Mayiladuthurai Hotels from HK$78

The property's biggest draw is its location, right on the beach next to the Danish fort. The building is a heritage building which has been beautifully restored, with quaintly named rooms, each of which appears to have a different colour scheme, with antique furniture and 4 poster beds. The staff are always smiling and ever ready to go the extra mile. The choice in the restaurant is good; however we tried the biryani which was not up to the mark, whereas the continental food was very good. Morning breakfasts were very good with a choice of western as well as South Indian dishes. The swimming pol was unfortunately closed and has been since the onset of Covid, but this fact is not mentioned anywhere online. There was a slight musty smell in our room, perhaps because of the very old nature of the building. The bathroom was very narrow, with difficulty in opening the door if there was already someone standing at the sink. In view of its rural location and lack of full 5 star facilities, the property should consider reducing their daily rates.

Loved this property and it was such an oasis of comfort and luxury. The resort did look like it needed some gardening, but the rooms were fabulous and staff very helpful. Loved the food as well.

The main door of the room having problem, not able to open or close properly, it’s too hard. Ladies will not be able to open or close the door, it will be too hard. The bathroom was not clean, the closet was clean but the bathroom tiles was bad. The Room and bed were comfortable. Staff were polite and friendly.
