps and inconvenience to elderly citizens if one gets room in 1st floor.
