Pourtant surclassé dans une chambre premium, cet hôtel de luxe au standard indien est franchement défraîchi et aux équipements minimalistes. En revanche un personnel au petit soin notamment au restaurant.

Nice but noisy.

It was a very noisy room. With no rubber seal between the window and the frame the noise level was excruciating. The location was great for the sites to be seen.

Business Hotel One Block from Train Station

This is a standard business hotel that is one block from the railroad station and, thus, very convenient for travelers arriving in and/or departing from Madurai by train. The hotel is also a 10-15 minute walk from Meenakshi Temple, which is nice. Other pluses: the rooms and lobby are attractive, and the breakfast buffet was good. But two negatives. First, the bathroom in the room was in significant need of renovation. The fundamental bathroom facilities all worked, but everything looked like it hadn't been updated in 30 years. Second, the service at the front desk was poor. The hotel did not respond to several emails I sent requesting information in advance of my visit and I got an endless run-around when trying to change money at the front desk ("please wait five minutes" and then, five minutes later, "please come back in an hour" and then, an hour later, "Not today -- our accountant has left for the day.") But if those two concerns are not a problem for you and you are ok with a hotel near the train station, then the Royal Court is fine.

Maybe a splurge after 90 days of backpacking?

Probably the Royal Court was once an attempt to be a grand hotel with marble floors and fancy entry hall, but now it is just plain sad and dirty. The faucets and the shower were defective, the carpets were all super stained, the front desk staff were grumpy and unhelpful, and the “concierge” could not speak English. We were directed to have breakfast in a dirty conference room, where no one came to help us with table or chairs or silverware or napkins, because the dining hall was full. The mattress was also smelly and there was a major sewer stench in the bathroom. On the good points, the laundry service was fast, same day service for two shirts, we didn’t get sick after having breakfast there and they give us ample amount of bottled water.

マドゥライの中ではかなりいい方だと思う。 日本と比べると劣る点はあるが、あまり気にならなかった。 従業員も丁寧だし部屋も綺麗だった。 シャワーがぬるいのとトイレに難はあった(洋式だが、ウォシュレットは自分の手で備え付けのシャワーを当てる。トイレットペーパーも少ない)が、このホテルに限った話ではなくインド全体のことらしいので受け入れた。

Pleasant stay, great location near train station

Had a pleasant stay at Royal Court Madurai. I had a comfortable room with a good bed, bathroom, air-con and wi-fi. Staff were happy to check me in early, and to arrange late checkout at a reasonable price. Laundry service was prompt and good. The location is excellent if arriving by train - it's just across the road from the Madurai central train station, and about 15 minutes walk from the Meenakshi Amman temple. Only slight disappointment was the restaurant - a fairly hit and miss buffet with only a limited range of drinks and no alcohol. But there are plenty of other places to eat nearby. I would stay again.
