The hotel is 200 km from Madurai Airport, and the staff can help arrange transport. While the property is new and well-maintained, it does not have a lift, and some guests noted that stairs can be slippery, which may pose challenges for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. Rishi Residency provides a safe and welcoming environment, with one female traveler noting she felt secure during her stay.
