Annai in Saravana Bhavan Fine stay and Restaurant

They offered for a certain amount of coupon for breakfast & it can be redeemed.

I called the restaurant to book a Milk shake for my room, the guy said ok but no one delivered it ( it might be possible the guy did not understand ). But the food we ordered at the reception of the restaurant was received.

Room was clean

No coffee and tea maker, No drinking glass was provided in the room.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and large including the bathroom. It was walking distance to churches, shops, restaurants etc. Very convenient.

In the bathroom, there was no bench area to put the toiletries or clothing.

Location is very close to the church and it's very convenient to attend the holy mass

1. Tv didn't have a valid channel pack , we informed the reception but no action was taken. 2. The cleaning liquids have a strong smell. It was all over the room. My wife had a headache because of it3. No bathroom Mat4. Ac was not working properly 5. In booking.com they market their room with beach view but we didtnt get that room.

Bad

I booked one in Annai in Anand bhavan through booking. Com Rs 2800.But when i reach the property, they ask me more money for room Rs 4500/ because people is waiting for room, and they cancelled my booking also

Location right behind the church. The staff members are very friendly and helped us get the room we wanted.

There was no toilet paper and no kettle. Tariff includes breakfast but we were told there is no breakfast included

Clean and nice place very friendly staff

Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Washroom wS clean and tidy 24/7 hot water available.

I like the location and sirrounding ambience.

Breakfast was good.

Ac wasn't in working condition. Had to be repaired after we arrived .As its very humid in velankani very bad experience on just entering room after tiresome journey.

Breakfast was very good

Washroom cleanliness is poor with unclean plastic mug & bucket..no holder even for toiletries

Spacious… Staff behaviour Restaurant

Bit expensive par facilities

The location its literally 5 mins walk from the Basilica, Holy Walk & from the beach. Room size was good. Hot water available at all times. Towel/shampoo/body wash/talc provided, sockets, bed side table, air conditioner, table, chairs, night light, tv was provided but only with the free channels so limited options to watch. Wifi was available but weak network. I think the Saravana Bhavan brand name probably draws new customers (as I don't see anyone recommending this place or the service). Lift was available. Mosquito Repellent provided in room (requested during booking).

I paid twice the average nightly rate for similar hotels/rooms even though it was off season, but was left unimpressed. I had booked for 2 people but room was set up for 1 person (towel/shampoo/bodywash/talc) and I had to ask housekeeping and the reception 4-5 times before a second set was provided. A vegetarian breakfast is downstairs in the public restaurant and was supposed to be included in my booking but the reception didn't give me "vouchers" during check-in and even when I went and asked for it they seemed to do so grudgingly (so many guests probably paid instead of asking). Kids are allowed to run through corridors at all hours without any intervention by hotel so you might be disturbed if you are a light sleeper (also morning prayers on loud speakers near by can wake you up). The dirt & mud in the corridors were swept up but left near the door entrance for a while (meaning it all came inside again)

Location is the main plus point for this hotel. If you dont want to walk too much, then this is near all the key locations. Room was clean and staff were friendly.

NOISE- window opening onto the kitchen of the restaurant. All day and night long I could hear vessels being washed noisely. - There is an internal phone in every floor. When this rings, you can hear it very loudly in your room like an alarm. When this phone rings late in the night and 4am in the morning, couldnt sleep at all.FACILITIES- Aircon never worked for the one day I stayed there, although we called staff to repair. It didnt work again in the night. No point paying for AC room when AC doesnt work- Box sized room with just space for one person to walk on either side of the bed. VALUE FOR MONEY- Not worth. I would pay 1/3 the price or less for the room and facilities. Its only the location you are paying for. If you are ready to walk 5-10 minutes then you get rooms 3 to 4 times the size with very good facilities.

The location is very close to the church. The staff were very helpful. The food was great.

I liked how the room was suspicious and the room was very clean.

However the entertainment wasn’t working and there were no channels.There was also not enough towels.

The location of the hotel is very good, very close to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health Velankanni.

Restaurant is Vegetarain. I preferred non-veg.

good location , clean n good staff

they don’t provide toilet rolls

The Hotel was very near and convenient to the shrine . We received a very warm welcome and swift checkin….Room was very clean and amenities provided were satisfactory. Few requests were attended promptly by the staff .Although our stay was very short , we were very happy with the stay Keep up the good work ! God bless

Would be better if non veg is served in the restaurant .

Inside room was so good.This room was great value for money. Not even a minute to reach Church main building from the hotel. Vegetarian food was top class on the ground floor. The hotel staffs met our expectations.

Infrastructures around the hotel was not that much satisfied. Specially car parking area..

Proximity to the church and the beach

We requested for twin rooms. They confirmed but later said they don't have twin rooms. Rooms in the picture look great but actual rooms have tiny windows, request for an extra blanket was refused as laundry had not been delivered. Lift was not working.
