Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My Parents & I visited Madurai-during March 2011;We booked Meenakshi's Sunshine after going thru the reviews in internet-& we never regretted this !!Some local people discouraged us-citing its distance from railway station & other local places; & urged us to cancel the booking-but we didn't give up & were much rewarded for our decision;Yes,the rooms are so well maintained;they are exactly as shown in brochures;service is good;the food is also OK-but,it would be more useful,if they serve South Indian Meals too-atleast for aternoon & Night-The tariff is reasonable for the rooms & etc;they also arrange cars if you request-for sightseeing/others.I always look forward to visiting Meenakshi's in future & enjoyed every bit of stay there;

We booked the hotel through phone few days in advance of reaching it. Still, the reception male staff was unconvincing about our booking. He treated us as if we were trying to deceive him about our booking. During booking itself, we have explained about the purpose and check-in and check-out times. Despite this, he was continuously asking about our purpose of visit. He seemed to be totally unconvinced about our purpose of stay. He was showing his face and seemed so much rude. It was a very unwelcoming gesture shown by him towards us. Food, room amenities, and parking area were good. However, since the first impression itself turned sour, we were not feeling comfortable during our entire stay.

You will not feel like a hotel but you will feel like a home . Nice food , clean and neat restaurant . You can extra common hall in each floor that is plus point in this hotel than any other hotel. Reception staffs Karthick,Sangeetha,Jegatha (these three people will welcome u always with a smile) are good caring people ..... love to stay in this hotel .... Restaurant staff are good ..... new plans like cycle ride may attract few more guest.... u can have a small gym and if possible small swimming pool.

A good budget hotel located close to Madurai Matuthavani bus stand and next to Meenakshi Mission Hospital. Serves good food and in large quantity at affordable price. It also has a small bar attached to the hotel.

This was our second stay at Meenakshi's sunshine and we absolutely regret having decided to stay there the second time around.

The so called 'luxury' room was tacky and seemed miniscule. It was definitely far from 'luxurious'. The furniture was broken in many places. The dustbin pedal was broken and on complaining, the staff casually informed us that they dont have any others. The place is swarmed with giant mosquitos and the staff seemed reluctant to give even a mosquito repellant. The food is below average. The staff is the worst I have seen. They are rude and uncaring. When we asked for the extra bed, instead of the usual cot, they put a torn and worn mattress on the floor and the staff told us that's all they have. We had to have it changed after a strong word with the reception people.

Breakfast turned out to be a complete  disaster. The dining area was miniscule and extremely cramped and dirty looking. The food choices were very limited and they refused to serve something as basic as oats!

Our experience there this time around was in stark contrast to our previous stay about 8 months back. The place has gone to the dogs. Our experience was terrible and I would never go back to this dump.

This is not a hotel for tourist. Only inpatient relationsof the meenakshi hospital can stay there. Not a single chair or table inside the room. Very worst room designing. All the fittings and interior is good. But due to poor room design everything wasted. Hospitality and food is good. Staff are courteseous. Unfortunateley a worng place to stay.
