Room ventilation could be better and room service like cleaning should be done daily
Pros:

Good place to stay: good price for a double single room with private bathroom and fan. everything is clean(not easy to find it in India). The owner is very kind, helpful and respectable. I will recommend to book a room here, you will be safe and comfortable

Cons:

The room was clean, but ventilation could be made better as windows open to closed space
The location is quite appropriate, food and visiting places are nearby also vehicles and metro is at close distances

Nice view and nice ambient and beautiful rooftop
Pros:

The atmosphere is calming. This has been one of the most comfortable spaces I've been in recent times. Minimal, but good facilities and an amazing ambience. Budget friendly space. Keep the expectations low though. The minimum is there and they do it well :) Definitely going back here.

Cons:

Beautiful heritage building in the heart of Chennai. Stayed in the room with private bathroom for ten days. Very spacious and comfortable. Good money value. I would definitely go back.
