I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Athena hotel. Having initially booked for 30 nights I subsequently extended for another ~2 weeks. The staff are wonderful. The location is not entirely convenient for the Ramana Ashram, which is ~45 minutes’ walk away or ~8 minutes by Autorickshaw (~150 Rs). The location has the advantages of being less noisy and polluted than being in the immediate vicinities of either the Ramana Ashram or the Arunachalesvara Temple. Girivalam Road is close by via a short access route that joins the road at the Niruthi Lingam.

Happy with my stay at Athena Room-202, first floor. It was a Queen Suite with a comfy double bed and balcony. Location is very near to the highway and jus few meters is the hotel. Nice room facilities with a chair and sofa in the room. Balcony had additional two comfy plastic chairs. Nice view of the Arunachala hills from the room and balcony. A very spacious car parking provided. Restaurant was placed in the ground floor and room service was very good. Very happy with the quickest check-in and check-out at the facility. Overall it was a wonderful trip and thanks to Athena and it's staff for the great hospitality.

The corner room was huge. The aircon worked well. The room was very quiet. The evening buffet was simple, but OK. Some of the staff were nice, and some avoided smiling or eye contact.
The breakfast was really only for Indian guests, so I could not really have much to eat. The bathroom is one big room with the shower in the middle, so, as soon as you have showered and changed, and you want to use the toilet, you have to take off your socks and roll up your trousers to use the toilet, or even wash your hands in the basin.

no hand towels, toilet paper is of a very low quality, no mop in the wet room so there is a huge risk of falling on a wet floor. no instructions on how to use the safe in the room or we didn’t no at first that there is a heater for the hot water

The location is very serene & the view of Arunachala hill from my room was beautiful. We stayed in the king suite which is very spacious. The room was clean. Food was good & the staff members were courteous. Mr. John was cordial & I thank him for all the help.
There are lizards in the room. A big lizard fell on my foot when I was in the bathroom. The are mosquitoes too. The shower doesn’t work properly. It’s very old & has to be replaced. Both the main shower & the hand shower weren’t working properly. The room service has to be improved. They took one hour to get a cup of tea.

I have stayed in this hotel before so I knew it. There are a few things I would now improve. The downstairs public toilet needs to be painted and a new trash can put in there. However, the hotel has aged since I was first there so some refreshing always needs to be done. One the whole I enjoy being there and like the staff who are excellent. Also, I booked at the very last minute and they were able to accomodate us and upgraded us for one night. That was a real treat!

The property is as described in the picture. Conveniently located just out of the city. There is sufficient parking space based on the property size. Reception area is nice and staffs are well trained. My room was relatively big and all items were super clean. I stayed for one night and tried all 3 meals. They were really good and not that pricey as well. I definitely recommend this place.
1. The signboard on the main road is hard to notice due to trees around. 2. The recreational room didn't seem to be well maintained.

Athena Hotel at Thiruvannamalai exceeded our expectations. IT was quite a high end hotel compared to what you get around in that area. Noise level was non-existent which really helps you sit and meditate or observe the scenery. The staff at the hotel is very accomodative to your requests and goes out of its way to help the guests right from checking in to booking an auto or taxi. Food was amazing. the restaurant prepared fresh food daily and based on crowd offered buffet vs. made to order dinner. Overall, very pleasant stay. Will come again.
Room freshners can help especially in the bathroom. The water could cause slippage for the elderly in the bathroom. Something to note for the hotel staff to avoid mishaps.
