Recently stayed at Hotel Athens in Tiruvannamalai for a short trip, and while the experience was generally okay, there were a few areas that could be improved. Location: The hotel is located close to Arunachaleswarar Temple and Sri Ramana Ashramam. This makes it a good choice for those visiting the town for spiritual purposes or sightseeing. Rooms: The rooms are decently sized, but they felt a little outdated. While the basic amenities like air conditioning and hot water were available, the furniture and fixtures could use some upgrading. Cleanliness was also an issue; while not terrible, the room didnβt feel as spotless as one would expect from a mid-range hotel. The bed was comfortable enough, but the linens looked slightly worn. Dining: The restaurant offers a limited menu with average food quality. While the South Indian dishes were tasty, there werenβt many options for those looking for variety. The service in the restaurant was a bit slow. Service: The staff were friendly and courteous, Facilities: The Wi-Fi connection was weak and inconsistent, which made it difficult to stay connected during the stay. Conclusion: Overall, Hotel Athens offers a basic, no-frills stay in Tiruvannamalai. Itβs fine for short stays if youβre primarily there to explore the city or visit the temple, but there are a few areas where improvements could be made. For the price, itβs a reasonable option, though Iβd recommend looking into other accommodations if youβre seeking more comfort or amenities.
Stayed with my Family in a suit room. The Suit room was Spacious, Clean and Comfortable. The room is comparable to any suit room in a 5* star hotels in an Metro. The Staff at Reception, Room Assistants, Watchman assisted willingly and happily. We had good food in the Adyar Anand Bhavan which was also good. I would like to thank the hotel for the courtesy extended.
Renovation is going on and there are scaffoldings and net all around. There was no water supply in the basin and faucet which I reported. After sometime one person came and turned the tap and water was coming. He said it sholud be turned like that as if I don't know! Water was coming very slowly. Window AC was making a lot of noise. Perhaps it is badly in need of service. I could spot two naphthalene balls in the room! Perhaps there are a lot of insects. Some bad stench was coming in the room then and there. Bed linen was not changed. Only after repeated calls it was changed. Restaurant ambience needs improvement. Food is not bad.

Our stay at thai residency was excellent. We spent two nights in premium rooms that were spacious and impeccably clean. The balcony offered a beautiful view of the hills, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The food at the restaurant was exceptional, particularly the mushroom masala, pulkha, and the various dosa options, all of which were flavorful and satisfying. The staff was friendly and well-behaved, ensuring we had everything we needed, including dental and bathing essentials for kids. While the location is slightly off the main town, it feels safe and calm, making it a perfect retreat. I highly recommend thai residency to anyone looking to stay near the girivalam pathway, especially those traveling with their own transport. Itβs a wonderful choice for a peaceful getaway.
Stay was planned out of 5km drive from city center, where we can find one or two hotels, hotel has parking space, play area and dining. Rooms are convenient under budget 1800 double bed room during saturday's.
This is the best hotel to stay in when you visit Tiruvannamalai! The reception staff are very attentive and helped my group from Australia with every request. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food is very good in the restaurant. Mr Rasool and his team could not do more for us. It really is a welcome oasis from the chaos of this holy city. Huge thank you to all the staff, we will be back next year! Heidi and Joe from Sundara Retreat in Australia
The ambiance is superb, i highly recommend this resort, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The cafe was cozy and charming atmosphere is created by the warm lighting, rustic decor and comfortable seating
I chose Ra***a Towers primarily because of the location and its website. The location was excellent for me, just a few minutes walk from the entrance of Sri Ra***a Ashram which was literally at the end of the street. (I discovered a nearby cafe/restaurant called 'The Dreaming Tree' which is one of the main places for meeting Westerners and which is also just a few minutes walk away plus Ganga Ma's place is also close by for Satsangs). The staff were always friendly, approachable and helpful (and arranged a taxi for me in advance from Chennai airport direct to Ra***a Towers). The attached restaurant served traditional local food which was fine although I preferred to buy my own cereals and fruit for breakfast which I prepared in the kitchen area of my room. My room was fine and everything worked, including the hot water. At night, monkeys would sleep against my bathroom window and on my balcony! Another feature of this hotel I liked was the rooftop terrace which had great views of *********a. The website was a little misleading about the meditation halls though, when I was there the meditation halls appeared to be being used as dormitories. And the library was out of use while I was there too due to building work. Overall though, I was happy with my stay here: the place was clean and secure, and seemed relatively high-end compared to ***y other places in Tiruvannamalai.
I am regular customer for the past eighteen years and thatβs the compliment. But, this time during our single night stay in four rooms on 21st September I met the Resort Manager Shri. Lakshmi Narayan Sir and mesmerised by his 100% hospitality during our entire stay time. Special mention to Mr. Karthi who extended fullest politeness towards us in all aspects. Even after so many years β Sparsa Tiruvannamalai β has maintained luxurious and comfortable stay for the customers. Kudos to the entire team See you once again.. soon Suresh Kumar Coimbatore
