Walkable from the train station, clean room. A quick ride to the temple (which has got all the gopurams covered in scaffolding for refurbishment at the moment which was a shame). Massage chair powerful even on lowest settings so not for the sensitive!

This hotel is a lovely 3 star hotel, I would recommend it if you're travelling in Madurai and is perfectly close to the railway station (just across the road). They have a massage chair in the Royal Suite which was absolutely lovely. This is a really good 3 star hotel, they advised me that they would pack my breakfast as i had an early start but unfortunately they did not do this so I would just say that you may want to reconfirm with them before going to bed. Room service was good too, I was happy as it was only 10 mins from the Thirumalai nayyaker mahal which was 80 rupees in a tuk tuk via Uber.

The room was impossibly dark giving an overall sense of dinginess that under scrutiny was fully deserved. The carpets and furnishings were well worn and there was an overall sense of tired malaise about the whole environment. The much vaunted evening buffet was of a comparable condition having been prepared well in advance of anticipated dining times. Equally the breakfast lacked the freshness of immediate preparation. The staff were enthusiastic and helpful but I suspect needing more guidance in their roles.

It was a very noisy room. With no rubber seal between the window and the frame the noise level was excruciating. The location was great for the sites to be seen.

Business Hotel One Block from Train Station

This is a standard business hotel that is one block from the railroad station and, thus, very convenient for travelers arriving in and/or departing from Madurai by train. The hotel is also a 10-15 minute walk from Meenakshi Temple, which is nice. Other pluses: the rooms and lobby are attractive, and the breakfast buffet was good. But two negatives. First, the bathroom in the room was in significant need of renovation. The fundamental bathroom facilities all worked, but everything looked like it hadn't been updated in 30 years. Second, the service at the front desk was poor. The hotel did not respond to several emails I sent requesting information in advance of my visit and I got an endless run-around when trying to change money at the front desk ("please wait five minutes" and then, five minutes later, "please come back in an hour" and then, an hour later, "Not today -- our accountant has left for the day.") But if those two concerns are not a problem for you and you are ok with a hotel near the train station, then the Royal Court is fine.

Maybe a splurge after 90 days of backpacking?

Probably the Royal Court was once an attempt to be a grand hotel with marble floors and fancy entry hall, but now it is just plain sad and dirty. The faucets and the shower were defective, the carpets were all super stained, the front desk staff were grumpy and unhelpful, and the “concierge” could not speak English. We were directed to have breakfast in a dirty conference room, where no one came to help us with table or chairs or silverware or napkins, because the dining hall was full. The mattress was also smelly and there was a major sewer stench in the bathroom. On the good points, the laundry service was fast, same day service for two shirts, we didn’t get sick after having breakfast there and they give us ample amount of bottled water.

マドゥライの中ではかなりいい方だと思う。 日本と比べると劣る点はあるが、あまり気にならなかった。 従業員も丁寧だし部屋も綺麗だった。 シャワーがぬるいのとトイレに難はあった(洋式だが、ウォシュレットは自分の手で備え付けのシャワーを当てる。トイレットペーパーも少ない)が、このホテルに限った話ではなくインド全体のことらしいので受け入れた。
