Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score below par — The fitness centre and other facilities earned a lower 6.6 rating, so don't expect a state-of-the-art gym.
  • Comfort rating is moderate — Comfort scored 7.2, suggesting rooms may feel a bit dated or less plush than some four-star peers.
  • Windows may be dirty in some rooms — At least one guest reported grubby windows that hampered the view, so check your specific room.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, you'll need to look elsewhere – the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.

“The location was handy, an easy walk to Pondy Bazaar. The room was clean but the windows were grubby and blocked the view.”

“We spent four days in Chennai and enjoyed our stay – the hotel was clean and the location near The Residency in T Nagar was ideal. Cafe Central, a few minutes' walk away, was great for coffee and treats.”
