There are very few good lodges in Kanchipuram. This is because not many travelers stay in the city itself. So, building a lodge is not a very good business. Luckily, the situation is changing now. There still are very few lodges, but most of them are good. The good hotels are easily accessible from the Kanchipuram Bus Stand. Just ask the locals which is the best place to stay. The answer is almost always unanimous - the name of the best hotel. The locals know if anything better comes up. Although they never are going to stay in these hotels, they quickly make a comparison between the best hotel so far and the new one that just came up, to determine the better one. And, gossips carry the message along.
