Hotel Bakiyam

If you are heading from Aduthurai to Tirumangalakudi and pass through Mettur Dam, you’ll find Hotel Bakiyam right near the Kaveri Palam. We are situated in a busy part of Salem, specifically the 636403 zip code. Being so close to the dam means we see a lot of people coming through to look at the water or people working on local projects. The humidity can be something else here, especially during the middle of the year. Our hotel is a straightforward building. We aren't trying to be a five-star resort. It is a place where a person can wash off the dust of the road and get a few hours of sleep. We handle the daily chores ourselves, from washing the linens to making sure the front gate is working right. The noise of the nearby bridge is something you get used to after a while. It’s just the sound of the town moving. We don't have a fancy website or a glossy brochure. Usually, people find us just by driving past or hearing about us from someone else in the neighborhood. It’s a local business run by local folks who have lived in Salem all their lives. We know where to get the best supplies and which times of day the traffic is worst. It is a modest life, running this place, but it keeps us busy and connected to the people around us. We've been at it for years.
