Halez Sparsa Thiruvannamalai

Great Eco friendly place

Property - Tranquil property with a swimming pool and garden. The reception is simple. They have a dedicated place for serving complimentary evening tea and doing morning yoga. They offer pottery and flower garland classes along with bullock-cart ride and cow milking. They give a cold coconut water drink on check-in along with a garland. Room - is spacious with antique furniture, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. The shampoo and conditioner are provided in an eco-friendly container. The rooms upstairs have a better view so request for it before you check-in as the staff doesn't accommodate request to change rooms once you check-in which is frustrating. Dining - the breakfast is included. The spread is delicious with unique items like banana flower juice. The dining room has beautiful Tanjore paintings. The staff is attentive and courteous. However, the dining room doesn't serve a la carte for dinner. The dinner buffet is predominantly continental and north Indian which is a disappointment if you were hoping to try South Indian cuisine. Location - the resort is close to the temple and ashram. You can stop by the hotel during grivalam as the hotel is on the path of the grivalam.

Very friendly staffs.

This resort hotel is cozy and very beautiful. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Rooms are nice and clean with all amenities. However we had an issue with one of the rooms which was smelling like it has been smoked . Hotel staff sprayed some perfume to make it better. They also said none of their rooms are smoking rooms. I don’t understand how it has been smelling so strong. I request the management to seriously look into why it was smelling in room 110 on 23rd august. Rest all amazing and I recommend this hotel to anyone going to Arunachalam temple

Clean. Money's worth.

It’s a hidden gem in Tiruvannamalai. Beautiful and tranquil ambience. Absolute delight to stay at the property. Food at onsite restaurant was outstanding! Access to the property was a bit challenging as the roads were severely damaged.

It was an excellent stay.The booking through HOtels.com is pathetic. I never faced a problem when I was in Europe. I started facing issues when I tried booking in India. However the accommodation is quote relaxing and service is best in class.

Very nice place quiet with a great view of the Arunachala mountain.

The staff were very friendly and courteous. Room was clean and the gardens were well kept. Food was great and the food suggestions were great. The bed was not comfortable. The mattress was hard but not firm and was saggy which was not conducive to a good night’s sleep. It was raining when we went and they did not have trollies to being the luggage’s to the room which resulted in us having muddy wheels and bottoms of suitcases.

Clean, serene, great location, excellent food and staff
