The best part of this hotel is the exterior, whose lovely colonial lines suggest an atmosphere that is not delivered in the rooms or the dining room. Our room was comfortable but without character. The a la carte food in the dining room (cavernous and charmless) was very good at dinner (a particularly good Tandoori chicken and saagh paneer), but... More

Very pleasant stay. The fitings and paint are a bit dated but the staff were very courteous (with the exception of a surly waiter who warmed up after a while), the food was good and the room very comfortable. Nice pool too and good band with dinner. The restaurant needs a refit as is a bit grubby.

We stayed at the Hotel Sangam in Thanjavur for only night unfortunately. The rooms were tastefully appointed, comfortable beds, excellent towels, delicious food for both breakfast and dinner, efficient business centre, and very polite, efficient and patient staff. On the evening we arrived, we were greeted with an orange scarf and nice cool drink. We dropped our bags in our... More

Staff surly, room just shy of dirty with not enough towels, one bath towel per person, and, we were two women.. Bar did not have any wine, and was quite dark and dingy. Worst experience was dinner. We were two solo travelers, and being women to boot, it took over 20 minutes to get a menu, and another 45 minutes... More

Sangam is the only decent place to stay in this historic city. The hotel has recently been renovated and the rooms are a lot cleaner and the bathrooms much better. It is located very close the the main attraction of the town-- The Big Temple. It is also close to other notable spots such as Thiruvarur, Thiruvaiyaru, etc. Unfortunately, connectivity... More

The rooms were spacious. The ac was good.the bathroom has a bath tubs in them.the car they arranged was at a nominal cost.the resturant was good.try the noodles varieties and side dishes they are great.

Of the nine different 4- and 5-star hotels we stayed throughout India, this was far and away the worst and in fact the only one where we questioned the hygiene of the place. However, it was not intolerable and the two most important things - the bed and toilet - both seemed brand-new. Otherwise the interior is indeed something like... More

Apparently, there isn't a really good hotel in Thanjavur, so the Sangam isn't a terrible choice. It's quite alright for a night or two, though way too expensive for what it is. The hotel is very, very dated. The lobby is rather big but completely soulless, cold with almost no furniture. The bar is a travesty really - dull, smelly,... More

Welcome with a drink. Small elevator. Dark and "fifties" restaurant. Inefficient service in the restaurant. Avoid the sweet corn soup. No acceptable wine list. Tiny swimming pool. Dark bar somewhere in a corner.
