Buhari Royale Boutique Hotel

Okay

Property was okey.

Very unfriendly staff. Toilets are badly designed with no separate bathing area. Staff kept on saying as its a online booking many facilities were not available

Room comfort was ok. Bathroom needs improvement. Free breakfast was terrible. Coffee very bitter. No hair dryer for standard rooms. No toilet paper.

Pleasant Stay

Not a four star

We were pleasantly surprised to find this special hotel in the busy urban environment of Chennai. The staff were extremely attentive, assisting with luggage, answering questions, responding to concerns, etc. The hotel is also located very close to the airport, only about 2 km away, which was convenient in catching my flight out of India in a timely, relaxed manner.

While reading reviews I always discard the ones which are extreme, like its the worst!! or its the best of my life!!
So I would not give any extreme views. Our 5 day stay was pleasant , the staff was good in spite of the language barriers.
A small tip everywhere takes you a long way.
If you are not miserly you will enjoy.
good thing - near to the airport, cabs always available, easy to come back to from any point in city if you mention pallavaram flyover.
not so good things- none which i can think of

I had a short stay and would rate my experience as average. The dish TV signal was not strong and went off. The free wi-fi was ok. Food in the restaurant was good!

Rooms were clean. The room keys did not work properly and we had to check with reception every time. Skip the free breakfast and try the nearby Anandabhavan or Balajee.

Nice staff and a good place to see the old town

My wife and my in laws traveled to Chennai for a week and they needed a stay for a night before they fly from Chennai International Airport next morning. The basic disappointments are as below:

1. Room size: Too small room though we booked the best one which they claim to be deluxe.
2. Amenities: They claimed they have a mini-bar in the room. Though we found two cans of soda which I would not mention as mini-bar going ahead.
3. Cleanliness: Certain amount of smell was coming out of the whole room and the bathroom which will not give anyone a very nice feeling. Rooms were apparently just fine but not clean completely.
4. Bathroom: Should be more clean and the warm water did not work and it was not fixed.
5. Hotel Food: The restaurant had pathetic food. The north Indian cuisines were smelling of south Indian spices and they were tasteless and over priced. Its a pain after a long day if you want to survive on this!
6. Staffs: Barely understand english. So its very tough to connect with them.

Reached hotel to find it shares a common entrance with a crowded restaurant where you have to carry your luggage through a waiting crowd to reach an elevator. The hotel did not have the Expedia reservation. They apparently had not logged in for a few days. Finally got rooms assigned to find weird bathrooms where shower is not separate. You take a shower, you wet/flood the whole bathroom. This hotel is clearly not for any Western traveler.

Pros. Close to airport. Rooms quite clean. Cheap. Cons. Hotel motto 'service with a smile'. Hotel service anything but. Rude and offhand manner at reception badly let's down an already average hotel in a downmarket location. Rooms average and fairly clean but since hotel just opened expect this hotel standards to fall quickly. Can't recommend.

The room was denied and i had a pathetic experience. already escalated the issue with hotels.com

would not like to further elaborate the same thing here.

I stayed in the Hotel for two days. Hotel is very small. Rooms are few, may be that is why servicing was good. It was clean, centrally located Hotel.

Good compared to other hotels in the same rates or even more

Though the stay was very brief, the staff were courteous. New hotel worth the cost.

On the whole, good, and convenient to the airport. There were several problems, however: The air conditioner sprayed water over the bed and its contents, it was difficult getting Wi-Fi, and while the breakfast was fine, the tables (cloths and place mats) were dirty.

budget hotel..excellent location...market places near by..new hotel clean room
