Rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant was excellent!

I love everything about this hotel, from the divine smell to the friendly staff, especially the restaurant staff. Comfortable bed and good spread of breakfast. Will definitely go back here.

Lovely large clean rooms. Great AC and good service. The attached restaurant is pretty good and the breakfast was very reasonably priced

The bathrooms. There are 3 separate zones which end up being all a bit too narrow and small. Would have preferred a single large bathroom to this. The beds were very soft.

Excellent service, quality food, courteous staff, cleanliness, good ambience.

Everything was to our satisfaction.

The rooms come with little gift bags. Modern look. Very comfortable. Room service food very good. Staff very polite.

No tea station and tea can take a long time to arrive.

Comfortable stay, convenient location and courteous staff

An absolute 5-star experience! The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and remarkably quiet, making for a genuinely peaceful stay. The air conditioning works perfectly, which made a huge difference. This hotel offers exceptional value for money it's worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The staff are excellent and friendly.

Nothing at all

Brand, Cleanliness, Location, food and friendliness of staff

A good spread and excellent quality, not very spicy or oily

Nothing

Fantastic property Perfect for those exploring the city Staff was very helpful especially as my mother was unwell

All was great

New, clean and centrally located

They don’t serve meat. Only vegetarian food.

The location and the staff are good.

It's a pretty much equivalet to Travellodge. For a room for Rs.8000 per night seriously it is not worth the money.

warmth of the staff, especially in the dining hall. prompt service, food was awesome and very tasty with lots of varieties.

We recently stayed at Lilac Hotel, Kumbakonam, and had a truly wonderful experience. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We had requested an extra bed, and instead of a rollaway bed, we were pleasantly surprised to find a proper double bed arranged for us, which made our family stay much more comfortable. Every member of the staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. We were travelling with our 2.5-year-old son, and finding suitable food for him had been a challenge throughout our trip. During dinner, we ordered a meal for him, and Vijay from the restaurant kindly suggested serving it with fresh ghee and jaggery. At first, we were hesitant to introduce him to something new, but we decided to give it a try—and to our surprise, our little one absolutely loved it! The ghee was incredibly fresh and aromatic, and it made all the difference. A heartfelt thank you to Vijay, Praba, and Chef Santhosh for their genuine care and hospitality. They checked on us several times during dinner to make sure everything was perfect. The following morning, Vijay remembered our son and asked the chef to prepare a special ghee and jaggery dosa just for him, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Chandru also took wonderful care of us at breakfast and even arranged to pack our son's lunch for the journey ahead. It wasn't just the excellent service that stood out—it was the genuine kindness, thoughtfulness, and humanity shown by the entire team. They made us feel truly at home and cared for throughout our stay. Thank you to everyone at Lilac Hotel for making our visit so memorable. We will definitely return for a longer stay in the future and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kumbakonam.

Very friendly staff, ever ready to help out, clean room and toilets. Vegetarian food only but to an excellent standard.

Location was so perfect staffs made us feel like home room very spacious and clean front desk staff very efficient

Super!

Quick check in & excellent service all round ! Love the vegetarian buffet dinner with the station making small idly ! Staff were attentive & helpful.

Good ambience, very clean, very accommodative staff, central location. The toilets and bathrooms were separate in the suite, which enabled multiple people to get ready simultaneously.

The AC remote controls didn’t work properly for one AC in the bedroom. We couldn’t control the fan speed, and as a result, the room would be too cold with the AC on.

Excellently managed. Very forthcoming staff.

Restaurant menu is limited and vegetarian only. They don’t allow delivery of food from outside either

Excellent Lunch and Dinner

Nothing to state

Loved their Beds and Pillows... So comfortable and in room they have added two beds. So for 2 adults and 2 kids was sufficient. They have limited menu and all were so delicious. The staffs are very helpful and when we reached early even though the restaurant was not yet opened, they specially prepared the curd rice for our baby and let us use the restaurant area, which is really appreciative. The bathroom and rooms were clean. We will here come again.

There aren't any good restaurant or convenience store in the walkable distance. For the 24/7 menu would be great if they could add more options. And the Restaurant opening hours can be extended as most of the people who stays there are tourists and will be returning to rooms later than the lunch time therefore could miss the lunch menu. The hotel never allows outside food too.

Cleanliness and comfort. Room size

Nothing exactly, but the price is too high

Service, room and facilities

None

Location is good. Hygiene is well maintained.

Food was overly priced. For example, coffee costed 99 rupees and uthappam about 150 rupees - not justified for the ambience and quality of the hotel.. To top it off, they will add service charge along with gst on the service charge without asking. Taste is fine but prices are not justified. Breakfast and dinner buffet spread was limited.

Excellent💯👏

Room is spacious

Bathroom and toilet are separate, so there is very small space not at all comfort for aged people

I didn't eat in your restaurant.

Since I missed both breakfasts on my 2 days' of stay, I requested from Guru temple, to provide lunch freely on 11th when I left. They said it won't be ready by 10.45 when I returned from temple. They said that they can provide bread toast & coffee which will be charged. I felt that charges of Rs.295/- for 2 cups of milk I had room served on 9-6-26 is very high & did not have the toast & bread which I felt will be charged heavily. I vacated by 11 a.m. on 11-6-26.

Cleaning and hygiene was really good. Beds were very comfortable. The family room elite room was very spacious for 4 adults. Food was good and tasty

There could have been more items added in the menu. If we are staying there for 2 to 3 days, there is repetition of the same items every day. It was observed that the supporting staff used the same piece of cloth for wiping the toilets and for cleaning the rooms. The cleaning staff needs to be told to clean the toilets with different cloth and the rooms to be wiped with different cloth. It was quite disgusting to see this when he was cleaning the room.

Excellent breakfast spread. Ideal for a temple visit.. nutritious but not very heavy. The chef , Satish was very receptive to our needs and was ably served by the restaurant team of Prabha and the others.. all in all a wonderful experience

Very clean and near city center

Nothing in particular

Friendly staffs and, rooms are clean and comfortable. Restaurant serves good food. Overall, very happy with our stay here.

The room was spacious, clean, and bathroom, toilet and washbasin all were separate. this helped all of us to get ready quickly. the food was good and tasty and the restaurant was clean and spacious. Checkin clerk was helpful.

there was no valet parking. the approach to the hotel was a bit complex as it required a hard U-turn.

Excellent hotel. Very comfortable stay. Food was very good. Though we didn't select breakfast in the room package, we ordered a la carte. Lunch thaali was awesome. Menu can have little more variety for dinner. The travel desk also arranged our temple visits. Very professional and excellent service. Would highly recommend.
