Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located on the main road near the station, offering a central spot to explore the city. While the room was comfortable with a good bed and hot water shower, cleanliness issues were noticeable. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the variety of food options. The service was pleasant with attentive staff, although improvements in some areas are needed.
The hotel is conveniently located near the station, making it easy to reach different areas. The rooms were really good, especially the bed and the hot water shower, very neat and tidy with all the amenities as per our preference; however, the dining options were below average. The service was friendly, but not that pleasant while speaking, including the manager, and the location is very near Egmore and Central railway stations.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a very neat and clean bathroom. Although the buffet breakfast has a decent spread of south delicacies, adding more items would enhance the experience. The service is considerate, with a good discount offered for any inconvenience. The location is central, right across from Egmore station, offering easy access to various parts of Chennai. The dining experience is enjoyable with varieties of food items, and the facilities are well-managed.
The hotel offers a great location near Chennai Egmore with easy access to transportation. The rooms were a bit dusty but overall comfortable, especially the bed and hot water shower. The service was attentive and courteous, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience was superb with a delightful selection of South Indian and Continental dishes.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were neat and tidy with all the amenities but lacked some basic necessities. The service was supportive but could be more courteous. The location was perfect for my business visit to Chennai, and the dining was nice but limited. The facilities were adequate.
The hotel offers compact rooms with basic amenities expected from a 5-star hotel but lacks cleanliness and appears dusty. While the rooms are considered value for money, they could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. Overall, the hotel falls short of being a good value for the price.
