There are not many alternatives for hotels in Thanjavur, but I found the Oriental Towers not so bad as reviews lead me to believe. Yes, it is not a honeymoon hotel, some floors are in need for renovation and the proximity to the train station does not make it a quite location. But my room was spacious, perfectly clean, with... more

Rough Guide describes this hotel as "luxurious." I don't think so. Rooms are OK and moderately clean but decidely at odds with the grandeur of the lobby. The restaurant is simply laughable. No beverages except juice for lunch. Seriously, I had to leave the restaurant and buy my own water. It took literally 45 minutes to get a cup of... more

A very bad smell that would wake you up in the night and make you gag. Overall, the hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade.... more

Foyer is beautiful, meeting areas in upper hall ways are very nice also. The shrines can be seen from some upper windows, No internet in the rooms but an Internet cafe is next door. Dining rooms are very efficient and serve traditional cusine. Security is top notch. Rooms are a bit small but clean. Bathrooms have , no face cloth.... more
