Wonderful hotel, with excellent staff. The rooms were well appointed, and very comfortable. Restaurants were decent. The lobby was wonderful, and comfortable. Swimming pool and the gym were good.
Location: on a busy street, with significant noise levels fro the surrounding areas, especially the loud music.
Bar: awful, very seedy, with massive amounts of smoke. Timings were ridiculous, as the bars close at 2230 hrs every night, including weekends.
The overall stay at the hotel was very good , with comfortable and very clean rooms, and very polite and helpful staff. The restaurants were good. The laundry service was very efficient and good. The lobby was a good place to relax and meet up with friends.
The breakfast served was delicious, with the south indian dishes..... exceptional!!!
The bar was a big let down.... smoky, seedy with resricted timings. The pool on the roof top was adequate, as was the gym.
I will probably stay at Hotel Annamalai again.
Travel tip : It is very easy and convenient to book a taxi from the front desk. The Auto-rickshaws outside are rude and will very easily fleece you.
