Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers neatly maintained rooms with proper clean bed and bath linen but the rooms are too small, and the bathrooms are very small. The location is perfect for a short commute within Tiruvannamalai, right at the backdrop of Arunachala, making it ideal for a walk around the hill.
The hotel rooms were clean and spacious, offering unique activities like bullock cart rides and pottery making. However, the low patio caused some inconvenience with slushy floors making way into the rooms.
The hotel is nicely situated away from the crowd yet close to the temple, offering tastefully done rooms. The service was impeccable and attentive to our needs. The location provided a peaceful atmosphere close to Arunachala, but the dining options could use some improvement.
