Hotel Surya Empire

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a generally positive experience. The hotel is new, neat, and clean, which made for a comfortable stay. One of the standout aspects was that they accept bookings from all without charging any extra amount, a refreshing change compared to many other hotels.**Pros:****Location**: The hotel is conveniently located just 500 meters from the temple, although there are no nearby restaurants within walking distance.**Basic Amenities**: The hotel provides complimentary bottled water. One of the best features is the water dispenser machine offering warm, cold, and normal water—something I’ve never seen in a hotel before. The rooms are clean, with functional bathrooms and decent beds—perfect if you just need a place to rest.**Toiletries**: They provided essentials like a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo.**Friendly Staff**: The staff was polite and welcoming, making the stay more pleasant.**Cons:****Room Size**: The rooms are quite small, leaving very little walking space. However, they are clean and well-maintained.**Food**: There’s no food service at the hotel, and unfortunately, there aren’t any nearby restaurants within walking distance, which was a bit inconvenient.**Parking**: Parking options are non-existent. You'll need to park your vehicle on the roadside.**Limited Staff Knowledge**: The staff wasn’t able to provide accurate information about distances to nearby attractions. The hotel could improve by offering a list of nearby tourist sites along with their opening and closing times.**Lift Under Construction**: Since the hotel is new, the lift is still under construction.**No Refrigerator**: There is no refrigerator available at the hotel. This could be an issue for guests who need to store medication or special food items prescribed by a dietician, particularly for elderly guests or those with specific dietary needs. Having a fridge on-site would be a great addition.Overall, it’s a clean and affordable option, especially for temple visitors. However, there are a few areas for improvement that could make the experience even better.

visited rameshwaram on 24 aug 2024 to 25 aug 2024. Newly built Hotel, spacious room, clean bedsheet, located opposite to temple's car parking area. hotel location is walkable 5 to 8 mins near to east gate and we didn't find any difficulty in reaching the east gate. Restaurant facility is not available but they have a separate restaurant from where the bring ordered food. we ordered roti and paneer masala which was very good. But food options is at West gate the hotel also arrange for pandits who can make arrangements for puja. If you are planning for only Darshan then you can easily do it independently. start with agni teertham opposite to east gate , then take Rs 25/- each person for 22 kund bath entry through North Gate, then do the darshan which is charged 100 for normal and 200 for quick darshan from East gate, we took ticket for 200. temple management us very smooth for Darshan. Overall very good stay at Hotel Surya Empire.

I had booked suite rooms, however it was like a standard room of any typical hotel. There were 100s of bed bugs on bed in my room. In another room, towels were not given. Even after asking for it, they didn't come back with towels. Lift was not functional during my stay so I had to take stairs for 2 floors. I found the neighborhood very dirty.

The hotel is near the main temple rameshwaram walk by 8 10min. Rooms are clean and welcoming. The only problem faced was the room was on the 2nd floor but the lift facility is yet to complete construction for elderly people had to take stairs everytime.
