Never stay in this hotel even if you are offered a free stay. The bathrooms are HORRIBLY maintained. The staff treat you with grim faces and are extremely rude. Save your money and the horror, and please find another hotel!!

Hotel Ashoka doesnt have any great interiors or anything great about it. Its location is central and one can go to Mount Road for shopping. Thier south indian breakfast is really good but lunch is not so good. Services was really bad & the language also was an issue as their understanding of Hindi was really poor. Please do enjoy...

I visited this Hotel to stay along with my Mother as we had gone to Chennai for her medical checkup. This is a no frills hotel but one of the finest. We took a cottage and believe me it reminded me of the old world charm. Huge room with a seating area and a huge bath with a dressing room.... More

I was suffering from a stomach bug, so was looking for more in the way of mid-range comforts than are offered in the budget places where I often stay. Unfortunately the room I was offered here was no improvement on most of the cheapo places on nearby Kennet Lane, despite being 3 times the price. The only "advantage" was A/C,... More

If you are looking for a budget hotel, this is a choice worth consideration. The main charm of this hotel is its restaurant 'Abhinandan' which is amazing and you will get to see loads of cars parked just for the food. Rooms are fine with lot scope for improvement but as for a budget hotel, this is a good destination... More

The hotel has a vegetarian restaurant and the rates are pretty reasonable for both the accomodation and the restaurant. A complimentary breakfast awaits every day which can be availed only by visiting the restaurant. Tip the waiters well at first, for good service during the stay.
