The rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable to the point that we wished we could have stayed longer.

The rooms are pretty big, that's a plus point.

I make it a point to stay and eat only at this facility when I visit or pass through Tiruvannamalai.

Complimentary wifi connection is very poor.

Divine ambience, very clean room, homely vegetarian food, friendly staff, excellent customer service made the visit very memorable!

The Hotel is located at a nice place with good parking facilities, the front desk staff were very co operative and nice, the room was clean , the linens were clean, bathroom was clean.

Room  was  clean, had  a  mountain  view.

Rooms were very clean with all necessary items in place.

Rooms are clean and tidy, room service was excellent, wifi had a decent speed.

the rooms are very clean and very spacious.

Good hotel with decent amenities, clean and neat rooms, toilets.

Clean rooms, good service and excellent staff.

Bathrooms need a deep clean to remove scale etc. Inefficient fridge only getting to 15 degrees ( I carry a thermomenter!)

I had to remove the mosquito screen at the window and wash it out  on arrival as it was thick with dust and also repair a power socket that was falling out of the wall.

but it was the rubberised kind that if you massage it with the water running through, you can remove the debris or crystallisation and get the jets working - then there was lots of water pressure.

One and only problem we encountered was slow WiFi.

Location wise it falls on the girivalam route and is close to the temple.

We also took a rickshaw tour around Mt Arunachala.

Very easy access to girivalam route and Annamalayar temple.

The hotel is in the Girivalam route so that is also very helpful.

We got up early to walk the kora around the mountain and we returned around 10:30.

Some of the rooms have good view towards Arunachaleshwara hills .

The view of the holy mountain from the rooms and the menu at the restaurant are incomparable.

Great, spacious rooms with views of the mountain, superb meals and staff.

The view of the hill is unprepossessing given that it is vignetted by a landscape of shoddy flat rooftops.

My Family had the privilege to stay in Hotel Arpanaa which granted us the most spectacular view of Arunachala.

the service was top, the staff is very helpful, the view from our rooms was magnificent!

Good view of the Arunchala Hill from the hotel.

I loved the view of the Holy Hill from my balcony.

it has a balcony with a good view of the hills.

The view was breathtaking,  especially before sunrise in the morning where we sat in the balcony tor experience the view and a cool breath of fresh air.

It was so beautiful, and the view early in the morning during sunrise is just so wonderful.

The view from the balcony was marvellous as Giri Valam was in front of me
The restra was the best part of it as it provided the best quantity with quality .

Technically our room had a view of the temple Gopuram and the mountain,

Rooms are very well designed and you get a good view of the holy mountain.

The hotel room was big and very clean with a great view of Mount arunachala.The food in the restra was outstanding.

The only negative comment would be the price they charge for the water bottle.

Generous allowance of bottled water were left  each day.

There being no enclosed shower stall water from a bath tends to flow all across!

Very helpful staff ..be it Front Desk, Restaurant or Room Service.Coffee & Tea are a bit expensive at Rs 72 per cup including Taxes..Don't miss out on Herbal Water they serve in the Restaurant.

Hot water was limited and the AC was a bit noisy.

Only thing that could be better is the shower; the water was not hot enough for me.

They should improve the hot water situation and explain about the geaser to the customer.

As we came back later in the night from the temple we had to shower in cold water .

The hot water system needs to be turned on perhaps 15 minutes before you want to have a shower, otherwise you'll get a shower

I loved the rooftop deck and it would be great if they offered movies at night and yoga classes during the day.

Spacy, clean rooms and had nice morning views of sunrise and hills  from veranda.

Satsang hall had the best views of Arunachala and great energy, the rooms are clean and tidy and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

The rooms were clean and very well maintained.They let our driver sleep in the yoga room upstairs

The room was clean, well maintained and spacious.

Very harmonious, simple, very clean rooms with view of the mountain.

The room was clean, and have small things that I did not have in other guest houses in India: electric kettle, water filter, small generator so if there are short electrical power interruptions, you do not feel them.

Lovely, new and spotless rooms, with small kitchen and A/C arranged around a lovely, leafy courtyard.

A great hotel with clean rooms, lots of thoughtful amenities and friendly staff.

You will find in this guesthouse everything a traveler looks for : a great welcome, attentive personnel, spacious and clean rooms with comfortable bed, a coach, AC, drinking water and a well-equipped bathroom.

All rooms have a clean attached toilet/hot-shower, power backup and a water purifier amongst other amenities.

Here was a beautiful green, quiet place, a lovely clean room with its own water filter, safe, mosquito netting on the windows, a comfy mattress, tasteful decor and spectacular view of Arunachala and wonderful staff.

Single travellers could feel completely safe and relaxed here and the rooms were clean, spacious and tastefully decorated with touches like, filtered water and air conditioning very much appreciated.

Rooms could be more tidy

But no complaints as Dr. Satyan is very nice and helpful and we had  a nice stay and kucky to have view of Arunagiri swamy every day

the rooms are clean and beautifully decorated!

The room itself was tidy and clean and beautifully decorated.

The room was clean, well-lit (there were 3 choices for lighting, not just a fluorescent bulb!

I accept the facilities told by other customers like books in the room, RO water for each room , hill view from GH, serene calm location etc.

There were some books in the room which we could read.

We have booked a room for two nights on 29-31st March 2013 on 30th October 2012 ie 6months back.

One tip would be to get the room name in the reservation to confirm that you have the room as they do not have numbers (Ganesha, Lakshmi, etc. ).

The garden looked lush and dis not show any sign of the just past severe summer.

I will show you your room and you just get some rest".

Nor did we receive any communication on the original booking status!!!

However, my only real complaint about the place is that there are always dirty ashtrays on the front steps, because some of the staff members smoke and that's where they do it. I do wish they would at least empty and wash the ashtrays a few times a day (hint, hint.)

With garlands of integrity placed around our necks we retraced our steps back to the car and off for a wholesome breakfast of tea and masala dosas. Yum!

They helped us with the temple darshan and also guided us on the walk around the massive mountain.

She gave me the city route map and helped me to start the Girivalam from which temple.

A special VIP tour of Arunachala Temple before you go?

He is a very entertaining and informative tour guide, who brought special meaning to the places we visited.

There is a beautiful huge lake right behind the guest house where you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day amid the lush green farming field.

The downstairs garden area is shaded by trees, and there's an awesome view of Arunachala from the roof.

Shanti, clean, wonderful view of Arunachala and the lake, shrine, yoga hall, nature, full equipped shared kitchen.

The best part is there a clear view of Arunachala and it’s close to the Ramana Ashram.

Great view of Arunachala from the balconies.

With the best view of Arunachala and a lake,beautiful garden, comfortable room and lovely people that are always with a smile.

The guest house is situated in a very serene location away from the pollution and noise and overlooking the Arunachala Hill.

One can sit and have a view of the surrounding landscape.

It is nice environment, room is spacious and well decorated, with each room a rocking chair, view of the mountain.

It is a beautiful setting, surrounded with greenery and has views of the mountain in some rooms and from the upper level yoga and satsang room; it felt like a sanctuary to me, where I could easily practice yoga, meditation and listen to the talks that were regularly happening.

Also the view to Arunachala is breathtaking.

And a great view of the mountain Arunachala.

The view of the Sacred mountain Arunachala is breathtaking.

The place is decorated with refined taste ,the garden is  green and lush ,each room as an a/c and a fan .it is quiet and peaceful with excellent view of Arunachala especially from the second floor and roof top hall.there are bikes or scooters available to use by the guest which makes it very easy to move about without the hassle of having to rent elsewhere.the owner Satya is a very friendly generous and very giving individual .embodying the true heart of mother India.he also runs a orphanage for girls which is supported by the income from the guest house .by staying there you will be also supporting the orphanage .have a wonderful and a spiritually enriching experience .

It has a beautiful view of Arunachala and we couldn't have asked for a better place.

but still close to the city.. and has the most beautiful Arunachala view from the rooftop meditation hall. enjoy!!

Rooms are well furnished and neat and clean .

Staff sorted it out.Rooms are  clean,.Bathroom size apt.A/C in working condition.

Very friendly staff and very clean rooms.

The hotel is good in terms of quality, cleanliness and value.

Room is neat and clean with a/c.It is walking distance to Sri Ramana Maharishi and Sri Seshadri Swamigal Ashram.Arunachaleshwar temple is about 2-3 kms from here.Had a good stay with family.

lovely smaller hotel,booking very friendly english was better then some places.,Room were clean,hot water and quiet.BRKS was included limited

but the room and bathroom were very clean and the location is very convenient to the Ashram.

Very modern, large clean rooms, ask for superior for 1500R + tax (1800R) or get the executive 2200R + taxes because they have a shaded terrace!

from the moment we arrived, we felt at home, all the staff were friendly, efficent and professional .the room was basic , large enough and very clean!.

The restaurant is clean with air conditioning.

but because we were 3people/3bedrooms, they made a discount (23$/pers), the bedroom was clean, bathroom also, no noises during the night, very well located, just in front of the ramana ashram ! !

Polite and cooperative staff and spacious rooms, it is sheer delight to stay at Aakash Inn.

All rooms are equipped with branded & functional basic gadgets.

We had booked a suite which was wonderful and spacious for 6 members.There were 2 rooms which had separate split AC.The restaurant was the best.

Food is quite good and the rooms are well maintained.

The wash room is very clean and big,except the lighting is a bit dimm.

Arunachal Giri is visible from balconies of Aakash inn and the well ventilated design allows Thiruvannamalai s heavenly air to permeate each of its well kept and tidy rooms.

However, TV programmes are in local language only.

The other drawback is the TV plays only tamil channels and clarity was not great.

I visited tiruvannamalai on Oct 27th and stayed here,I used to stay normally in arpanaa or aakash But for the price which is provided its not worth,
Very difficult to park the vehicle,

The hotel is located little far away from the temple, bus stop and need a vehicle to travel.

(Got the information from room attendant, that they had a lift in the past.. due to some accident they closed it with walls.  )

Water started leaking from our ac in the middle of night, fell on the bed.

3) The complimentary water bottle (1 per day), milk powers, coffee powders and tea bags are not refilled after room cleaning . .

The view is excellent as I had a mountain facing room from which I could watch the Deepam being lit.

The roof top yoga hall facing the mountain had so much of energy to meditate in.

Located at a very peaceful location and with a fantastic mountain view, we booked the premium balcony view however we had got Queen room  apperantly an upgrade.. on the ground floor ..but actually we didn't like the room..  which was changed later..Overall staff had  a sense customer centricity.. and were courteous  and we did not take much time or hassle in settling down

It's location is it's high point since, if you get the right facing room, you get to see the Hill and the Temple.

I would like to highlight two other points as well.

The hotel was called at 15:00 and we check for available rooms, the receptionist confirmed that rooms were available and did not take a reservation request on the phone.

Didnt have bath towels and i didnt request too.

Room was neat and tidy well maintained and was added with coffee maker and fridge.

It is just a few meters away from the temple (North Gopuram) and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

The property is clean and good view rooms.

The temple view from the terrace is very nice and there is a cosy feel to the place.

If your purpose is to visit the temple in Tiruvannamalai this is very good as you can see the Giri(Mountain) and North Gopuram( room no 206 has street view for us 😒).

Stayed two nights here, in a great room (306)which has a fab' view of the temple complex.

The rooftop balcony had a brilliant view of the temple.

Pongal holidays with a spiritual sojourn with no idea where to stay .. On trip advisor search we landed in this hotel at night .Oolaa.. A2B restaurant welcomed us next to reception desk.. we made our decision.. stayed in the annexure ( looks newly built) Neat and clean rooms ,spacious and lots of fresh feeling.. Little slow room service

Clean rooms, good hotel A2B in the ground floor.

Had stayed for a night in Aug.. Pros are clean rooms,  24hrs check out, under ground parking.. A2B restaurant is on the ground floor of this building and hence you don't need to go any further for delicious food.. No cons as such, except this is about a couple of km away from the bus stand/temple

The room smelt like urine the whole time. 3.

The bathroom smelt like urine too, the toilet had urine stains because they didnt clean it.

There are stains everywhere in the toilet.

I was so upset with my tour agent for booking this hotel.

This place was booked by my tour agent..  First look, a decent place to stay a night.
