There's a restaurant on site. A terrace, multilingual staff, and tour/ticket assistance are also featured at Hotel Sownthariyam. Free self parking is available.
We had booked a basic room and stayed 1 night as we had plan for darshan for early morning.The hotel is just a basic hotel. Easy to get food and transport once we come out. It is in a busy road. No restaurant or elevator provided in the hotel. Their own restaurant ( reasonably clean, tasty food) is there at the exit. Our room was in 2nd floor. Staff are polite. There is no Wi Fi for our room.
Traveled with Spouse, kids & with my parents. Booked 2 Triple rooms with AC. Amazed by the quality of the rooms and was a pleasant stay. Again another day booked 2 deluxe dbl rooms (non AC) based on availability online - was touched when the hotel gave us a free upgrade to executive AC rooms. Overall, Excellent & Clean rooms, amazing service, nice car parking, well located. We were given a free upgrade as well... Loved this hotel and I know where to stay when in and around Palani.
Good staff. Very professional and check in was smooth. Nice clean rooms and clean bathroom. Good hot water. Walking distance to Temple Hill - just 1.2 km. If you don't feel like walking, it is easy to get an auto rickshaw for 50 rupees. The staff arranged a taxi for us to the Coimbatore Airport for a very reasonable price. Their vegetarian restaurant was Indian and Chinese. Room Service was fast. However, North Indian dishes and Naan had sugar added making them sweet which is a surprise for diabetics and those familiar with savory North Indian foods. No Wifi in room (we travel with hotspot), No bottled water. No In room safe (drawer without keys)
BEWARE - General practice while staying in India - When you get Room Service, if you pay or charge it to the room, MAKE SURE YOU GET A RECEIPT COPY AND KEEP IT WITH YOU. If you pay tell them to sign PAID. Otherwise you might see unexplained items on the bill. GET A RECEIPT FOR EVERYTHING YOU PAY FOR â ROOM CHARGES, ETC. (Except tips, of course).
