Hôtel incroyable, super équipe !👍🏻❤️
Pros:

Tout! La chambre s’est avérée être bien plus grande qu’annoncée, plutôt 20 m2 que 15. La chambre est impeccable, les draps sentent bon la lessive, tout est très propre.
Ensuite, l’hôtel est très bien situé un peu en retrait de la route principale. On trouve un magasin de fruits et de pâtisserie à 2´ à pieds, un magasin à 5’ ( sur la droite, trottoir d’en face ), la gare à 10’ ( toujours sur la droite après avoir traversé puis à gauche). Un restaurant végétarien convenable est collé à l’hôtel. La gare de bus, elle est à 4,5 km sur la gauche , mais un bus local dont un arrêt est à 2’, nous y emmène pour 10 roupies.
Et pour finir, ce qui a été le plus agréable pour moi : l’équipe est vraiment extraordinaire, aux petits soins pour les clients, toujours à vérifier qu’on ne manque pas d’eau ou de café… l’attention de l’équipe m’a vraiment touchée car cela est rare dans les hôtels. Ici on a à la fois les avantages d’un bel hôtel et ceux d’une Guest house chaleureuse.
Un grand merci à l’équipe ! 🙏🏻
Quand à la ville en elle même, elle est vraiment très sympathique. Le temple est incroyable et les balades autour des remparts très agréable. Je regrette de n’y avoir séjourné que trois jours. Comparée à Trichy, Thanjavur est vraiment une ville agréable.
