Guest Reviews

• Dr Mrs Robin (9/5): This is a nice hotel in the middle of everything. - We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Gnanam. We loved the design of the room with a sitting area, desk, large bed and refrigerator. It was nice to have a luggage rack. The hotel is in the center of town. It is loud and exciting. We found if we closed the bathroom doors that the noise quieted down. We loved being so close to everything. The veg breakfast was fine with fruit and yogurt… and they have the best black coffee! The other restaurant at the end of the parking lot was very nice with lots of choices hot spice and not hot spice, vegetarian and meat lovers, alcohol and no alcohol. We very much enjoyed our six days in Thanjavur at this hotel. We had a lovely stay.
• victoria (9/5): Great location and comfortable spot to explore Thanjavur from - Lovely spacious room great breakfast Shower was not great
• VELAVAN (1/5): -
• Ebinesan (6/5): - Good
• Iris (7/5): -
• Sri Devi Peethamparam (4/5): Totally dissatisfied & disappointed - Not informed that Renovation was happening...Rooms were extremely dusty. Should hv updated in Booking.com earlier about renovations do we could choose other hotels to stay. Over priced for the facilities.
• Anand (10/5): -
• G (6/5): NEED IMPROVEMENT ON STAFF STRENGTH N FOOD SERVICE - THERE IA NO ADEQUATE STAFF STRENGTH. NEED TO IMPROVE. ROOM SERVICE NOT DELIVERED THOUGH SERVICE WAS AVAILABLE ON THE CARDS. COFFEE/TEA WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT EARLY MORNING (even @ 6 am)
• Ravi (4/5): -
• S (9/5): - Very Good Hotel location wise
• Jean François (10/5): - Pour une étape d'une ou deux nuits, cet hôtel est très bien. Le personnel patient et réactif. Chambre impeccable. Bon petit déjeuner. Rien en particulier mais l'hôtel est situé sur une assez grosse artère sans charme.
• Daniela Maria (4/5): -
• Serena (8/5): -
• Haridas (9/5): Nice short & sweet stay - Breakfast was good. Location is apt. Rooms are clean Tariff seems to be high. Rooms could have been bigger
• Dalim Kumar (8/5): -
• Thierry (9/5): Perfection - We were 9 in 3 rooms. Everything was perfect. Rooms were very clean. All equipments were great. The restaurant next to the hotel was really good with high quality service.
• Jenny (7/5): Charming well priced hotel but needs pool or garden to sit out. - Staff charming and friendly. Junior suite was great good AC comfortable bed. Quiet. Pure veg restaurant meant no breakfast eggs so need to be ready for limited choices. . There is a bar next door for wider breakfast choices. And one can get a beer there and dinner. Hotel was great but city of Tanjevore has not much to see so 2 days covers it. It was hot so we had to stay at hotel during middle of the day but no outdoor area to sit and No pool. 3 days was too long. Missed finding walking streets. Area around bus station not interesting or pleasant to walk unlike North Indian cities. Temples were wonderful but auto is needed. Streets around hotel not pleasant with heavy traffic.
• SRINIVAS (7/5): By and large OK - Location is good. Had no breakfast Property seems little bit older, can be maintained more decently.
• ROBERT (9/5): Ideale Lage, perfekte Ausstattung, freundliches Personal -
• Michał (8/5): - Good location, friendly stuff. The breakfast should be served from 7 but it’s not. We had to leave at 7.30 but they were not ready with breakfast until 7.25
• cinzia (7/5): - Peccato non ci sia la colazione
• René (9/5): Prima hotel voor een nachtje Thanjavur… - Onze kamer was veel beter dan we, afgaande op sommige matige reviews, verwacht hadden. Comfortabel, netjes en schoon, met goede bedden en een prima badkamer (alles werkte en zag er goed onderhouden uit). We zaten in een rustige vleugel aan de achterkant van het hotel, dus totaal geen overlast van het drukke verkeer. Het balkon was een fijne bonus, ook al stonden er geen stoelen op. In het hotel zit bovendien een goed vegetarisch restaurant (Sahana). De Brihadeeswara-tempel ligt op loopafstand, al voert de route ernaartoe langs een drukke en vieze weg (dus voor de terugweg hebben we een riksja genomen). Tot slot: erg vriendelijk personeel.
• Mario (8/5): -
• Benoit (6/5): - Salle de bain vétuste.
• Bernard (7/5): Ressonable hotel on central location - Value for money, central location Noisy neighbourhood but interesting at the same time and centrally located. Breakfast was not attrsctive ag all for foreigners. Bathroom a bot oldish.
• Rebecca (8/5): A comfortable, well-priced hotel close to Thanjavur’s palace and main temple - Breakfast buffet was excellent! Easy walk to the palace. Appreciated having both veg and non-veg restaurants adjacent to the hotel. We asked the hotel to arrange a driver to our next location. The car and driver were both very good.
• Soudhamini (10/5): I will definetly stay there only if I visit again - The location was excellent being close to the Big temple and Palace.Breakfast was awesome and tasty and room was indeed comfortable.I will defintely stay there if i visit thanjavur and also recommend to friends Fully met my expectations and nothing to complain.
• Dawn (7/5): Nice comfortable hotel. Staff excellent - The staff were very helpful. Room a nice size and bed linen lovely. Busy location but we knew it was near the bus station so we knew it would be busy. The breakfast was marvellous. The whole hotel was looking a little worn and jaded . It could do with a spruce up with the decor
• Josep (10/5): -
• Liam (7/5): Decent, comfortable stay. - Big, comfortable room. Good breakfast. Rooms at the front are very noisy. The hotel organised a driver for a day trip for us. He was not a good driver and I had to navigate for him. Not good value.
• Kim (10/5): -
• Véronique Lonchamp (8/5): - Vu le prix, on aurait pu s'attendre à une meilleure qualité des équipements, notamment dans la salle de bain vieillotte
• Gery55 (8/5): Bon hôtel central - Très propre. Grande chambre fonctionnelle et agréable. Bien placé à 5mn en tuk tuk du grand temple. Restaurant sur place.

• Niranjan (8/5): -
• Grainne (5/5): - The bed was comfortable, but pillow was poor. The shower was a bit grubby and the loo flush didn’t work properly. Internet was poor. The room was noisy. The breakfast was very limited; eggs were not even an option. The restaurant Diana ( attached to the hotel) was pretty good.
• michel (7/5): decent hotel for short stay at low budget. - a good basic hotel, as expected for the reasonable cost. Decent value. could have been cleaner. breakfast could be improved. Basic facility for driver, but staff would smoke where drivers are supposed to sleep. That was a problem.

• Sunethra (9/5): - The room was squeaky clean. The breakfast was good and the location was very convenient. I loved the ambience that reflected the place. Nothing in particular.
• Amit (7/5): -
• Suresh (9/5): -
• Dexx (8/5): Correct - Fonctionnel et bien placé, petit-déjeuner simple mais correct. Ok sans plus. Les chambres situées sur le côté droit donnent directement sur le conduit de ventilation du centre commercial voisin, qui fait un bruit énorme et fait trembler les murs. Ça s'arrête vers 22h30, mais ça repart à 6h. Pas dingue si vous prévoyez de dormir tard.
• Divya (9/5): -
• Jagadhish (10/5): Very comfortable room, excellent staff, great breakfast at the hotel - Excellent value for money Truly 3 star Meets everything that it claims to be Nothing
• K K (9/5): -
• Vanessa (9/5): -
• Sampa (9/5): A good and safe stay. would surely recommend friends and relatives. - Big and comfortable room with good ambience. Healthy & tasty breakfast. Location is quite nearer to main sight-seeing points like Brihadeeshwar Shiva temple, Bird Sanctuary and main market just opposite the hotel. All good
• Raj (7/5): -
• Maria (9/5): Ottimo - Posizione centrale, camera con balcone e affaccio centrale. Letti comodi.
• Suresh (8/5): Convenient Location Near the Temple, Average Overall Experience - Pros: The hotel is well located in the market area and is just a 10-minute walk from the Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar Temple, and the room itself was comfortable. Cons: The bathroom was quite compact, the complimentary vegetarian breakfast was average, packaged water bottles were charged above MRP, and customer service was limited as the hotel is usually very busy due to its location.
• Carolyn (10/5): - comfortable room, fantastic restaurants and good laundry service. Hotel is in an excellent location
• RAJESH (10/5): -
• Leah (8/5): -
• Kalyan Reddy (10/5): -
• Shariga (8/5): - Zeer goede service en behulpzame personeel. Perfecte locatie midden in het centrum, met op loopafstand de pracht en praal Thanjavur Brihadisvara tempel. Nette kamers en schone, ruime badkamer. En een heerlijk ontbijt! Al met al een aanrader.
• Biscossi (9/5): Un soggiorno oltre ogni aspettativa - Buona e servizio ottimo Sono stata poco tempo in hotel, ma sono stata veramente soddisfatta. Ci tirnerei senza alcun dubbio
• mascia (8/5): -
• mascia (9/5): Vero 3 stelle - Camere ampie e spaziose molto pulita e personale molto cordiale. La colazione era buffet e molto buona, per i nostri standard europei un po piccante. La sera abbiamo mangiato sempre in hotel perché su richiesta ci facevano quello che volevamo perché era fatto al momento e nulla preparato prima, super esperienza con la signora Shanti (l’unica che parlasse inglese come cameriera) molto premurosa e gentile sempre sorridente MOLTO APPREZZATO Nulla
• Bharat (9/5): -
• Manch Joshi (8/5): Comfortable stay with lovely breakfast - The breakfast had a good selection and was excellent quality in terms of taste. Staff were happy to take orders for freshly made items. Check in was slow, with multiple forms to be filled in. Needs to be improved
• Greg (10/5): -
• Siju (10/5): Excellent Hotel in Tanjavur - Our stay at Hotel Gnanam was truly a delightful experience. The entire property is exceptionally clean and impeccably maintained. Both the rooms and bathrooms were spotless, offering a sense of comfort and care that immediately put us at ease. Every member of the staff—across all departments—was unfailingly polite, professional, and attentive. A special mention goes to the outstanding housekeeping team, whose dedication was evident throughout our visit. The restaurant was equally impressive, with a tasteful and immaculately clean interior. Breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of fresh and flavorful options. The South Indian Thali Meals were particularly remarkable—beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay truly memorable. We look forward to returning. It would be great if you increase a little more premium toiletries.
• Puva (10/5): -
• pekakuli itty (10/5): Modern Heritage Hotel at City Centre - hotel is located close to the Brihadishwara temple,Maratha Palace, with budget veg and nonveg restaurants in walking distance. Just one Km away from Thanjavur train station. Excellent breakfast, powerfull shower, 24 hrs hot water, very effective air conditioner, spacious room. Three wheelers easily available to travel everywhere. To appreciate glory of the Main temple, see it before 10 AM, when the sun is on the East(temple opens 6AM to 8PM), again after 5 PM, when sun is on the opposite side. views of the tower are different. Do not miss lighting of the Temple complex, at 7PM. The collection of Sculptures, bronzes exquisite in the maratha palace. Also Finest collection of bronze Nataraja Statues, that we have seen in all our extensive travels in India.
• Brigitte (8/5): -
• Suvasree (9/5): - Amazing Location, 10 to 15 min walk to bog temple. Spacious room with all the basic amenities. Friendly staff. Good in house restaurant. It is in the market hence everything available in short walk. Hotel is old, hence bathroom fittings are not great. Bathroom needs more attention.
• Phiroz (5/5): - Location and breakfast are fine and the staff are courteous and friendly. The room has poor maintenance. Hot water did not come in the first room. Neither did the in room phone work Wi-Fi signal is poor in the room. Switched the room still the same issue. Ultimately after raising the issue for two days it was solved.
• Mughi (7/5): -
• Alex (9/5): -
• Elena (9/5): In the heart of Thanjavur - The staff was initially a bit overchallenged, but made efforts to fulfill our needs. The two restaurants in the hotel were very good and the buffet-breakfast had a large choice. The wi-fi was shaky.
