This hotel has made me remember and cherish India's old culture and tradition. In tamil , we call it 'Virundhombal', which means greatest hospitality . Indian culture is known for treating its guests with greatest respect. I have experienced it in Anamalai International. I am highly impressed with the food and the great experience with Chef Dr.Karthikeyan. Morning sambhar amd neer soru was the best. Home made masala, home grown farm fruits and kumbakonam coffee, all at one place. People who want to experience Indian tradition with great professional service , Annamalai International is the must place to visit. Rooms r spacious too. Must place to visit in Pondicherry. Try to get the Anamalais suite , that is the best experience with interconnected rooms.
