Review Summary

Powered by Myra.AI

The property enjoys a great location, just a short walk from the Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple. Guests appreciate the clean and well-maintained rooms, along with the friendly and helpful staff. However, many have mentioned that the rooms are quite small, and some faced issues with bathroom sizes and maintenance. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly option suitable for short stays.

Terrible Stay

aadhi.family

“The hotel’s website showed a spacious room with a separate bedroom for families, but the actual room was completely different when I visited. The room had mosquitoes, only two fans, and very poor lighting. I gave the hotel a poor rating.”

A functional room for one day stay

balamuralidhar p.couple

It was a functional stay good enough for one day temple visit.Sriranganatha temple Rajagopuram was at a walkable distance. Though looks not impressive from outside and has to climb a narrow stairway to reach reception, the rooms were clean though small. Staff was very helpful and cooperative.Breakfast delivered in the room was very good with South Indian varieties.

ujjval v.

I had a wonderful stay at Paavai Hotel. The owners were extremely polite and welcoming, ensuring a comfortable experience. They provided water and food generously, making the stay even more pleasant. One of the best parts was their helpful nature—they guided me well regarding my visit to the temple and the nearby bus stand, which was truly appreciated. The only downside was that it felt a bit too hot, but apart from that, everything else was excellent. Overall, a great experience with warm hospitality! Would definitely recommend it to others.
