Stayed here for a night to visit the temple on a trip from Bangalore. Reserved via Booking.com and no advance payment on booking was requested, we paid after we reached the hotel. We were given executive twin and junior suite rooms. Parking is available for several 4 wheelers, Humble staff and excellent service at reception, restaurant and even security and bell staff. Good food - out breakfast was complimentary and came in with booking and had a decent variety of good tamilnadu fare. We also had lunch and dinner here and tried a lot of it from Hara bhara kebab, pizzas, aloo Paratha, paneer gravy and some soups - all were excellent, we did have some complaints on a burnt pizza which they replaced with no questions asked which was well appreciated. One of the rooms had a mountain view which was great. Good spacious rooms as well, only negative to call out was that one of the rooms was not cleaned properly, there was hair and dirt on a pillow and bathrooms otherwise good stay option and about a km from the temple as well! On checkout, they also gave us a photo of arunachaleswar and temple vibhuti which was a nice gesture

We stayed at hotel Arpanna on September 3/4 2022..booked two rooms for our family stay.
The rooms are well maintained though they are in the sevice for more than 10 years.

The food was excellent and all of the family members felt it was equal to home food.

Further the staffs are sincer obident and friendly . We can recommend for family stay.

The only negative comment would be the price they charge for the water bottle. The management should decide about this.

Stayed for 2 nights starting from 9th September. Check in at the Reception was quite fast and rooms are neatly kept. The restaurant service was quite good and also took care of our extra and special requirements. Nicest part of the restaurant and hotel service was the utmost honesty and integrity with which the hotel staff has restored our lost hand bag with lot of valuables which we forgot while having Breakfast at the restaurant and the hand bag was kept safely at the Reception under the Supervision of the Manager Mr. Venkatraman. The Hand Bag was restored to us with all valuables in tact and it is very nice of the entire team to have such an honesty and integrity to take care of Guest's valuable belongings. Overall we had a very comfortable and safe stay in the hotel and our thanks to the team led by Mr. Venkatraman for their service and integrity.

Friendly staffs and service is good. Decent car park. We stayed in an Executive room which is charged for Rs 5000 - Though room is big ambiance is not good, electrical connections are outdated, furnishing is not sufficient, like it has only 2 regular chairs, no sofas, no comfy chairs. TV size is very small like a monitor..No AC remote. In Bathroom, no hand shower, no tub. Food: Coffee is very bad, the breakfast buffet is ok, but the lunch was not good and expensive

Spacious, clean, and well-equipped rooms. Thoughtful touches everywhere, right from the welcome drink, extra mattress (foldable comfy bed), potpourri in the restroom or the memento. Attached restaurant serves good food in buffet and alacarte style. Prices on the higher side but all in all a stress free and enjoyable experience with the hotel.

We had had a long driving day from Mahabalipuram to Tiruvanamalai and were glad to arrived at this oasis of a hotel.

Check-in was a little rough as the hotel credit card reader was not working. After a few minutes of haggling, they let us check in anyway without a credit card. It was working the following day and we paid.

The hotel is clean and the restaurant people were very nice and helpful, but the front desk, not so much.

Our room was decent but the WIFI signal was poor. In order to use the WIFI I had to stand out in the hallway. Surely they can do better.

We got up early to walk the kora around the mountain and we returned around 10:30. They were just closing breakfast but they kept it open and plentiful and tasty. Thank you! As I mentioned, the restaurant staff went out of their way to make you feel like a guest. The Indian breakfast served was delicious.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Keen to assist where they can. Wifi a bit inconsistent but OK. Rooms comfortable. Bathrooms need a deep clean to remove scale etc. Inefficient fridge only getting to 15 degrees ( I carry a thermomenter!) Bed comfortable but linen a bit grey. Good to have a kettle and daily tea and coffee sachets. Air con efficient. Reasonable range of food in restaurant, not all available all the time but substitutes suggested. Buffet at weekends very popular..

Room Tip: Rooms at the back are much quieter. Front faces a main road and is near bus station so horn noise...

Service has become worst days going by.
We had book d a superior room and night I couldn't sleep because of the fantastic sound Split AC was producing throughout the night.
And the management is hardly bothered to rectify this things.

For the price the hotel is not worth, there are plenty of other hotels in tiruvannamalai which gives superb service.

It was my first visit to Tiruvannamalai with my family. The experience in Aparnaa was just awesome. The hotel looks a bit old from the outside, but the rooms and facilities are well maintained. Our room was spacious and clean. Location wise it falls on the girivalam route and is close to the temple.

The breakfast was very good and my kids enjoyed it. Also, was the dinner.

The best part of the hotel is the staff and management. They take care of you like a family. The hotel arranged for an excellent temple darshan at a convenient time.

Thank you Mr Sriram, Mr.Venkat and all the staff for making our stay memorable.
