We needed a clean and reasonable hotel with basic amenities near Egmore station and this was perfect. We missed the chance to have breakfast here because of our early train but would certainly use again and recommend.

Cockroach infestation needs to be addressed
The hotel is at a convenient location and the rooms are pretty spacious and comfortable, the staff is courteous too. But the rooms have a terrible cockroach infestation, they were in the cupboard, bathroom, on the bed and tables. When we informed the staff, they changed our room, but the new room wasn't any different. They definitely need to get pest control and fumigation done. The buffet breakfast spread is good, otherwise the food is average.

Good hotel close to Chennai Egmore train station
We had a good stay at this hotel. We chose this hotel because it is at walking distance of train station Chennai Egmore. The area around the hotel is lifely. Inside the hotel it is quiet. The room was good and we liked the breakfast, although there were only a few continental options.

Economical hotel at the heart of Chennai
It is an economical hotel at the center of Chennai. Suitable for business traveller's looking for a clean and cost effective hotel. Rooms are small, considering one staying out of the hotel for most of the day and using the room only for sleep it is sufficient. Cleanliness is very good.. There are 2 restaurants, vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian room for improvement in the quality of taste. The staff are very co-operative and for a change local calls and few printouts of any important documents is done free of charge, however there is a charge of INR 100/hour for the hotel PC use for internet. Internet connection is available and satisfactory. Overall a very Good hotel. If you looking for a holiday type hotel for travel with family then this is not the one.T

Sonia, London

Average hotel, indifferent staff at reception
Hotel was decent enough although room was disappointing compared with the lobby and restaurant area. The bar and staff in the basement was good and hotel was in a convenient location. We selected a different hotel when we came back to Chennai mainly because of the reception staff who didn't want to help us get some change for the tuk tuk when we arrived, or help us with onward transportation.
