戈普拉姆住宅酒店(Gopuram Residency)

We had a great stay at Gopuram Residency as a family of 3 including a 9 year old. Our friends, a couple, also had a great stay in their room. It is great quality for the price compared to other comparable hotels in India. The bathroom was clean enough for Western comfort and included toilet paper, soaps, and fresh towels., The A/C and fan were champions even in 40°C days. The beds and linens were comfortable and clean. There is no view from windows. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location cannot be beat immediately next to the West Temple entrance and on a road mercifully free of cars, tuktuk, and scooters. We would stay here again.

Perfect stay for family. Right beside temple. Opposite to west gate. Important point- Cabs are not allowed till hotel due to restrictions around temple zone. One have to walk 200m to catch taxi Food- They don’t have anything in-house. But staff is good enough to bring food from outside.

Pros: Located bang on the temple street near the west gopuram. Walkable distance to the temple from here. New property, the rooms were spacious and clean. Cons: No Parking, not accessible by vehicles., since it’s located almost outside the temple premises. We had a tough time locating hotel and carrying all our baggages to and fro. No nearby hotels/ restaurants.

Stayed here on April 9th 2022 for overnight stay to visit the Madurai temple.. The hotel is newly built and must be owned by a local politician... - Rooms are very small - you cannot even freely move inside the room - Rooms have no windows...you feel like living inside a locker room - Absolutely NO customer service - No decent restaurant near by...need to walk at least one km even for a cup of coffee - No coffee service in the hotel or no kettle int eh room for self prep - Washrooms are so small....only a pet can take shower...no hu*** can use this - Rooms are so close and knitted together...that it is very noisy...can make you sleepless - It is in a narrow lane opposite to the West tower of the temple....no vehicle can access this place....need to park before the barricades and bring your belongings Would not recommend and would not stay again
