Hotel Ramakrishna

Hotel Ramakrishna offers a pleasant stay with well-kept and decent rooms. It's located close to the Annamalauar temple, and an auto ride to the temple costs about 150-200 INR. The hotel has an in-house restaurant where the food quality and taste are satisfactory. A great feature is its proximity, just 500 meters, from the last lingam at the end of Girivalam, making it a convenient spot to rest after a long walk. Additionally, it is situated near the railway station and the old bus stand.

Excellent hospitality with courteous staff, clean rooms, and a temple that is very easy to access.

Best budget hotel under ₹2000 with great value. Location is excellent, just 350 meters from the Old Bus Stand in Tiruvannamalai. To get there, after arriving at the New Bus Stand, you can take an auto or a mini bus that runs between the New and Old Bus Stands, which takes about 10 minutes, then walk from the Old Bus Stand. The room condition is excellent with very clean bedsheets and a great bathroom. The AC works wonderfully, almost like centralized air conditioning, making the room feel like a movie theater. Room service is very good, delivering food directly to your room, whether tiffin or meals, though it takes exactly 30 minutes. Hot water with solar heating is available. The reception staff are polite, responsive, and accommodating, allowing a 30-minute checkout extension if you are delayed by darshan or girivalam trips. It would be better if the in-house restaurant, currently under renovation, opens soon and if tiffin service starts earlier than 8 am, as many guests need to leave early for darshan or girivalam. Food is very good and affordable, with meals at ₹160 and tiffin for two people around ₹200, with hot, well-cooked rice and tasty curries. Note that hotels near the Main Temple have checkout at 11 or 11:30 am and check-in at 12 pm, but Hotel Ramakrishna's check-in starts at 2 pm and checkout is at 12-12:30 pm, which is convenient for extra time for darshan or girivalam. Overall, I would give this hotel a 10/10 for all services.

But room service takes exactly 30 minutes.Staff: Reception staff were very polite responsive immediately and if we have any delays due to late darshan or late girivalam trip they can extend checkout time to 30 minutes. Very cordial and polite staff who understands our problem.What could have been better: They must open their in-house restaurant inside the hotel as it is under renovation. tiffin should be available from morning 6 am onwards, currently they offer tiffin at 8 am but for people who need to go for darshan or girivalam it's an inconvenience. I Hope they solve this issue at the earliest.Food: Food was exceptionally good especially the meals were very affordable at 160 and rice was hot and we'll.cooked and curries were also good and tiffin are also affordable for 2 people nearly 200.POINT TO BE NOTED: Hotels near the Main Temple offer checkout at exactly 11 am or 11:30 am the Next day.

I stayed for only one day. I booked through this platform. Due to family emergency, I had to leave by staying for only a night. I have asked them to process the refund. They asked to speak to the this platform customer care. Customer care told, if the primary hotel gives approval for refund, they ll process it. But the primary hotel didn't gave. Otherwise facilities are good.
