- Sugunakar (5/5): I felt very uncomfortable - The room was not cool enough and there is no fan
- Sunandan (9/5): It was the ideal place for us for our visit to Tiruvanamalai. Enjoyed the stay! - Very friendly, helpful, and hospitable staff. Clean and well maintained property. Wonderful view of Arunachala from the Queen room. Bathroom design could be better. Walking through the wet bathing area to get to the WC is not optimal and there can be the risk of slipping.

- VENKATARAMAN (5/5): - Nothing much. But ambience was good. Staff are cordial and co-operative. For the tariff charged/paid, comforts were little. Lift didn't work consecutively for 3 days putting elderly, guests with knee problems etc. to lots of inconvenience. Hot water did not come in our rooms necessiating our complaints to the reception desk. Restaurant has lot to improve with availability of food items to guests. Now it is limited.
I may not wish to stay at this property in future.
- Rajasegar (9/5): Very good stay - Excellent location and clean Limited array of food offering for breakfast
- Mani (6/5): -
- Hans (10/5): alles bestens -
- Agnieszka (9/5): - Le personnel de l’hôtel est vraiment au petit soin. L’hôtel est super. C’est une petite bulle cosy et paisible. Je conseille vivement.
Par contre pour aller à l’ashram de Ramana il faut prendre un tuk tuk (150 l’aller ) sinon c’est trop loin à pied.
Pour ma part au petit déjeuner il manquait le choix au niveau du sucré (pas de muesli, pas de yaourt, pas de miel ni fruits) mais il y avait un grand choix de salé.
- Cha kra (4/5): -
- Stephane (8/5): -
- Corrado Marchetti (10/5): Il miglior hotel della città - Ottimo soggiorno rilassante in una posizione strategica della città. Molto vicino al percorso di pellegrinaggio.
Posto silenzioso e piscina molto carina.
Ho apprezzato anche il ristorante adatto per i palati occidentali. Nulla da segnalare
- Shilpa Reddy (9/5): -
- Jain (1/5): - Toilet was not clean, there were no flushing need to fill the bucket & have to pour in, some bad smell in whole room, they don't even provide complimentary water too very bad Nothing is good

- DEEPAK (7/5): -
- Agnieszka (10/5): - L’accueil est chaleureux. Le personnel est au petit soin. C’est un bel hôtel.
Le lit est confortable. Le petit déjeuner mérite d’être amélioré. Je conseil d’agrandir le choix au niveau du sucré: mettre le miel à disposition en plus de la confiture pour les tartines et yaourt, muesli ou fruits.
- Julio (10/5): Calming environment - Open inner courtyard with rooms around it with open balconies. Staff were always pleasant and helpful. Most spoke good English. The location was 250 rupees via tuk tuk to town each trip. Tiruvannamalai is a spiritual center and this hotel maintains that vibe. There was a ping pong table and a pool. The only downside was the there wasn’t enough hot water to fill the bathtub, so spending the extra money for the room with the tub wasn’t worth it.
- keshavdas (6/5): comfortable - food was good and the room was spacious Overpriced.
- Julio (9/5): Confortable - Felt comfortable, like at home It was a 30 minute walk to the town
- Anna Bianca (8/5): Personale molto accogliente e disponibile. Molto buoni i trattamenti alla SPA. - Personale molto gentile, sorridente e disponibile.
Trattamenti e massaggi molto buoni alla SPA. Il ristorante ha bisogno di migliorare il menù. Diversi piatti del menu non erano disponibili, anche se indicati sulla carta.
- Jyoti (8/5): - The hotel is very well maintained , staff were courtious and nice..the food was good. The bathroom can be improved with more facilities like hair dryer etc.
- Ilangovan (8/5): -

- Dolan (8/5): - The private patio. Had minimum hot water.
- Sajiesh (8/5): Comfortable stay if not exceptional - Rooms though old are maintained clean and they are spacious enough. Service by Front desk staff was excellent.
Located on outskirts of the town, better to take an auto from hotel to visit the temple. Auto will be arranged by Front desk staff. Food at restaurant is of average taste, can be improved.
- Shenbaga Kumar (9/5): - Very good Very good
- i Radha (9/5): - The room and space Bathroom seat was too old and need more improvement about the bathroom
