Pros: Very clean efficiently run place with great view over the nearby Tank from the corridor window..The attached restaurant serves tasty food in huge portions! Staff helped with getting autos etc

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Catering

Pros: The property is close to all the temples. It’s clean and comfortable.

Cons: We have used the hotel restaurant for breakfast on 7/1. I was sick and vomited around 10:00am. My husband got food allergy and ended up swollen lips. He saw a doctor at Nepolian Clinic and ended up paying Rs 1,500. So not happy at all with the Restaurant. I hope you guys can reimburse the doctors fee. Thank you

Pros: The ambience, the place with loads of nature around, excellent food and hospitality of the staff, activities like fish feeding and pottery making for kids

Cons: The facility doesn't have a Television

Pros: Extremely kind,accommodating and courteous executives and staff right from the front desk to the restaurant to the other . Most food we had tasted very good. Beautiful property.

Cons: We visited in late December and it was rather cold and rainy even in Kumbakonam. It would be good to have electric heating for water instead of just relying on solar heaters. Solar heaters would work well for the hot months. But,the staff very quickly arranged for hot water in buckets. Otherwise,nothing much really!

Pros: Very tranquil and an atmosphere joyous.Everything was beautiful. The bathroom partially outdoor is really wonderful. Swimming pool on edge off wild garden is super. The manager went out off his way to help us.

Cons: Didnt like having to leave

Pros: The environment and setting was good

Cons: Check out time was 11 am which is crazy for guest who check in late . We request the staff to allow to external just till 1 pm as normal per any other 5 star hotel but they refused and moved out our bags to another room . Which was rude . We came with family and wanted to experience this place but it’s was not a pleasant stay.

Pros: Pristine location, helpful staff and good cultural activities

Pros: It’s very clean and peaceful. Room Service was commendable and love the food. Its around 10 km from Kumbakonam so there isn’t any noise or chaos, hence my parents loved it. In the morning you see peacock within resort premise and also we went for morning walk which was so rejuvenating.

Cons: Access to property is via a small bridge which is safe and good. Also to update there is another route which is via big bridge and new road, but currently it’s not shown google maps(around 3 km extra)

Pros: Located in a quiet place away from the crowded city and yet convenient for doing the temple trips. Waking up to chirping birds is a luxury. Tea Kadai offers morning and evening tea which is superb. Fresh air.

Cons: Breakfast was good but the experience was not commensurate to the otherwise excellent standard of the place. Some dishes were not replenished on time. A little slow on service

Pros: - Natural setting and the clean environment - Tea Kada - Food - Room - Walking area

Cons: - Remote Location without any direction marking to lead to this place. We were travelling in a traveller van to Mantra Koodam in the night as per google map direction. When we entered a narrow road in the dark, one of the villager told that big vehicles cannot travel through that route. We were stuck as the resort management never indicated this issue. Then I had to call their reception to send alternative route via pin drop. As we followed to the alternative route which is almost 2kms, at one point we saw one direction marker where two roads where joining. We followed that route and it was a very narrow road. Google pin drop sent by the reception mentioned that we have reached the location. We could not locate the resort anywhere nearby. In the dark we could not locate anything or anyone to ask as we followed that route for almost 500mtrs. No navigation from google as it already stopped its route. It was pitch dark and the road was so narrow with either side some fields / bushy area. We got confused whether we are following the correct route as we were a bit concerned about the remoteness and narrow road in the dark. I had to make another call to the reception to get confirmation whether our direction is correct. It is good to install some direction markers on the road to guide the first time guests to the resort especially since the google map did not work until its correct destination.

Pros: Pretty much everything about the resort - friendly staff, cottage we stayed in, bathroom, quietness of the location, food, architectural style of the buildings and pool.

Cons: A single lane (somewhat narrow) road bridge is the only to access the resort (believe its from either direction). We arrived late in the night in a car and had difficulty finding the signs/direction to the resort. Its totally dark except for headlights. Lighting the signs and/or the bridge would be nice.

Cons: No local travellers. Only westerners visiting. Looks mostly emply. No tv. Frequent power cuts Staff mostly local uneducated.

Pros: Nothing

Pros: Greenery and landscaping in the resort.

Cons: Lot of lizards in the room.

Cons: Service at front desk and service at restaurant was bad. Food quality was bad. Hotel is not maintained well.

Pros: The location was great

Cons: They gave us a room with a bathroom that had no partition in the shower and everyday it would flood after bath !! It's the most expensive hotel in kumbakonam on booking.xom, so we expect some better services!!

Pros: large, bright and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and good restaurant

Cons: bedsheets and towels were stained and were not changed even after we asked. not up to the standard of the rest of the room and hotel which were very comfortable

Cons: The staffs and their rude behavior

Pros: The service of the staff and receptionist was greater to the extent. They didn’t over react but acted gentle and helpful.

Cons: The amenities and services of food can be improved

Pros: Except location nothing

Cons: Nothing I liked it except the location.

Pros: Food was not served in this hotel. There is no vegetarin restaurant This was the biggest drawback. There was no south Indian food available in this temple town hotel.

Cons: The room was ver dirty and I gave this feedback to the reception staff. The bed cover was dirty and full of mosquitoes. The toliet was alo not clean.

Cons: Pretty strong smell of chemical detergents in the room when checking in, but we managed it in 5 minutes by open doors, AC and ventilator

Pros: Clean living room and bathrooms in general

Cons: Internet access was inconsistent.

Pros: Great location and helpful staff. Lots of hot water.

Cons: Rooms were a little run down and smelled of phenyl. No basic toiletries

Cons: The Check-in and Check Out Timings. It doesn't suit the Indian Travelers who normally travel for Socializing or Attending Functions. We reach by early morning and leave by Night. The concept of 12:00 Hrs. Check-in is an indiscriminate adoption of western concept and totally inconvenient

Pros: Rooms are very good and simple

Cons: It was a very good stay at Poppys. But main problem is the sewage water was overflowing in front of the hotel. The place was completely stinking. Hotel management please take this is up with municipal corporation to fix it otherwise it is fantastic hotel

Pros: The rooms were clean. The bathroom was clean. 24 hours hot water was available. Room service/house keeping was very prompt. All staff and front desk personnel were extremely polite and helpful.

Cons: It's an open parking on the side of the road/property pavement which is fine, it's limited spots but they did seem to have some basement parking as well which I personally didn't drive into. But there is slight lack of training for security guards to help back your car out (sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't), as the property is on the corner of a busy street and you are in a complete blind spot of vehicles coming in your direction from the corner curve of the road. It didn't bother me at all to take my car out on any occasion, but my travel companion for this trip (my mother) seemed to think it's an oversight that can be improved on, esp for self driven cars. Luckily this town completely took me by surprise on how extremely well mannered every local was. Properly by far the most well behaved, sincere, helpful and traffic rules adhering locals I have ever met in all my travels. It was SUCH a pleasure and calm experience overall. I still can't believe how every single person I encountered directly or indirectly on the streets, in the temples was so cultered. Kumbakonam might just be my favorite lil town in India based on this reason.

The hot water geyser switch is not in the room but it is in reception and we have to take bath when the management decide to switch on the geyser. And they will switch off the geyser electricity after sometime. If you have not seen the geyser on you will miss the hot water. Inside the room every where dust and there is not place to keep our cloths . next to the hotel a big open space is there and it is stinking with waste and stagnated water. In this place lot of busses and lorries are parked and they will make noise whole night. I have taken photos on on the site. If you want please send me a mail and I will attach and send to you.

Please remove this hotel from the list immediately.
