Ulala Hostels - Feels like HOME features air-conditioned accommodation in Tiruvannāmalai. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

The rooms will provide guests with a fridge. I had a wonderful stay at the hostel, largely thanks to its excellent utilities and warm hospitality provided by Hari & Atchaya. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds & cupboard/luggage space. I really liked the mobile charge hangers next to each bed. During our stay, we played a few board games and enjoyed chatting with the host & other travelers. The terrace provides a good view of the surroundings. The place is a must visit during the full moon. I would definitely visit this place again. The shared kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals, and the common lounge was a great spot to relax and meet fellow travelers. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help, offering local tips and ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. Their welcoming attitude made the place feel like a home away from home.

Located in Auroville and within 10 km of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, HostelExp, Auroville - A Rural Retreat Experience features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is situated 10 km from Manakula Vinayagar Temple, 10 km from Pondicherry Museum and 10 km from Bharathi Park. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a garden view. The Truth About HostelExp in Auroville… (From Someone Who Stayed Over a Week) I booked HostelExp for just one night but ended up staying over a week. It’s one of those places that’s easy to settle into—comfortable, quiet, and thoughtfully run 🌿🛖. The yoga shala was a real highlight 🌳🧘‍♂️. It’s clean, peaceful, and felt like a great place to start each day. The whole property is well-maintained, and you can tell there’s real care behind the scenes. Everything from the rooms to the common spaces had a calm, intentional vibe 🍃. What I appreciated most was the balance between community and personal space 🍂🪷. There were always friendly people around, but it never felt busy or overwhelming. I could join in or take time for myself, and both felt equally supported. Nitish was really helpful before I even arrived, sending clear directions and making the whole process simple 🛤️. Once I got there, he made sure I felt welcome. Lucky, who helps take care of the space, was kind and friendly too 🌼🙂. For what’s offered, the price is very fair 🍀. If you’re heading to Auroville and looking for a quiet, conscious place to stay, HostelExp is a great choice. I’d definitely come back 🌺✨.
