The Bangala Chettinad

None

Not worth.

Lunch time is too early and restricted

Every thing is excellent

La piscine et la grande terrasse couverte au premier étage

La salle de bains rudimentaire Le repas du soir Les prix

Very clean n friendly staff .. food was amazing 👍

Nothing to say

Expected a menu that we could order . For lunch and dinner it could have been even a minimal menu given and we could choose from it. The given buffet was very expensive and since we had a car we could go out. Otherwise it would have been a mandatory meal even for kids who usually don't eat heavy.

Breakfast was amazing. impeccable service.

We wanted to try the Vellai paniyaram, which is a Chettinad delicacy. Even though it wasn't part of the menu, they happily obliged when we asked. They extended our check out time until 4 pm on their own when they saw that it was hot outside and we were appreciating the place so much that we took time going to our next destination.

Nothing at all. We loved everything about the place

La piscine, le personnel aux petits soins, le repas très bon bien qu'un peu cher

Le bruit de la rue depuis notre chambre (1), la mauvaise connexion internet.

The sheets and pillows/linens were amazing

Its not in the least value for money

Spacious rooms, awesome food and staff service.

My wife and I loved our stay at The Bangala. The staff were excellent, and the food was outstanding. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the landscaping is truly exquisite.

Personnel impeccable à tout point de vue.

Nous avions choisi cette hôtel pour la réputation de sa cuisine, nous avons été comblés ! Les petits déjeuners sont copieux et savoureux. Nous avons dîner deux soirs et la menu unique était succulent. L'hôtel est assez luxueux pour la région, impeccable sur la propreté, les services, le confort de la chambre etc. La piscine est un vrai plus dans une zone où il fait chaud après les visites des Palais. L'hôtel à une boutique assez sympa pour offrir quelques cadeaux.

J'ai testé le cours de cuisine de 45 minutes où l'on est plus spectateur. J'aurai aimé que l'on me propose de participer, surtout que j'étais le seul participant. Merci au chef pour sa transmission. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable, attention toutefois à ne pas être trop présent ou à donner trop d'information surtout lors de l'arrivée. Nous avions eu 5h de route et nous aurions aimé avoir le temps de s'installer tranquillement.

Superb food and staff

Everything is excellent,hospitality very nice

Food is too much costly

The pool, the garden, the high class heritage ambiance.

Nothing to dislike

Stay in a palace, clean , comfortable, you feel like you are in a dream

A bit noisy location nearby the main road and the mosque

Room was OK, but the meals were terrible. There are better hotels in same area.

Dinner was terrible and the Veg meals were a left over from who knows what. They are only catering to French folks and do not provide a truly Chettinad cuisine as advertised, Meal was a hag/ pag of items. I have had their meals before, and it was decent. Overpriced for what you get this time and not very tasty at all. Pick another hotel to stay at.

La beauté de la maison décorée avec beaucoup de goût. La gentillesse, la disponibilité de la totalité du personnel. La table d’hôtes est excellente.

Location of breakfast was lovely with very attentive staff.

Propreté et personnel très attentionné Belle piscine très propre. Tres bonne cuisine.

Pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre

A beautifully furnished and maintained heritage bungalow with excellent service and amazing meals. The Chettinad meal at lunch was one of the best I have had. There were multiple options for breakfast and dinner.

Well, it is not a classic Chettinad mansion, if one is keen on staying in one. One has to travel by car for about half an hour to see the mansions in Kanadukattan and Athangudi. A few houses in Chettinad style are within walking distance, but they are not open for viewing. There is also disturbance in the morning from the speakers in a nearby place of worship.

Only the property was well restored.

Food was bad, bathrooms were so open that we can hear all kind of unpleasant sounds from the washroom while we r in the bedroom. Not even complementary water was provided. Not worth for the price they charge.

Run by friendly caring people, a comfortable stay with a local feel. Food was carefully prepared both dinner/breakfast

Accueil chaleureux et professionnel Bonne organisation Piscine et jardin très agréables Chambre spacieuse et bien équipée Restaurant délicieux Très bien entretenu et decoré

Petit bémol bruits de la rue klaxonnes et appels à la prière tôt

Too many options in the breakfast lunch and dinner menus. Large rooms was better than the lotus palace with their small and dingy rooms. exceeded expectations with respect to hospitality. Food was fresh and perfect. Hosts were extremely kind and sensitive. Checked in early morning but the lady in reception took no time in giving us a room in just 20 minutes though I did not inform her in advance.

Swimming pool was facing the dining area so privacy was bit restricted. never used the pool

It was a beautiful place to unwind.

Sehr schönes, ruhiges und gepflegtes Refugium im Kolonialstil, wunderbar im Originalstil eingerichtete Zimmer, netter Speisesaal, gute Küche mit aufmerksamem Service.

Der Empfang war etwas „kühl“, die Rezeption etwas unübersichtlich, keine Bemühung um das Gepäck. Als Besonderheit werden zu den üblichen Essenszeiten vom Chefkoch zusammengestellte Menüs serviert. Sie variieren einwenig, um auch den nicht-indischen Gästen entgegen zu kommen. Die eigene Auswahl ist damit jedoch ziemlich beschränkt. Die Qualität ist zwar gut, unterscheidet sich aber kaum von einem großzügigen Büffet-Angebot in einem vergleichbar guten Hotel.

1) nice garden 2) spacious room

1) overrated food offers, especially breakfast

Excellent breakfast

Public noisy event in the street could not be controlled by the owners. Noise went on till midnight! Owners need to become more influential with the local people to keep noise within reason. We pay a lot for peace and quiet and noise went on the whole day.

施設はとても素敵でした

食事がクリスマスと言うことでティッチナードスタイルとは違ったのでとても残念でした 電車の都合で朝食が少ししかいただけなかった テイクアウトができるといいと思います 半日ツアーを申し込んだが2時間で終わったのであまり楽しくなかった

Well-maintained heritage facility with famous banana leaf meal offerings. The exclusive access to MSMM house is a must-have experience if you are in Chettinad. The library book collection is amazing too.

Banana leaf meal pricing is on the expensive side. Early morning celebrations from nearby temple could make it hard to sleep, especially in the Tamil holy month.

Gostei muito do ambiente serviço e todas as comodidades do quarto e do hotel.

Nada a apontar.

Everything about his property is too good . Starting frm their food, rooms , hospitality. Everything js top notch.

Everything. The ambience is delightful and the staff are very helpful. Food is wonderful befitting the accolades in the Indian cuisine and travel press.

It's not that we don't like it but the hotel is next to a busy road. First time visitors should be aware of this so as not to be disappointed. The relaxing atmosphere will more than make up for it.

We had a wonderful time. Everyone was very kind, helpful and courteous. I highly recommend The Bangala for visiting Chettinad.

Breakfast was really good and the staff is very polite and friendly and serves with a lot of love

We booked their dinner however, it was very very average and not very authentic. We were really looking forward to it however we were quite disappointed with the dinner. I mean who serves aloo sabzi in a fine dine. curd rice was also very very basic and bland. It was catering to the european and the american pallette! too bland. definitely not chettinad flavours! I believe this colonial hangover needs to end.

Exceptionally well maintained. Superb food. Great service

Rooms were fresh and clean

The food could have been better . Breakfast was only idli and dosa . Preparation and spread were both average Dinner : we had booked try his property only based on reviews for the food . The food was average and did not live up to our expectations . Few examples : certain items like zucchini tempura were out of place and distinctly average . Staples like sambar and rasam were missing . The spread should be more expansive than it was . Options for vegetarians were limited . The dosa was sweet and soggy. Some items were good but we were left disappointed .

The unique ambience and food

Sound and stairs

Food and the friendly staff.

Food was a little too pricey and the absence of "a la carte "option made it difficult for senior citizens like me who don't like too many items or big portions.

The ambience greenery around was awesome. The pool was divine. Food was well curated. Overall we had a nice stay.

The dinner was a bit elaborate and the price was not mentioned anywhere. An ala carte menu where options can be chosen would be good. There's no phone or bell in the rooms for housekeeping assistance or an emergency especially for senior citizens. Also since the eco friendly theme of RO water in rooms and cloth napkins near wash basins is being followed it would be great if refillable body wash and shampoo dispensers are also provided

Everything

Nothing

Room was large and comfortable. Food was excellent. Service was super. Since the rooms were designed like a traditional Indian room, I did not feel like I was at a hotel. The staff dressed in traditional attire and speaking very native style, gave a very homely feeling. Both of us were completely relaxed and was surprised we had to check out. There was a book written about the Chetinad history and heritage. It was very good book and explained the history and how they have lived, including festivals, families, etc. A very good way to know the history and culture of the chettiars for outsiders.

I thought the food pricing is on the higher side. But it was absolutely the best chetinadu food I ever had. My suggestion to the hotel management would be to add a details of the photos, history, etc. of the building. It would be a good way for residents to understand the photos.

Liked the cleanliness, friendliness of staff. Very homely, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent ambience. Ver good for a relaxed holiday.

Food was overpriced, although tasty and fresh. Bathroom amenities like hair conditioner and body lotion were not provided. There is no way to call any staff if we require anything. Neither an intercom, or even a bell. Every time we have to go out and try to find someone. Accomodation provided to the drivers are full of bed bugs. Our driver had to sleep in the car.

L’accueil à tous les niveaux à la réception , cuisine, restaurant est au top! Tout le monde est souriant

Le prix! Pour la chambre et le repas du soir

Good Heritage Hotel In Karaikudi. well maintained. Excellent staff service. exceptional food. Had a nice time staying fora day. Will recommend to everyone and if given a chance will comeback to the property.

Quaint and beautifully maintained property. Aesthetically pleasing and well appointed

Good location, beautiful property, clean room, very friendly and approachable staff.

Rooms lack telephone (therefore no room service) and TV. The lunch/dinner menus are limited, fixed and a bit expensive for what is offered.

Exceptional food. It is worth going there just for their lunch. I haven’t had a better lunch anywhere in the south of India, than The Bangala. The people who serve make it an exceptional experience.

It was a bit pricy.

This place is truly a hidden gem. The open, spacious verandas and beautifully maintained garden create such a peaceful atmosphere. The swimming pool is clean, and the guests tend to have a high civic sense, which adds to the overall calm. I really appreciated the absence of TVs in the rooms and no forced bonfires or nighttime activities—such a refreshing change! The staff are super friendly yet non-intrusive, always available without being overbearing. Beds and linens were perfect, and a special mention for using non-plastic water bottles—a small but meaningful touch. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy thoughtful hospitality in a serene setting. Food was mindblowing, the flavors, textures and presentations, broke the spell i had on Chettinad food!

There’s a tendency among staff to turn on their cellphones with loud sound when not busy. I understand this is quite common these days, but it can disrupt the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. There’s plenty of space in the back garden—perhaps it could be used to grow vegetables and properly recycle organic waste? Toothbrushes could be switched to bamboo alternatives, and shampoo containers replaced with ceramic ones—easily sourced from local antique ceramic shops. It would align beautifully with a more sustainable approach. The ceiling fans upstairs (I was in Room 24) only seem to work at full speed. It would be great if that could be adjusted.

Loved the Chettinad cuisine and the hospitality.

Very well maintained and beautiful heritage bungalow. Very hospitable staff. Nice locations to see around Karaikudi and Kanadukathan.

Very pricey, especially the food. No TV in the rooms - in a way was good digital detox.

Everything was excellent. Staff to food.The staff takes every step to make sure you have a great stay. Food is par excellence.

No complaints

The ambience, the staff and the food were amazing. Absolutely loved our stay

Nothing really, except perhaps they should have had a gym/spa

Excellent
