A GREAT STAY - VALUE FOR MONEY
Pros:

I had the opportunity of staying in this hotel with my family for three nights (21st to 24th April).
I am happy to have taken the wise decision of staying here.
We were given Room-303 for our stay.
It made our stay very comfortable and safe with excellent staff, good restaurant, clean & spacious room with all facilities such as electric kettle, neat linen, sufficient supply of toiletries, bottled drinking water, wi-fi etc.
All the services such as housekeeping, room service etc were prompt and appreciable.
The food supplied in the in-house restaurant was of good quality.
Despite the election restraints the hotel was able to maintain their food supply uninterrupted.

The hotel is centrally located at T. Nagar, a commercial centre, in Chennai.
This hotel caters to both business and leisure travellers.
The hotel is conveniently placed with easy access to renowned shopping stores and many other important centres.
The in-house restaurant “Subhodayam” offers multicuisine apart from Andhra cuisine.
This restaurant is compact and comfortably located in the ground floor.
There is a rooftop bar “Sudaka” to entertain willing guests.
This hotel suits our budget with great comforts.
Through this review We would like to record our sincere thanks to all the staff particularly the reception executives for their excellent hospitality.
Recommended for a safe comfortable family stay.
It is a great budget stay at Chennai

Cons:

the corridor carpets could be renewed as the current one is worn-out and smelly.

Pros:

Hotel molto pulito, ordinato, ben arredato, letti comodissimi, aria condizionata regolabilissima, servizi igienici perfetti, prodotti da bagno ripristinati regolarmente, colazione ottima con un occhio anche al continental breakfast, ma soprattutto molto ricca di specialità indiane non esageratamente speziate,
con presenza costante di ottimi Halva a rotazione . Si possono richiedere omelette, dosa e altro preparato al momento... un bel punto di partenza per apprezzare la cucina indiana.
C'è la possibilità per auto e taxi di entrare fino alla porta dell'hotel dove lo staff si occupa degli ospiti.

Cons:

Unica pecca... la posizione, abbastanza vicina a T Nagar, ma su una strada molto trafficata e , come gran parte delle strade a Chennai. senza marciapiedi

A great one‑night stay in a perfect location with friendly staff, great breakfast
Pros:

We liked the location of the hotel. It is close to many restaurants within walking distance, which was perfect for our one‑night stay on the way to Pondicherry. We tried Biriyani Paradise nearby and would definitely recommend it. The hotel is also close to the bus and metro, which makes travelling around easy.

The breakfast was good with plenty of options to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall our stay was smooth and comfortable.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing. We had no complaints during our stay.
