I already wrote a review for this so maybe they didn’t approve it. Average hotel in a really good location. Staff “helped” me get a cab to another place and it cost 2x as much as it would have if I’d been able to find a cab service on my own. Not overly pleased with that scam.

Liked: Staff & service
Central to Mylapore and close to Ramakrishna Math, Kabaleeshwarar temple, and Marina Beach. Ok for a few nights but overall condition of room was average. Hotel staff helpful but also “helped” me get a car to Thiruvannamalai when other plans didn’t work out... pretty sure they made a deal with the cab company and ripped me off for a few thousand rupees more than it should have been but I was out of options. If you are confident in your plans in Chennai and getting to or from other cities, it’s an average option that served to purpose.
The room is small and the facilities are just like 3- star.... but everything is in condition, they take hell lot of time to serve thing's. The gym, breakfast was perfect . Finally, it's little costly than the facilities count to u!!!!
