Accomodation in Thanjavur
Where To Stay - Lower
Most of the hotels are on Gandhiji Rd, between the railway and bus stations, or on Trichy Rd, behind the railway station. There are six big clean railway retiring rooms at the station.
The Raja Rest House by the Hotel Tamil Nadu, has rooms with bath. It is a very good value and is the recommended budget place.
The Ashoka Lodge, 93 Abraham Pandithar St, has nicer rooms on the second floor that the first, but it isn't such a good place. The Sri Mahalakshmi is centrally located.
The Hotel Anand, 1 Racquet Court Lane, and Hotel Arun, 24 State Bank Road, are both nice places.
Where To Stay - Middle & Higher
The Hotel Tamil Nadu Gandhiji Road, is the best place to stay in town. It has both Indian style and western style bathrooms with hot water in the morning. Most rooms have balconies, set around a courtyard. The problem with this hotel is that it is usually heavily booked, so you most likely cannot stay here. You can book in advance at a Tamil Nadu Tourist Office or another Tamil Nadu hotel in another city. It was once a Raja's guest house and is a good value with good service. It has comfortable clean rooms with A/C. The Hotel Tamil Nadu II is run down.
The Hotel Valli, 2948 MKM Rd, has rooms with A/C. It has a vegetarian restaurant.
The Hotel Sangam, Trichy Rd, has A/C rooms. The Oriental Towers, 2889 Srinivasam Pillai Rd, has rooms. Both these hotels have good facilities.
The Pandiyar Residency, Cutchery Rd, in a new place. All rooms have a TV, and the deluxe rooms have a view of the temple. The Hotel Parisuthan 55 Grand Anicut Canal Rd, is the best hotel in town, and everything looks neat and clean. It has a pool and comfortable rooms with A/C. It also has deluxe rooms and suites.
