    Extremely small room (claustrophobic) no windows,no ventilation,, unclean, cockroaches and spiders, bathroom smells bad, AC room but really of no quality - lots of noise from adjacent rooms Uncomfortable coir/spring beds - one cannot sleep if with partner Although place is near to temple and good for a place to take bath, change of cloths etc but I would not recommend stay. For the purpose mentioned it's charged a lot. We paid 2000 rupees for one night - excessively charged

    Hotel is very close to the temple and also just opposite to sea. Nice hygienic and clean rooms. Staff is very cooperative. Overall a good experience and I would recommend everyone here for a comfortable stay.

    Hotel staff is very humble and supportive. If vehicle can not reach up to hotel, they will send a staff person with tricycle to take all luggage. Hotel is very near to beach and rameshwaram temple. Walkable distance. Rooms were very clean and big. They take care very well of the guests. Very much satisfied with the hotel management and rooms.

    Unreasonably highly rated. No where near 4.6 as I came across. Triple room is too small. No restaurant. King size bed is in bad condition. They don't provide clean bed sheet for using with blanket. Blankets are used by multiple uses without being washed Only Positive point is that the staffs and manager working there are very good and polite.

    Rooms are very nice... Staffs are friendly too.... Car accessibility is very poor... You have to park your car in a ground which 600mts away from the hotel but the hotel staffs will help you carrying luggage... hotel is very close to the temple though....

    Location is the only advantage, the road is very small and difficult to park ur car and shift luggage. At first i asked them for car parking and they said it's available but later found out it is a shared parking 500mtrs away. The rooms are very tiny and dirty bed sheets. Found cockroachs and other insects inside. Hot water has to be arranged every time and even drinking water is not given. They just lie about everything.

    I had a pleasant stay with my family during my visit to the holy place on 22.10.23. Really nice location, near the temple only and very neatly kept rooms were given. Thank you Vel residency.

    First of all this is not a 3 star hotel , its a lodge , they dont have lift , it is difficult to climb stairs for older people . for hot water you need to call reception as they have the geyser switch with them for each individual room. there were cockroaches everywhere and ants , they dont have parking space and you need to walk some distance from main road to reach hotel from your parking area . only advantage is this lodge is 400 meters from main temple . i recommend staying in any other hotel which is far from temple and ask your driver to drop off near west gate from where you can directly enter into temple.

    Hotel is close to the temple. However the hotel and rooms are very dirty. We booked 2 rooms, there were spider webs on the roof, spider close to the beds, cockroaches in the room, small red germs in washroom water. Everytime the staff asks for tip, you need to call at the reception everytime and ask them to start the supply of hot water. Headboard of the bed falls down, bedsheets were dirty. Washrooms are very tiny.

    Hotel was good near to auto stand and Agni tirtham... Bed was good... Wifi was provided...we had 2 rooms...1 room was very good...but other room had AC issue which they didn't address suitably in our 2 days stay... Second concern was they arranged a cab with again ac problem and driver who doesn't speak or understand English or Hindi for which we faced lot of difficulties... Beside this time wise driver didn't creat any issue and was helpful with his limited sign language... Weather was humid and hot as we visited in june..

    It's the most terrible experience I ever had. Owner is so rude and has utter lack of respect or care for customers. AC doesn't work, dirty blanket and sheets, flush doesn't work Just terrible in every possible way. My Nightmare was over, when I checked out. They are so greedy that they were asking 2k more for a slightly bigger room. Pls avoid avoid avoid

    The staff of the hotel is very polite and understanding, the hotel is very clean and neat, room service is all time available and cooperative, beyond this, the best part is the terrace, even if the hotel is 40m from the beach and 150m from temple, if you don't feel like leaving the room, you can just enjoy the sea breeze from the terrace.

    Zero star! I had booked a triple luxury room via makemytrip holiday tour package. They did not had WIFI signal coming in the room . On complaining number of times, the staff kept giving different excuses, even kept laughing at the problem. It felt like I was staying in a Dharmsala but not a three star hotel. Very unhygienic, very rude and unprofessional hotel staff and receptionist. I will never stay in this hotel ever.

    Location: Closed to the Temple and Sea. Vehicle is not that much accessible to that road. The road is too narrow. Only bikes can go at Normal traffic days. Parking: Parking is 400m far from the Stay. Room: The rooms are stinky as well as the bathrooms. Found uncleaned cups and plates inside the cupboard ( They might have forgotten to clean ). They put over perfume before entering the room. After 2-3 Hours you can smell stinking bad. AC is okay. The bathroom is bad. Bidet spray is not clean 🤢. No exhaust Fan in the bathroom. The horrible thing is, I found Red worms in the water ( Video for Reference ) . Geyser power is switched ON on Phone request to reception. DTH / Cable is not recharged ( Pic for reference ). Service: Room service is good and quick. Cost: Bit costly than normal 2 Star Hotel.

    Best experience. I have booked 3 rooms, but not for me actually. I booked it for my parents & family. First time I heard good words about girls in my dad's mouth. He's particular about everything & he loves everything about the hotel. From welcome to good bye everything was excellent. Thanks Team vel residency Rameshwaram

    Nice clean room with all basic necessities. The rooms do not have any view but they have an excellent terrace with sea view. The location is fantastic - near the temple and also near the beach. We had to pay the entire amount during check in and also they do not accept any other form of payment except cash which is not a norm in a standard hotel. Staff is friendly and Mr Prasath helped us with booking a car. Overall very nice for a stay in Rameshwaram.

    This place fits your budget with a mesmerizing location (sea front and walking to temple). The owner is a perfect host you ever had experienced. Very polite, kind and helpful. Room service and hospitality is great!! Totally recommending to everybody out there😍

  • 2/5 Sandeep B. 1 year ago on Google
    Only good thing would be it's close to temple and room was clean. But the room is so small it felt claustrophobic. Could barely sleep with that feeling. More than 2 people can't fit into the room. No parking space nearby. That arrange parking in another place some 200 metres away. No restaurant as well but you can walk and get any nearby. Mostly room was damn small and not even a small balcony

    This is one of the worst experience I had in my life with hotel stay. Washroom is very dirty, stinky along with bucket and mug. Room is very suffocating, no ventilation is available. The hot water and geyser tap was giving current, it was not safe to use. Hotel should start 24hr checkin policy, as everyone will not reach there at 12pm. Other places hotel where we stayed at Madurai and Kanyakumari have this policy but here we payed extra though we have a booking for same day. Though the hotel was empty staff denied us the rooms saying rooms are not available and when we agreed to pay extra they gave us the room despite having the on-line booking. Please avoid this hotel if you are visiting Rameshwaram.

    Rooms are good for the price, very close to the temple. The owner is very warm and nice.tries to help even with full rush.. staff are good too. Note : please don't consider their suggested travel agency for any service, SKS travel agency is the worst and travel agency Owener Satish doesn't have basic manner to speak with customer, basically an uneducated waste fellow who thinks he is so rich and thinks others are beggars, first tries to cheat if he is confronted his reply is go by bus and leave his third grade vehicle.

  • 3/5 Ravi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is really near sea shore. Temple is nearby. Staff are really friendly and helpful. But place is really in between narrow lanes. Their parking space is bit away from the hotel and not within prmises. Staff are the best at this place. Room are small.

    A bad stay experience indeed ! We had booked at this hotel through GoIbibo for two nights. First impressions : the hotel is located a stone throw’s distance away from Agniteertham (where you take a dip in the calm ocean before you go for Darshan), the hotel is located in a narrow street where you shouldn’t go with your vehicle but they have a private parking located 100 metres before the hotel where you can go and park your vehicle. The hotel’s staff including the owner came across as decent people and room was fairly okay wherein the washroom could have been more clean for the price you pay per night compared to other properties in this area. The worst part however came later into the night as we were hoping to get a good night’s sleep after driving for over 12 hours to Rameswaram. There was a rowdy and extremely noisy group of people who checked in around 5 am in a room at the top floor as our room and made life hell with their chaotic behaviour that came straight out of a Fish Market scene. We contacted the Hotel Management including the owner to calm these urchins down but in reality the owner didn’t make any serious attempt to ensure that the noise levels came down and in the end left the matter to be settled between us and them. Later on instead of being regretful and trying to control this situation for the next night this particular group’s behaviour was being sort of justified by the owner that they had children (these were 15-16 years old so called children) and that’s why they were uncontrolled and blah blah…we had to drive next day for close to 12-15 hours and instead of wasting another night with the iditiotic chaos that was to follow, we decided to checkout a day early. You may have all the amenities of the World in a Hotel but if you can’t peacefully sleep at Night as that’s the bare minimum requirement when I look at a place to stay then everything else is useless to me. No refunds, we wasted our night and money, expected better response from management but they were not interested at all, please do think twice before staying here considering the aforementioned points, next time I am going to book a lodge as so many of them are located in the vicinity at 1/3rd of the price. The only reason I booked this property considering there will be some minimum set of standards maintained and basic rules enforced but alas it was a disappointing experience indeed.

    The hotel is at the prime location if we consider the Rameswaram temple as the go to place to visit in Rameswaram!!! I felt the rooms are a bit conjusted and should have been a bit more spacious according to me!!! Staff is pretty decent and get you whatever is required for your needs!!! But I would request the staff to not poke any customer going forward at dot 12 PM for checkout, it is very irritating when travelling with elders and a 2 years kid!!! Rest all seemed okay and it was a good experience but could have a very good experience if the above two points are well corrected!!!
