Must start by saying that I did not like Chennai..least favourite South India city. Hotel very cheap,close to station,in courtyard back from bustling streets..just not a nice atmosphere..as a tourist from UK.Balcony outside bedroom nice for smokers. There is a security man on each floor.

The hotel is well located and is just a few minutes away from Egmore railway station. It is also located at a place where various types of shops, stores, etc are aplenty. The hotel is quite large, spacious and has ample choice of rooms. Problem is it hugely lacks proper maintenance. We stayed in standard non-a.c. rooms in the extreme... More

This hotel is quieter and in slightly better condition that some on the main street. That said the service was poor and the rooms basic. The linens were dirty (which seemed to be the case in most places) and we were bitten by bed bugs. We stayed only 1 night and when checking out the manager tried to charge us... More

Please do not book this hotel. The standard rooms that you book are so shabby that in fact the Hotel owners as well expect you to upgrade. The service is poor...I got a NO for asking a Towel change after a 2 days stay. This should give u some idea. Rooms are shabby with cockroaches...Although they have put the A/C,... More

I stayed in this hotel in January 2011. Most of the hotel guests are cockroaches of every size. Changed the room after the 1st night, but it was not much better than the first one. DONT BOOK ONLINE, U DONT HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THE MONEY BACK. The pictures you see from the owners are "photoshopped" and are rooms... More

The title says everything. It was disgusting to lay in the bed, I didn't feel really comfortable. The fan is way too load, to fall asleep is almost impossible. My front door looked like somebody tried to break in some days before. I can't recommend it. The only thing positive, it's close to a train station, but there are some... More
