Athena Hotel

Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean with excellent service in where we had dinner. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit soon.

On 9th Aug 2025, We visited Tiruvannamalai with family and took room in Hotel Athena. The room was very specious, cleanliness is excellent. In the center of the hotel there is a nice restaurant, the food quality is very good. Afternoon there will be buffet lunch(Vegetarian - Soup, rice, millet upma, sambar, paneer, curd, rasam, papad ... etc.) with reasonable price) and dinner Idli, Dhosa Chapathi, Fried rice, Ghee rice, Jeera rice, Daal tarka, paneer etc options are available. And morning complementary breakfast (Idli, Dhosa, Bread-Butter, Poori, Upma, Pongal, Juice etc ...) At evening 6 PM, I and my wife left for the Girivalam (Parikrama) and we left our small daughter and my mother in the hotel room. From the restaurant food was delivered to the room for our daughter and mother for dinner. There is a swimming pool for kids and adult, but no water in the kids pool, my daughter and I enjoyed in the same pool. Very friendly staff and receptionist, we like the location of the hotel. It is in very peaceful area, Annamalai hill view balcony.

Thoughtful and Heartfelt Hospitality Experience! We stayed for two nights at this property during our temple visit, and the hospitality exceeded our expectations. The team went above and beyond with their customer-centric approach. We highly recommend this place — it's a one-stop solution for all your local needs. Truly a seamless and thoughtful experience. With love and many thanks from Gary & Family Singapore 2025❤️

Very good hotel. Food quality is very good. The staff are excellent. Very cordial. Amenities are good. I must appreciate the staff that they are so helpful, cordial and good behaviour. Small suggestion : At the time of breakfast all boys are busy, but one Supervisor / Senior Staff members presence is required at the Restaurant to look after the guests. If time and chance permits, I would love to stay here with my family again. Thanks to Management.

Whenever we travel to Thiruvannamalai, our preferred place of stay is always Athena. The hotel provides outstanding accommodation with contemporary amenities. The dining options are of high quality, and the location is exceptionally convenient. The staff members are professional, courteous, and consistently deliver excellent service. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to all visitors.

We had dinner here. Ambience and location service all good. But I'm a bit dissatisfied with the food. All the food items they are served with are a bit sweet flavour. The overall experience is good. One time try. Prices are less compared to other restaurants.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. The rooms are quite big and clean, the staff is also very cooperative and helpful. They also help in calling auto drivers for temple visits as the hotel is a little inside from the main junction. It's 15-25 min. Away from the main temple and bus stop. The overall property is beautiful. There is also a good restaurant in the hotel, room service is also an option, food is really good. There is a swimming pool, terrace and a backyard as well where you can chill and relax. You'll also find many foreigners staying at this beautiful hotel. Totally recommended for families.

Nice place to stay. Clean rooms, good customer service. Approx 4 km from temple but have local autos for commute. Breakfast that was covered with the stay turned out to be good.
