    Car parking can get a bit cramped so be ready for some tight maneuvering. And make sure you budget some extra time for leaving/entering.

    Clean, well managed place with car parking, which is difficult to find in this part of Pondy. Room was comfortable, the AC worked well enough and would continue running when we left the room so it would always be cool. Bathroom was clean and water was always hot. No restaurant but we ordered on Swiggy. For breakfast, baker street is walkable.

    AC was not working properly and shower tap damaged and they did not repair after request. They collected money but while checkout time staff informed that money was not paid. It was disgusting statement from hotel side.

    Room is clean but daily cleaning not done

    They did not have their own restaurant so we either had to order online or go out for food which was a bit of inconvenience

    Rooms need proper exhausts, due to humid climate there is always a smell in the room, bedside tables are required on both sides, they need to provide napkins and hand towels, which were not available. Breakfast services would be good as well.

    Its a new property in the middle of MG road, from location perspective it was decent. It was clean, parking place for car. Staff was helpful especially Saravan, thanks to him for prompt assistance.

    We went around Christmas hence it was little expensive

    The location is very convenient with lot of parking space. Staff is very kind and helpful. You ask Mr. Saravanan and he will give you perfect guidance let it be restaurant, beaches, coffee. The restaurants he recommended gave us perfect flavour of South Indian food. He even helped us for transport from Chennai airport and back.

    Not suitable for foreigners and NRIs
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Room

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    This hotel is not suitable for foreigners and NRIs. On Booking.com, the conditions they offer are prepayment prior to arrival. I was ready to pay the full amount via Booking while making the reservation, but the payment was not processed. During checkin, it turned out that foreign credit cards were not accepted. The reception staff was horrible and needs to be replaced. He barely speaks English and could not comprehend that based on the conditions, a credit card payment was expected. Instead, he kept insisiting on an immediate cash payment. But who keeps so much cash in their pocket? There was absolutely no empathy on the receptionist's part. Such people have no place in client-facing roles and need to go. So, instead of relaxing following a long journey, I had to go searching for a money changer. Then, once I had the full amount on hand, the receptionist was refusing to provide a note receipt. It took a phone call to the owner to resolve the situation. At a time when you can use your credit card to pay for a coffee in a small Tamil town, there's absolutely no excuse for a new hotel not to accept credit cards. Dealing with reception staff and their incompetence left a very sour aftertaste after checking in and checking out.

    The building is relatively new, with a beautiful facade. However, the interior is alreay in need of renovation due to poor upkeep and humidity. The rooms are already in poor condition and are not cleaned properly. The bathrooms and toilets are filthy and you need to disinfect them yourself. Breakfast is not provided and you have to walk to Minakshi to take your morning tiffin. Overall, the rates charged are excessive for what you are actually getting.
