Hotel Gnanam

One of the finest facilities available within Thanjavur city. Hotel is bit old but they offer you all the required amenities. Rooms were very spacious and clean, same with Toilets. There were more than enough supply of toiletries. Location is very convenient and Thanjavur Big temple is less than 1km away. Staff were well behaved and breakfast buffet was good and tasty. Overall a classic stay at budget friendly price.

I’m reviewing the veg restaurant in this hotel. I had the Bombay meal and my friend had the Gnanam Special Meal. The food was excellent. We were served by Shanti who did a great job. She explained in English what each item we were served. The restaurant was very clean and the prices were reasonable. We would eat here again.

I started at Gnanam for two nights in the spacious Executive Suite, at ₹7000 a night. If I were to return to Thanjavur, I would certainly return to Gnanam. The suite was truly a suite, with separate living, dining, and bed rooms. The suite was well equipped with a full-size refrigerator, multiple AC units, and both a bathtub and Indian-style shower. The decor is no longer contemporary, but everything was clean and the furniture is quality. Lunch at their restaurant was fantastic and room service was prompt. Breakfast was okay. Booking and payment was easy. I was able to reserve a room directly through their website, and international credit cards are accepted. When I needed to book a full-day taxi on short notice, the staff were very helpful, and handled it all.

The hotel was has expected. Me faced issue in cleaning my room after my son got a fever vomit where they said that room can be cleaned once a day Alone. Overall amenities are good and excellent

Disappointing Stay – In Need of Serious Improvements The hotel feels old and rundown, with just three floors and an overall dated appearance. While the room is spacious, it’s clearly in need of renovation. A massive wall-mounted air conditioner dominates the space—something you’d expect in budget accommodations. The front desk staff were indifferent and didn’t even provide the Wi-Fi username and password during check-in, which was inconvenient. The bathroom was the biggest disappointment. It still uses a shower curtain, which feels outdated and unhygienic for a hotel, and the water wasn’t hot enough, making showers uncomfortable. Breakfast was another letdown. It started late, and many dishes were empty with long delays before they were refilled. This lack of efficiency was frustrating, especially when expecting a basic level of service. Honestly, the only reason people prefer this hotel is because of its prime location. Without that advantage, it would struggle to attract guests based on its current standards. Overall, the hotel falls short in terms of comfort, service, and amenities. Significant improvements are needed to meet even basic expectations.

In front of guest who is having their breakfast. They cleared all the counters and rushing to close by sharp 10AM. Never seen such buffet breakfast ever in my life. Thankfully i didn't came here for family trip

Beautiful spacious Neat and clean rooms , perfect location , fantastic service, polite and courteous staff , tasty breakfast with good variety, billing and check in very smooth. Highly recommended hotel. We stayed for 1 night but enjoyed the whole experience. Keep it up .

I am very disappointed with the management at this hotel. On our first day, we ordered spaghetti for my daughter, but they did not have it available. The following day, we decided to order it from outside and requested the hotel staff to heat it for us. They refused, claiming it was against their policy to allow outside food. Despite explaining that we had no choice but to bring the food for our child since they couldn't provide it, they insisted we throw the food away and buy from the hotel instead. This felt unreasonable, especially since we were already purchasing other meals from them. On the second day, I asked for a refill of coffee and tea. They provided coffee in a plastic bag, which was already opened—highly unprofessional and unhygienic. Additionally, the pillows in our room were damp, which made our stay uncomfortable. Overall, this experience left us very dissatisfied, and we expected much better service from the management.
