A very well maintained hotel, with very courteous staff.  The hotel has an attached Vegetarian Restaurant that is managed and run independent of the hotel.  
There is plenty of car park available in the basement. 
Very centrally located in a market area.

A great place to stay in central Kumbakonam

One of the finest experience overall ! Rooms are really big with good ambiance. Though their tariff does not come with complimentary breakfast, there is a restaurant attached to the hotel on the ground floor, which provides high quality multi cuisine menu.  Service standards of the hotel are also excellent and incredibly quick. FO executives Rajesh and Senthil stood out with their warm attitude and willingness to help at all times. Given the proximity to the market place (about 500m walk), the stay at RG was all the more a joyful experience.

Wonderful experience

Clean rooms and very near to most places. It is very near to the Mahamagam tank. The rooms have been recently upgraded so it looks very clean. They have room service coffee and available at very early time too. Will definitely stay there again.

Clean affordable hotel

Great location, crisp clean white bed linen and towels, good and renovated rooms/ bathrooms, very popular restaurant, and room service serving hot tea/ coffee from 5.30 in the morning. All this at a great price. Don’t think you can ask for more…

Location opp mahamaham tank and great service

Raya’s Grand, facing Mahamaham Tank in the city centre, offers assured basement car parking with complete driver stay arrangements. The premises & facilities are spotlessly clean. Our Deluxe double room was spacious - around 360sft, not 180sft wrongly listed - with a flood of natural light from a large bay window. Centralised AC can be every effectively custom-controlled to personal comfort. Wi-fi in the room is effective. Hot water in the shower is instant, even at 5am. 
Housekeeping is prompt. Room Service is swift. The Electric Kettle has no materials to prepare tea/coffee but we found the swift Room Service for coffee even at 0530hrs a better option.
The restaurant offers efficient responsive Service of a wide choice on the Menu. Food items are all well made with generous portions. We were pleasantly surprised to find Veg Noodles prepared so tastily with minimal spices. 
Every floor has a spacious well-furnished lobby. All hotel staff, from Security at gate to the Hotel Manager, are attentive, responsive & courteous.
A good buffet breakfast with fruit juice & cut fruits would have made our excellent stay a notch even more delightful.

Excellent Stay

We stayed in this Hotel Rayas Grand in room number 116 for 2days from 14-09-2021 to 16-09-2021 for the purpose of visiting temples in & around Kumbakonam.
The Front Desk people especially Mr.Kalimuthu is very courteous and helpful to meet our requirements.
The room is spacious and clean &  more moving space with all amenities as mentioned in their site.
The room service is also excellent & need to mention that they changed the bed sheets & other towels & Toileteries everyday as required by us.
The Restaurant attached to this Hotel ,by name Rice N Spice provides tasty & excellent vegetarian food & the service is also very good.
Overall I can give 4.5* & will recommend to my friends.

Temple visit & Peaceful stay

I keep visiting Kumbakonam a few times for temple visit. Once I found that this hotel is too good, stopped looking for other hotels/ resorts. Deluxe rooms are spacious and neat. Linen is clean and the bed firm and good. Large bath room with Solar powered water heater. The front desk team is courteous and they get to know your preference of newspaper, room cleaning option etc affront. Their restaurant offers both North Indian and South Indian Veg food. Tasty.. Car parking facility is there. 

This hotel is in the City center. There are many other lodges in the name of Rayas and I am not sure of their service/quality/facility. My experience is only with Rayas Grand..

Neat hotel right in front of Mahamaham Tank

Though did not spend much time in the room and was mostly out visiting the temple, the stay was made memorable with excellent hospitality and prompt service by the staff. The rooms were neat and clean and well maintained with decent linen and facilities. Would recommend it for people who propose to do the Navagraha temple tours as it is ideally located. The food at the restaurant was tasty and enjoyable.

Memorable and enjoyable stay

We stayed at Raya's Grand between Jan 30 - Feb 2, 2020. It is very centrally located and close to many prominent temples. Rooms were spacious, clean and the staff were helpful and courteous.Hot water was instantaneous. The attached restaurant " Rice and Spice" had decent food. though quite a few of the dishes had garlic. Good value for money and I would highly recommend this hotel.

Good value for money

We stayed at Ragas Grand for the first time.  The rooms were very spacious and comfortable.  The front office and other service staffs were courteous and felt their genuine intention in providing comfortable and excellent service to the guests.  This place is worth for the price you pay and would recommend this place as the best stay option.
