8/10 Very Good

Has seen better days but reasonably comfortable.
Hotel was more run down than I expected, though I assumed it’s an older hotel. They could do so much with this location to improve experience. Room was fine and huge bed. Mattress not the softest. Great anur conditioning. Also limited hot water when I arrived at night. Had hoped to have a bath after long travels. As others have commented there is a very loud dawn chorus early morning. Might not be ideal for light sleepers. I used ear plugs. Upside of location is chance to see peacocks and feel close to nature after hectic cities. Also nice to walk in countryside if you take right hand exit at hotel entrance. But no autos around so you need to ask reception to book auto. 350 rupees to temple which was reasonable as quite a long drive. Ola does not work here. Breakfast was a bit disappointing compared to other GRT hotels I have stayed in. But nice location on verandah by river. It has a lot of water now as other posts said it’s dry. Pool also nice with some loungers. A great hotel to chill out but not five star reviews and not much to do in vicinity apart from enjoying nature. But make sure to visit the temple!

My mother got sick and Mr Sridhar, Mr Parivallal & Mr Chandrakumar helped us in the matter! We thank the staff of Great Trail in resolving the issue! Calm and quiet place by the banks of Veenar River!!!

Recommended for a great Tanjore stay
Thank you to the amazing staff for their hospitality and their service with smiles. We were a family of seven with senior citizens and they accommodated our needs beautifully. Go between Aug and Feb to see the river in full flow.

I picked this property because of the GRT name and it was on the river. Its away from the hustle and bustle of the city and a narrow road takes you to the property. Check in was excellent, staff was courteous and its lush vegetation that surrounds the property. Peacocks and all sorts of birds are in the property. Its in the bank of river Vennar. No water in the river but lots of starks and peacocks running around . Food for lunch or dinner is where it needs some more options for vegetarians. Samosas for appetizers had cheese in it . Think they need to stick to traditional samosas. Breakfast was good and the smily chef made excellent pooris, dosas and vadas. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Overall an excellent choice for people that prefer a quiet tranquil escape and i will come back and stay at this property again

2/10 Poor

First impressions are lasting impressions, or so they say. The staff and their demeanor couldn't be worse. 1. I don't know what the "white-skin"fetish is for the restaurant staff. There was a (French, I think) group of, maybe, 10 people. The chef comes and talks to them. Good. 2. A waiter comes, drops a couple of menus on my table. says he can't make what I am asking for (all I wanted was what was on their menu, except, two dishes served in the same plate, half-and-half, as I can't eat all of it). 3. I want to have a single malt, and he starts talking to me about how expensive it is. 4. I had to ask to see the manager and yell at him (don't know his name, though). and then he took my order to make all that I asked for the way I wanted them made (good guy!). 5. I was sitting on the deck for dinner, and out of courtesy, asked if I could smoke there. The guy pointed me to the far end of the deck as a "smoking area" and lectured me about how the law requires me to go there and smoke. Fair enough. 6. Except, a few minutes later, the part of the French group sitting at the table next to me is smoking at the table! The waiters - would bring me food and drinks, but would not even look or smile at me (probably, the manager gave them a piece of his mind). They tried to make up for it with some extra smiles the next morning, but too little too late! Now the good thing is - It's a great location. Nice rooms. Lovely, quiet and picturesque setting.

They grow organic vegetables in their own garden and gave a complementary sample to me. I felt that it was a nice touch.

8/10 Very Good

Great little place off the city area. The room was very spacious and clean. The food was however very average. Could do much better. Due to its location getting in and out of the hotel is a bit of an effort. Ride share services won’t really pick you up from here as its isolated, so you are pretty much dependent on hotel’s recommended tuk tuk / car which charges you more than normal price. Overall good place to relax. Nice and quiet.
