Stayed here for 1 night en route to Bangalore. Good for a transit hotel if you are travelling to Kerala or Bangalore and wanted to stay enroute for a night. Its on the Avinashi Road and very close to the Salem-Cochin bypass. I only had the breakfast here and was pretty fine with it. They had dosa, idli, vada, poori ( all freshly prepared - maybe bcoz we had it at 730AM), corn flakes(just ok), eggs, bread toast, some more items which i am not familiar with. The room was just fine and clean. if you are booking on the 4th floor, you need to take the lift to the 3rd floor and then climb up the stairs ( not good :( ). The Fan in the room is at a very low height, so please do not raise your hands while standing! The room was clean with double bed room , the toilet had hot water and was clean too. We didnt get the remote to the TV but it had all the necessary channels including sports and news ( in english). The service is average coz it took them 20 min to serve a cup of tea! The location is amazing as its close to the bypass and also there are some really good restaurants just 1 km away from it. You must visit the Annapoorna restaurant which is just 1 km away from it or the Haribhavanam ( serves nonveg also) which has amazing food. They dont have much space to park, maybe for 3 cars but i was lucky enough to be there on time to get a space. And most importantly its a cost effective hotel compared to Gokulam or Le Meridien...
ย ย ย Read moreI was on the way to Trishur and preferred not to drive into Coimbatore for the overnight stay. I had not booked any hotels and I spotted this place just after one takes the over bridge to Coimbatore from the national highway. The person at the reception was kind enough to show me the rooms before I made the booking. He also gave me a very competitive rate which was not the one displayed on the website or social media. Must thank him enough for that. The positivies of the hotel are that it is ideal for transit folks who do not want to get caught in the Coimbatore traffic. The rooms are spic and span and beds were very comfortable. The staff were also young energetic and helpful. The toiletries were also of very good quality and the large TV in the room is good for relaxing. There are several drawbacks too. The car parking cannot accommodate more than 3 cars and we would have to depend on parking on the highway which is risky. The switches in the rooms are poorly designed and it so difficult to find a convenient plug point. Hot water was not available 24/7 and they switched it on when I requested!!! Still I did not get hot water for an early morning bath. The last drawback is that it is next to the highway and the rooms are not...
ย ย ย Read moreWe found this hotel at Avinashi road near highway and have checked in at this hotel at night on our way to Bangalore. Acacia hotel is apprx 5 km from Coimbatore airport and apprx 14 km from Coimbatore Junction Rly station. Acacia is located just beside the Highway hence you neednot have to go in to the city if your are travelling in highway. This is a budget hotel, room size is adequate, room is neat, bathroom is also good, AC was also working without any complaint. Room has the required necessary paraphernalia. Food is available in their restaurant but a bit expensive when compared to their room tariff. We had food before checking in and left early morning and have not taken food from this hotel. Price range of this hotel is below Rs 2000. Being very close to highway, you need to be very careful in taking your vehicle in and out of this hotel and also while taking a U turn in to the other side of the road, as I saw everyone is speeding up through this area. This hotel is very convenient to highway travellers and I rate this...
