Stayed for three days in April 2012 on a short trip to savor South India. Located in a quiet, leafy nook in the heart of the city, this B&B makes a great base from which to enjoy Chennai and surrounds. There are three rooms, with ensuite bathrooms, in each of two elegant, converted apartments occupying one floor of a residential... More

We stayed at Footprint twice - we were only really visiting Chennai as a stopover on our way to the Andaman Islands. We stayed for one night on the way out and two on the way back. We had the same room on both occasions and were delighted with both stays. Rucha had arranged for someone to collect us and... More

My husband and I stayed here for a month as we were doing a course in chennai. Footprint is in the nicest part of the city, a quiet leafy street that's close to a lovely cafe, a great Thai restaurant, yoga studio, pizzeria etc. it's very central so venturing out anywhere is pretty easy. The staff are all lovely and... More

We enjoyed a delightful 9-day stay in Footprint B & B. Our high expectations of Footprint, based on reviews in this forum, were fully met. The premises are impeccably maintained and there is a friendly, welcoming atmosphere which can not possibly be achieved in big hotels or even in so-called boutique hotels. The location is excellent, with easy access to... More

The place itself is a bit tricky to find, but it's worth it. The location is pretty central although there doesn't seem to be a truly central place in Chennai. It's around 15 mins by taxi from Ft George and relatively close to many other attractions like St Thomas Church and some of the nice temples. The staff is very... More

My colleagues and I spent almost a month in Chennai over two trips in October and November 2011. I would not travel to Chennai by choice and was reluctant to even for work. India is hard - Chennai I believe is easier than Mumbai - but still, I couldn't wait to leave India. The people I liked, the living conditions... More

This is a beautifully located (just far enough from crowded areas) right behind the Park-Sheraton Hotel on a leafy residential street. The rooms are lovely, even though we crammed 3 adults into one room. Breakfast is excellent, but mostly, the service from the owner and her staff was exemplary. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

After seeing what money could buy in other parts of India this was an incredible surprise. It is a guesthouse not a home stay however Rucha the manager lives upstairs and one of the staff is here at all times. This is what we would consider a nice place to stay by Aussie standards! Our room is quite large with... More

Friendly staff, excellent service, clean and modern rooms and a central location. The staff could not do enough to ensure our comfort. I have no hesitation in recommending footprints to anyone wishing to stay in Chennai. A great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Chennai. A great thai resturant just down the road too.
