Great Trails River View Resort Thanjavur By GRT Hotels

I would like to share my feedback regarding the room occupancy policy at GRT Great Trails, Thanjavur.Today, (07/08/2026)I called your reservations team at 4:05 PM to enquire about booking a room for my family. I explained that we are 2 adults and 3 children (aged 18, 12, and 7) and that I was willing to pay the applicable charges for an extra bed. However, I was informed by the reservations staff that the maximum occupancy is 2 adults and 1 child per room, and that it was not possible to accommodate us in a single room under any circumstances.I understand that every property has its own policies. However, I request you to consider introducing larger family rooms or allowing additional children in spacious rooms with extra bed charges. This would make the resort much more convenient for families traveling together.

The rooms are nice and clean but do not expect luxury feel. They leave 2 fresh fruits and a small box of biscuits which is a nice feel. The WCs in the rest room are really low. The open dining hall in this heat is really though to take, they can atleast have nice bamboo roll shades and couple of industrial fans to create a cooler atmosphere. The SPA needs a special mention, the massage was really good.

An outstanding stay at GRT Thanjavur! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service.The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay. The hotel is beautifully maintained, and its location is convenient for visiting the famous Brihadeeswarar Temple and other attractions in Thanjavur.GRT Thanjavur truly reflects the high standards of the GRT brand. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Thanjavur, whether for business or leisure. Looking forward to staying here again!

I stayed for 3 days in this resort. This was my second time with GRT(first was Madurai).Location though a little away from city but very serene and beautiful. It’s just you and the nature. Their restaurant is open so you can’t escape the natural elements, just let things be and enjoy the river flowing by peahens and peacocks’spotting a turtle or a local coming to graze his herd of goats or butterflies drinking sweet nectar.I had visited with my elderly parents and I’m really pleased with the wonderful attentive staff. They provided a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere.Right from the front desk to the restaurant the staff made us feel like home.Food was homely nothing fancy but flavoursome. Here I would mention the sweet Pongal they served at breakfast buffet was so delicious my dad just couldn’t stop talking about. Also they paid attention to every detail whenever I had special requests for my parents regarding food or the rooms.Pool sparkling clean, lawns well maintained and clean rooms.Thank you guys’keep up the good work!There is one request though’as you are in a temple town, you have lot of elderly guests. It would be great if you fix toilet grab bars/handles for the elderly guests. This would be highly appreciated.Thank you!

Visited this property after spending 2 nights at Grand Madurai and was surprisingly let down by GRT standards on this one. The over all room look and feel, the amenities were just average for the price you pay. The only good thing was the restaurant staff who were really approachable and provided great service.Number of things were lead to a bad experience at Great Trials Thanjavur’1. The rooms are called Divine Darshan but the staff have no clue of what’s happening at the temples nearby and how they can help the customers.2. The room facilities are as good as a usual homestay- absolutely nothing exclusive and worth the price you pay’ Fans dont work but they are there in the room, AC works only in some parts of the room, TV is the worst does not even connect to wifi and there are mosquitos in the room. Just one light works in the room. Really a big drop in terms of the overall facilities compared to other GRT properties (Comparing to the GRT Yercaud and Madurai).3. Food - basic fried rice and chicken manchurian was so not made well. Coffee and snacks were sub par. Dint enjoy the taste at all.Really disappointed with the overall experience with this particular GRT property. Considering they have such excellent facilities and services in other places for similar price ranges wonder how they missed the mark on this one. Kindly make note of this and help improve this property, as location wise its really good.
