Svatma - A Luxury Heritage Resort

The hotel was fabulous and the staff wonderful but we had a distinct feeling that we had arrived at the end of the season and things were being wound down. There were items off the menu, there was no beer and the lift was awaiting a repair. Saying that, I'm sure that this hotel would be superb because the staff were so nice, the place was so immaculately kept and the room was just gorgeous.

Stayed in Svatma, Tanjaor on 16th May 2025 wirh family and it was the worst hotel experience I ever had. 1: Rooms were not clean especially the toilet. Water stain on the mirrors and wall. 2: Used bath gels (small bottles not big ones) 3: No brush/toothpaste provided. 4: No mini bar. There was a note that they have emptied the mini bar so that we can keep our stuff. 5: TV was not working. No channels, it always played the hotel AD. 6: Wifi was not functioning. It never accepted the passwords given for both the rooms. 7': There was no coffee and sugar packets available in one of the rooms. 8: Pool was under maintenance 9: There was no traditional welcome as indicated in the itinerary. 10: Worst thing - there was no light in the dining area the entire duration of our breakfast. When we asked about the power backup they said power will be restored soon but it nothing happened. We finished our breakfast without light😡 I had booked Svtma based on the reviews but I never had such a bad experience from any hotels - even the cheapest ones do a better job than this. I would never recommend it to anyone. Prem pillai

The rooms are large and well appointed but the general area whilst very smart felt lacking. The restaurant is ok but we avoided the buffet as felt limited and over priced. The biggest issue is after check out the team could not get back into the room to collect the bags after waiting 30 min we got another key cut and got into the room instantly no one in the hotel team thought of that and were disassembling the lock.

I visited lunch in that restaurant worst experience ever I face in luxurious hotel. No smiley face welcome and no one smile in that entire hotel. Food quality worst and best part of the hotel is coffee. Price also tooo high. Can't visit again.

A well created resort with typical decoration s of that region. Pleasing green environment and spaces to relax a good spa with massage facilities . Breakfast is quite substantial and well made . Staff is very helpful and courteous.in all a very comfortable stay . Located centrally to visit the palace museums and the famous Brihadeeshwara Temple . I Recommendthis place to anyone visiting Thanjavur.

Located conveniently close to the main temple, this place offers a serene and relaxing atmosphere that truly calms the senses. The traditional charm is well-maintained, and it provides a lovely heritage experience. The food was good, although the options were somewhat limited. One area for improvement would be the linens and pillows—I did find them a bit uncomfortable. That said, the overall experience was enjoyable and memorable, especially for those seeking a touch of cultural authenticity.
