I just came back from a 2 weeks trip to south India. In Madurai I stayed at Madurai Residency Hotel. It was a great place. You can check their rates at http://www.madurairesidency.com/tariff.html

I had a super classic room (with a/c) for 1000 rupees a day, which was very comfortable. They have non a/c room for 420. Actually I did not use the a/c when I went to bed, as I didn't like the noise. I think the ceiling fan is enough to cool if you will be there in winter.

Madurai is a very interesting place. Although vendors are agressive, people in the neighborhood were very nice. On one festival evening I walked around the big temple, some people invited me join their ritual at a small temple, the priest prayed for me and gave me some sweet rice candy, then I sat on the curb watching children play firecracker with the neighbors. It was one of the beautiful moments that I will always remember.

Have a great trip!

in kodaikkanal,try ~YOUTH HOSTEL~ near by cookers walk.very good location to view down side of the hills.they charged around 300 -500 range type rooms available.2kms from town.

in madurai,plenty of hotels available on each and every road.so,you just walk and find you decide accordingly for your taste.
