The hotel showcases beautifully restored architecture that creates an authentic atmosphere full of charm. The rooftop dining area offers refreshing views, though the menu could use some improvement.

The dining experience often falls short, with limited vegetarian options during the buffet and a lack of a la carte choices. The new block rooms are cramped, reminiscent of a budget hotel, while cleanliness issues like dirty floors and neglected maintenance were evident in the common areas and bathrooms.

Consider visiting the local temple nearby for a culturally enriching experience. the staff can guide you.

6/10

They welcomed us with this nice foot massage, but honestly, the food was all over the place. The vegetarian meals? Super spicy and just didn't hit right for my husband. The room was cozy enough, but that shower floor? Slippery like ice! The vibe was kinda rustic, but could use some sprucin’ up.

The final verdict on this

A unique blend of modern amenities and heritage charm awaits you. The rooms shine with spaciousness and intricate details, while the Soukyam spa offers an unparalleled experience. Nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, it's a great base for exploring Thanjavur's culture. Just be ready for mixed experiences with dining options.

My stay at Svatma was delightful, thanks to the warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The stunning architecture, reminiscent of traditional Thanjavur design, combined with the peaceful surroundings created a serene environment perfect for relaxation.

Service speed can improve.

The daily thalis and buffet breakfast were incredible, absolutely bursting with flavors! You can unwind with a soothing full body massage or enjoy some private time in the garden area. My only tiny hiccup was that the room's hot water supply wasn't the best, but it didn’t spoil the experience at all. 🌟

Elegant setting, ideal if you appreciate tranquil gardens and friendly staff.

The Millennium Deluxe room was pretty nice, like a cozy home away from home. There was ample space, and it had a great traditional vibe which I loved. The bathroom was decent, but a bit dim and the shower floor felt slippery. Overall, the room felt calm and relaxing, making it a great spot to unwind after exploring Thanjavur.

service speed needs improvement.

Staying here with friends was fantastic! We loved the traditional Carnatic music concert and enjoyed unwinding at the Soukyam spa. The cultural programs are enjoyable, and the local menu with Western touches was delightful. Everyone was friendly, and we felt immersed in the local culture while enjoying great hospitality and a unique place to relax.

However, we had an issue with our room. It was quite small, and the view was disappointing, overlooking a tin roof, which dampened the ambiance.

Family with children would love it

The staff gave us a lovely warm welcome with traditional gestures, and they were friendly throughout our stay. My kids adored the pool, while I enjoyed the exquisite vegetarian meals that were just amazing.

It wasn’t inexpensive but worth every penny.
