Agréable séjour dans un petit hôtel bien placé et à un tarif raisonnable.
Pros:

Excellent emplacement dans un quartier résidentiel proche de Mylapore. Excellent restaurant à 400 m (the Canton) et très bon petit déjeuner-buffet. Très bon accueil du gérant, personne fort sympathique et aidante. Petit hôtel agréable.

Cons:

Il faudrait deux serviettes de bain au lieu d’une. La salle de petit déjeuner pourrait être équipée de plus de tables et chaises voire prendre celui-ci sur la terrasse attenante.
