RAGHAVAN K.
A budget-friendly, decent and safe place to freshen up before heading out to the temples. It’s right by Kumbakonam bus stand, so you can get an auto at the entrance; they have drivers they know who can take you on temple tours or around nearby areas to suit your plans. Taxis are available too, and Meenakshi bhavan inside the bus stand is a clean restaurant with good-quality food. The railway station is about a 10-minute auto ride away. Room service was good and the restroom was neat and clean. Since it’s next to the bus stand, people who want a quiet atmosphere may not be comfortable, though the noise wasn’t too disturbing at night. It’s affordable for solo travelers and families.
