The hotel's room allocation process was a total mess, but the room itself was spacious and generous in amenities. The service at the Banyan was exceptionally nice and attentive. The location was magnificent for its pool and accessibility to shops, though disappointment arose with the coffee provided. The dining options were wide-ranging and economical, catering to various preferences.

My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were luxurious and spectacular, set into villas with some offering private pools overlooking a beautiful back yard of banyan trees within green vegetation. The service was exceptional, with super friendly and approachable staff who ensured all guests were well taken care of. The location provided an interesting retreat, a little out of the center of Madurai, offering an authentic South Indian experience and a range of activities from pottery demonstrations to temple tours. The dining experience was varied and satisfying, though I wished for a bit more variety. Overall, a wonderful stay with just a few minor areas for improvement.

The hotel's rooms have a charming heritage touch but lack adequate storage space, though they are clean and comfortable overall. The service is impeccable, with a few exceptional staff members.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated with towel art and flowers. The large windows allowed for natural light to brighten up the room, and having a private mini pool attached was a luxurious touch. The garden view from the big balcony was perfect for relaxing with a morning tea, although I wish there was more sunlight in our room.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were simply amazing, offering a perfect mix of modern and antique architecture. As a family with 2 kids, we found our room to be spacious, comfortable, and full of character. The service was exceptional, with the staff presenting towels and linen with care, and being incredibly warm and friendly throughout our stay. The location provided privacy despite being in the center of the hotel, and the facilities were top-notch. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, but overall, it's a must-visit in Madurai.

The hotel had huge rooms with a separate living room, bedroom, and bathroom, but there were many mosquitos the first night. The rooms looked a bit basic and in need of refreshment, with a blind falling down on our second morning. The service was sweet but needed reminders for supplies and lacked privacy due to constant staff presence. The location was interesting but could be slippery when rainy, offering a deserted and relaxing atmosphere after temple touring. The dining was too oily, and the outdoor restaurant was just okay. The facilities were plain, requiring updates. The hotel's historical location offers an intriguing ambiance, but improvements are needed in maintenance and privacy.

The hotel has a garden view with a big balcony for relaxing mornings and lovely bathrooms, but the rooms were boring and had mosquitoes. The service was attentive but more biased towards foreign tourists. The location is convenient, but the surroundings had fallen leaves. The dining experience was disorganized and poor in quality, although they had a decent coffee machine.
