Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this property. Mr. Mathayyan is a very kind and helpful host. The place is clean, tidy, peaceful, and feels like a home away from home.

All the necessary facilities are available, and the complimentary breakfast was good. Although the property is a little old in style, it is very well maintained, spotless, and comfortable. The quiet atmosphere made the stay even more enjoyable.

The staff are friendly, courteous, and always ready to help. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Chennai.

Next time I will definitely visit this place .

Cons:

Nothing much, little bit painting maintenance needs to be done that's it

ok per lo standard indiano, ma da migliorare
Pros:

posizione strategica ma allo stesso tempo tranquilla rispetto al caos degli altri quartieri, c’è un bar accanto dove mangiare e trovi facilmente mezzi da lì per spostarti in città

Cons:

pulizia, abbiamo dovuto far ripulire la camera da capo dopo il nostro arrivo. non è stata fatto nessun altro turno di pulizia delle camere durante il nostro soggiorno (4 giorni)

room size is small, yet, rest of good things made the size issue negligible - for couples
Pros:

Breakfast was like Home prepared food. It was tasty and good. Because we had to leave for our other visits very early, we felt bad in missing this good homely b/f couple of days.

Cons:

room size/ bathroom tap in the sink is facing the bathroom door so, the force of water throws it to the door - which is not good.
