I liked every single moment spent there.

Amazing old property totally renovated in every minute detail. Right at the entrance of town, walking distance to everything. Food was unique, delicious and very fresh and light to digest. Staff was of the most helpful and smiling all the time.

The rooms were phenomenal. Heritage walk and especially morning cycling session by Mr. Siva was really worth it. The staff were friendly and the food was good.

We are senior citizens and were given room in the first floor. Later on request they changed the room to ground floor.

Excellent property well maintained.

F&B choices were very limited and a bit overpriced for me.

Spacious rooms, helpful staff, nice swimming pool, overall the property has preserved the heritage essence.

The warm hospitality. Mr. John the Estate Manager came personally to meet and greet us. The chef was amazing and gave authentic Chettinad food... Since we are vegetarians we had good choice of menu The facilities exceeded our expectation... particularly the spacious room was giving us a Palace living feel. The car wash support was a pleasant surprise.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Vishalam. The room was excellent, beautifully maintained, and rich with traditional charm. The staff were incredibly supportive—especially Siva, who went above and beyond to assist us. Our city tour was well-organized, and Siva’s help throughout made it even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience.

Minimal breakfast, less than that is impossible. You can only go up to the second floor by stairs. There is no refrigerator in the room. There is no connection between the hotel and how it is defined as 5 stars. The price of the hotel is exorbitant compared to the value you receive.

Lovely renovated building. Very clean. Huge room. We were welcomed with a traditional ceremony. Good servis

The rooms were clean and spacious. It makes you feel that you can understand what life was like for the people who lived there many many years ago. The swimming was wonderful. The food was very delicious and the staff made sure to understand how we like certain things. One of the highlights was the cooking demonstration of a Chettinad typical dish. The chef made an unbelievable delicious dish in a matter of less than 10 mins ( the vegetables were chopped already). She was very gracious and we sampled the dish. She thought we would eat it all, but we were too full from lunch. We requested that very dish for dinner, which was not on the menu for that evening, but they served it to us anyway, SPECTACULAR! When we asked about the spices they used, a different chef came to our table and explained the nuances of the spices used. He even email us instructions as how to make one of the spice mixtures. Another special activity was the morning bike ride. It is absolutely worthy!!!! Everyone at Visalam was equally attentive and caring and made us feel so happy that we were there. At the end we felt sad to leave the people there.
