Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

United States, February 2025

5.0/10

This hotel unfortunately failed to meet expectations. The room had an unpleasant smell, poor lighting, and uncomfortable noise levels due to its location by a highway. On the bright side, the bathroom was functional, but really basic and not particularly clean. The rooftop restaurant, while having potential, fell short in both ambiance and food options. Overall, it seemed quite overpriced for what was provided.

Rooms

I had a rather disappointing experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean, they were too small for the price I paid and didn't have a few essentials like a tea maker. The service at the front desk wasn't helpful, which added to my frustration. However, I did find the complimentary breakfast decent and enjoyed the unique terrace dining area. Overall, I think there are more suitable options available for travelers in Chennai.

I had a really frustrating experience at this hotel. While the location is quite central, making it easy to access business areas and shopping, the hygienic conditions were quite poor, and the service was painfully slow. My room was not cleaned properly, which left a bad impression. The staff's hospitality was decent, but they seriously need to step up their service levels and cleanliness standards.

The location is convenient for those traveling in the area, but the air conditioning could use an upgrade.
