Great Trails Riverview Thanjavur by GRT Hotels

I stayed here with my family for around 2 nights. I was initially skeptical about the hotel and the stay. But , I was amazed by the amenities and the services provided by the hotel. We had some concerns regarding the room ( We unknowingly booked a room upstairs, when we specifically wanted a room downstairs) , and inquired the staff regarding our requirement, and the staff were kind and hospitable, processed our request immediately and we got a room as per our requirement. The delicious food was an added feather to the cap! A complete 10 on 10!

Review for GReaT Trails Riverview Resort, Thanjavur by GRT Hotels We stayed at GReaT Trails Riverview Resort, Thanjavur for a night on 10th May, booking two rooms for 4 adults and 3 kids — and it was a truly delightful experience! The primary goal of our trip was to relax and spend quality time together, and this resort was the perfect setting. The location is stunning — right next to the river, offering a serene and scenic backdrop. The property is very well maintained, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. To our pleasant surprise, the resort upgraded our room, which added to the joy of our stay. The kids had a blast, thanks to the indoor and outdoor play areas, and even the adults had space to unwind and have fun. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the hospitality of the staff made us feel truly welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this property to families looking for a relaxing getaway in Thanjavur.

We had a great time the moment we entered the property. Management treated us like their family and I would really appreciate each and everyone working from 6th May to 8th May 25, as I don’t have much space mention all their names. Our plan was to visit Big temple, but Hotel Management gave us a surprise which is really amazing. Many Thanks to all of you. I will definitely visit every year just to meet a wonderful team.

Great Trails, Thanjavur is truly a marvelous resort! The staff are extremely courteous and the service is excellent. Special appreciation to Mr. Rajesh, the F&B Manager, for taking such good care of us. Mr. Peer Mohammed, the General Manager, gave us a warm and memorable welcome that set the tone for a great stay. The location is perfect, the gardening is beautifully maintained, and the river view restaurant offers a peaceful and scenic dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Thanjavur!

There is a lot to applaud about the Riverview Resort. It has a nice rural, river front setting that is a relatively straightforward drive to the Big Temple, the main draw in the city. We were given a warm welcome and given a large, clean room. There was space for extra luggage, in a separate room from the bedroom and bathroom. This luggage room also had a fan, wardrobe and desk. The bathroom was a good size with a shower and bath, but the sink had no plug. The bedroom had a comfortable bed, safe, fridge, TV with Indian channels only, mosquito plug in, and air conditioning. The Wi-Fi was not great, quite slow. Sockets in the room were old and wobbly and needed treated with some care. Some of the paintwork in the luggage room was stained and the whole room felt like it could do with some modernisation. The room was clean though and the housekeeping good. The bathroom and the luggage room had window with open slats in them, potentially letting in insects. There was a balcony outside the room, on the first floor of a block, with views of the river, with lots of birdlife. The hotel sits in nice grounds, there is a big pool and a terrace to sit out on, which serves afternoon tea and is a buffet restaurant in the evening. The buffet we ate was mediocre. We went to the Big Temple in the evening and returned late, there was a lot of choice but quite a few of the dishes we tried were cold. Breakfast was also a buffet and similar in terms of quality to the evening meal. Early in the morning the hotel offers a peacock walk to spot the bird, that lives in the local countryside. We were lucky enough to see three. It was a great way to start the day. The road to the resort is narrow and on an embankment with few passing places. It might be tricky to navigate this at night and it would be better to arrive at the hotel by driving on the main road and turning off later although this may take longer. I don’t think the local area has many quality hotels, so competition may be limited. This hotel was fine for a night, but the accommodation is basic. The staff are very nice, but one night was enough of a stay for us.

Very good place to stay in Tanjavur. The staff is very helpful and informative. Good customer centric approach. Appreciate our interaction with Jainul from from front desk and Rajesh (F&B manager). The rooms are comfortable, excellent pool (closes at 6 pm though). Excellent view of the river with peacocks sightings from and in the property. Ample parking available. Food quality and is good. All in all a clean and comfortable experience.
