I should start by saying I'm not sure quite what the hotel is for.

Annamalai International is a really spectacular hotel. The room was ultra spacious and very good. The food was excellent and the breakfast was sumptious. Staffs were cordial. The room service as well as restaurant service was prompt. Air-conditioning was good in all the rooms and well ventilated.

I have revisited this property after a gap of one year and found that the level of service is improved than last year. One must have food at their vegetarian restaurant Haveli and try south indian thali to have genuine taste of south Indian taste.
