Best Hotels near Podanur Jn, Coimbatore

Three of us spent one night at an executive suite in the Welcomhotel Coimbatore. 1. Let’s begin with the biggest complaint first. Halfway through a morning shower, the hot water simply stopped flowing both from the tap at the washbasin and from the showers too. Took about 15 minutes to resolve so I finished my bath with cold water which isn’t a big deal in a Kovai summer. But this is not something you want to happen at this price point, or, indeed, at a price point half as high as this. More so when you’re occupying an executive suite. Extremely disappointing. 2. There was some confusion at checkout. Our reservation included all 3 meals. And we had signed for one of those meals, and the restaurant had posted it as a bill payable. Reception took a few minutes to sort that out. 3. The lobby almost doesn’t exist. Once you pass through the doors, you are in what can at best be described as a passage facing the reception. This is well-lit, and I do like the aesthetics, but it’s just surprisingly small. Not complaining about this though; I was just amused. 4. We had an a la carte lunch and a buffet dinner. The quality of the food is, overall, good, as you would expect of the ITC group. The food at their Fortune hotels is often very good too. The buffet seemed to play to the crowd a little – there was a little too much tempering, it was a little too strong in its approach. But still, that is nitpicking. A la carte was pretty good. The staff are patient at taking orders and orders are taken seriously. But their knowledge of the menu isn’t sufficient. They have a dish called “ritu ki sabzi” or something of that sort which translates into “seasonal vegetables.” When we asked what the vegetables were this season, the best the waitress could do was to say “carrot” twice. The dish too was something like that: Nothing particularly seasonal about the vegetables. 5. We had an early breakfast. The buffet wasn’t quite ready yet. Nevertheless, the spread on the buffet is satisfactory but not as wide as you would expect. The quality of the food is excellent. The service was mediocre: I ordered a masala dosa which didn’t show up for 10 minutes. On inquiring about it again, the waitress (a different person) thought I was placing a fresh order and informed me that it would take about 10 minutes, a point which was never brought to my notice when I first ordered it. So I ordered a plain dosa instead. 6. Overall, the aesthetics of the hotel are nice. The restaurant, however, is dimmer than I’d like. At dinnertime, there was live music in the restaurant. I suspect that the hotel didn’t think its guests had personalities, because the loud volume made conversation extremely inconvenient. The rhythm was good (because it was essentially a metronome type of thing), the singer might have had some relationship with melody at some point in some life, but his accent made it (un)clear to us that nobody knew what the words of the songs were. 7. The room is well appointed. Once

Hotel chain, economy, Samsung bar, rooms are uniformly arranged, not bad. The breakfast was general and allowed them to make quiche. There is a waiter named Trishna who can speak a few Chinese words. The bath water is sometimes cold and hot. No toiletries and slippers. Put a pair of chopsticks. Except for five stars, all Indian hotels do not have toiletries. Including five stars, all Indian hotels do not have plastic slippers. The surrounding environment is average. Go out and turn left across the road. There is a larger restaurant on the right. Chicken and noodles are not bad. When you go out, turn right 500 meters and there is an alley to go in. There is a restaurant My place, which is not bad. Overall, India's per capita income is much lower than China, but the price of food and beverage is even higher than China!

Good location in down town and nice area with a lot of colleges around the hotel, means safety. Small supermarkets, food stores, small shopping mall are around to the hotel too. Just heavy traffic jam in morning and after office hour peak times. BBQ Foods are nice and there is one very good Chinese/Asia food resturant. We took the sight see here and it is really fantistic place here.

The stay was very nice and rooms are beautifully done up with top of the line amenities in the room provided for the value of money charged. Indian meal, specially South India Cuisine are excellent. Total Veg Hotel, which is the best part. Coming to the service, House keeping staff very polite and kept our room very neat and clean. But the disappointment comes when we had invited a friend for Breakfast and the treatment given by the team was extremely rude, specially from JEEVAN, who felt we were outsiders and there is no entry beyond 1000hrs. We did enter the restaurant at about 0950 and we had guest who is extremely close to your Chairman and he spoken to the Chairman's office also on the same. It was a insult that we faced from the Restaurant manager, we are now closed and no orders will be taken beyond 1000hrs. It was rude and he mentioned the kitchen is closed. We did mention to him due to rain and traffic there was a delay for our guest reaching the hotel and also the parking problem faced. Second is the extreme rude behavior of your front office staff named DURGA and we been in hospitality industry, cannot except such behavior. Rest the hotel staff are good and to mention the lady inlobby area who maintains the cleanness of both the lobby and Toilet areas, always busy with her work and ever so smiling and obliging. Her name is Jayshree

Chose Residency at Coimbatore. I have stayed here earlier too. however now the rooms have been done up all new . The rooms are spotlessly clean with great room service to support. Kudos to the team. Keep up the great work. Will for sure come back.

Superb stay in coimbatore town. Good service. Room was very neat and well maintained. Bathrooms were clean and good. Tea kettles and items are provided. Food served also is tasty. Staff service is superb. Parking area is there for car.

Stayed for a night ...Congested Rooms with no space to move around . Looks like a studio setting rather than a comfortable Room for stay . Cramped look . I stayed here on 23/06 till 24/06 evening.. On the Morning of 24/06 i was asking for a cup of coffee at 0600 hours . Pat ca,me the reply from In Room dining ” Milk not available ..Make your Tea at your Room ” When i told even Tea Bags and water was not availble in Room Hotel was prompt in sending 2 Tea bags and Water ! Some of our family guests who stayed in the same Hotel had ro wait till 0830 for coffee and Milk.We went out ad returned to Room @ 1600 hours to find a messy room with even dust bin not cleaned and towels not changed . A stinking smell with torn curtain . Even when i checked in i noticed dust on the Table and bathroom . Housekeeping is very poor . Infact wnen i was cheking in i used the Rest Room on the Lobby side and was surprised to come across a stinking urinal and toilet . I pointed out this to the Gentyle*** at Reception counter. to make amends . Overall this Place is not good for hygenic stay and for those who prefer prompt and courteous Service . Better to avoid this place .

The hotel is normal, the room is average, breakfast is still alive.
