We didn't enjoy this property. The toilet was organised in a very strange way with the shower in the middle with 2 glass doors going across the full length wall to wall. On the far side of the shower was the toilet and on the nearside the sink. Secondly, the toilet smelt with poor sewage drainage. The mosquito net was broken with the window open letting in midgies. With the staff, a gentleman called John checked us in and to be fair I couldn't complain about him and he went above the call of duty, but unfortunately he went off an hour after we checked in and the same could not be said of his colleagues. Unfortunately, we will not be staying there again!!

Do not recommend this hotel. We booked in for four days. Day one - room allotted not what we were signed up for. Toilet seat broken. Reported this no action taken. Staff not helpful. day two - requested clean up of room no replenishment of stock of coffee powder, no water, no toilet rolls provided. Had to ask for this. Reception staff unfriendly and not helpful. Day three same result, no replenishment of coffee or water, had to ask for this multiple times before it was sent to our room. Day four same poor service and not a moment we felt that we were welcome at the hotel. Buffet breakfast was quite standard, four days of very similar type meals. We did have their a la carte menu food which was okay. All vegetarian food only. Would not recommend this hotel and will not be returning here again.

This was a repeat visit to this hotel. However this time around, i was rather unhappy with the handling of my request to cancel one nights stay. I had initially booked for 3nights stay and upon arrival i had immediately informed the hotel that i would like to change the length to 2nights. hotel asked to contact expedia where they will approve the change. However, when this was initiated, the hotel rejected this while i was still there. this prolonged till checkout where the answer was "i have asked management. still no answer". I was not compensated for the extra night i gave back to the hotel.

Friendly staff, great front desk and amazing food in Tiruvnamalai. If you are a devotee of Arunachala then you can just sit outside the room and gaze at the beautiful sight. Great place and Highly recomended.

Stayed for 2 nights. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. The food in the restuarant and room service was well prepared and delicious. The ambience in the hotel was calming and clean. I was pleasantly surprised by the stay. Would stay here again if visiting Tiruvannamalai

The staff are very kind and friendly and the property is clean and beautiful!! It s a 5-7 min rickshaw ride from Sri Ramana Ashram and Arunachala. If you plan on visiting ashram every day like i was, then it is probably better to stay closer in town.

Perfect hotel in Tiruvannamalai
The service and feeling of being welcomed was wonderful! The rooms are neat, clean, and elegant. The location is perfect; just at the edge of town away from the bustle and noise, but only 5 minute tuktuk ride to the Ramana ashram, and 10 minutes from the big temple. The hotel has a beautiful clear view of Arunachala mountain. The food at the restaurant was some of the best we had in India! I will definitely be staying here next time I visit Tiruvannamalai!
