Serving vessels shortage

Breakfast is good taste of chettinad style

Better written instruction in each bedroom on how to use facilities (tv, air conditioning, hot water etc) would have saved us keep asking Nagarajan!

Nagarajan the manager always helpful, friendly and efficient. He arranged wonderful rickshaw drives for two days to explore all the key sites in the locality. If you want an authentic stay in a Chettinad mansion which hasn’t been over westernised or made over luxurious in its restoration , this is the place. The quiet village has many unrestored and deserted mansions to look at

Nothing

Great experience to stay in a Chettinad house. Rooms are simple, but complete.

While the staff were kind and helpful, the amenities could be better. It's a basic stay at a good looking manor.

Clean stay

My husband was quite unwell during our stay. The staff went above and beyond to help us, including organising for a doctor to visit. We were particularly grateful for the kind support of the manager Mr Nagarajan.

Nothing at all

The Chettinad manor is located in a small village next to the main heritage village of Kanadukathan. The location is extremely peaceful and walking/cycling around the village is a joy! This village also has a few Chettiar mansions, temple ponds and fields. The Chettinad manor itself was comfortable and clean with a nice breakfast. The room has all the amenities for a short stay and is great value for money. They also have two cycles which they give free of cost and that is a great way to explore the surrounding areas! Finally, Mr. Nagaraj is a nice manager of the property who is very helpful and friendly.

The location is a bit awkward for getting around Chettinadu. A rickshaw or taxi is required to see anything.

Lovely staff, great food, and comfortable beds.

Comfortable stay , staff was very polite and friendly, food was good

They don't have room service and the nearest hotel is kilometers away. So food is an issue and mind you it is not in the famous karaikudi town but about 10kms away from it.

The place is a 99yrs old chettinadu style mansion converted to a hotel. With that comes the old world charm older era fittings decor and aesthetics. The manager went out of his way to attend to me as I was riding solo on a motorcycle across tamilnadu Room is comfortable and big. bathroom is big enough. Lot of common area space to hang out and do photoshoot 😜

Rooms had no amenities, no cupboards, not even a shelf to keep the bags. No mirrors in the bathrooms, bathroom towel racks too high so small kids and old people might find it difficult. Showers not working. Being a new property these could be teething issues. They need to make these small changes.

Nice new rooms, spacious in size. It was neat and clean, staff very helpful.

Bathroom lighting was dull and need extra cleaning

Very beautiful property with Chettinad concept. Breakfast is free and felt like a home cooked food. Staffs were so friendly and helpful.

Bathrooms are very bad - no space to put anything, water from the shower falling everywhere even on the toilet since there is no division between the two, the washing basin is too small to wash and the tap in the corner makes it difficult even to wash a hand. Besides, the bathroom isn’t very clean, the floor and walls are of some plastic-like material (?) and the bed sheets had stains (I’m not sure if changed after every guest). Then on the first floor there was a hole in the floor, about 2 by 2 meters, one floor deep and completely unmarked. What would they do if someone fell in and died, or broke legs? I can’t imagine. They are still renovating and it might have been a shaft for a lift. But yes, you walk and there is a one-floor-deep drop without any marking or closure. Then one day at 5.30 am a group of 60 school children checked in. You can imagine the noise. This shows no consideration for the other guests. Payment is cash only and the receipt is a piece of paper from a notebook. If you need to declare the costs, forget it.

It is a beautiful house and could be a true gem if properly arranged and managed. Breakfast was very good and sufficient. The area is pretty and calm. The girl working at the guesthouse is very nice.

No space inside or outside to sit and relax.

Interesting location. Friendly staff. Excellent food.

Stayed in February 2024

It's still a work in progress so some areas not finished. Not quite as luxury as they like to make out. Other eating options are very limited.

It's a nice location on the edge of a quiet village with a lovely temple pond very near which is nice to watch the sunset. Plenty of mansions in the village too. The rooms are clean and comfortable with hot water shower. Food is tasty but limited menu and timings - don't expect a restaurant. It's easy to walk to the main road and catch buses to different places if you don't have a car.

The place has great potential, but could be a bit better managed and the staff more professional. Could be cleaner. The food was nice and fresh.

Nice breakfast, beautiful building, and very good localization.
