- c (1/5): - Nothing Such a worst experience receptionist behaviour was horrible and no lift n AC though booked AC room
- Vidya (5/5): - They asked for extra money than shown in the booking.com. Also all the things needed to be asked like towels, bedsheets, etc. Ac remote was not properly working. Overall not satisfied with the room.
- Sanjay (8/5): -
- Gopal Krishna (5/5): It was OK - Staff was good and cooperative. They charged extra for my child although I informed during booking.

- Rahul (3/5): Overall, the stay was disappointing. 1400 range good hotels available at the same area - Overall, the stay was disappointing. The bedsheets were badly torn and basic items weren’t provided. Amenities like AC and heater were controlled by the reception. Although the room was listed at 1200, we were made to pay 1400 to get it. The only positives were the good quantity breakfast and was tasty, and the convenient location near Chepauk Stadium. Considering the price range, there are many better hotel options available nearby. For every stay I’ve had before, staff were always ready to assist. Here, basic items like soap and blankets weren’t provided in the room. When we called reception, we were asked to come down and collect them ourselves, which meant going down two floors each time. Breakfast was delivered to the doorstep, but everything else had to be picked up from reception.
- Pranav (2/5): - The only Upside was the location (close to the beach,and cheaupak) Very disappointing stay. The room was extremely unclean and hygiene standards were poor overall. The floor was dirty, the bathroom door was broken, and there was no hot water. Basic amenities failed—the AC didn’t work and the fan was unreliable. Completely unacceptable experience.

- Sathish (8/5): Chepauk stadium, CSK match - For this budget, it's a steal.
If you're looking to watch a match in Chepauk and want to stay, go for it. Just 2mints walk to the stadium Very small room, but still okay for the budget

- alexis (1/5): Désagréablement inadmisible - Impossible de la savoir, étant donné que lorsque nous sommes arrivés, notre chambre avait été louée. Il faut comprendre le système indien : en effet, au delà des les gens qui annulent facilement, il est commun que les personnes ne se présentent pas tout simplement, et c’est ok, cela va de paire avec le fait qu’aucun paiement ne se fait via booking mais sur place, c’est un système comme un autre il faut juste le savoir. Ce qui se fait également c’est de contacter le client pour qu’il valide par message sa venue et qu’il indique son heure d’arrivée pour justement éviter que sa réservation ne soit annulée. Dans note cas c’est exactement ce qu’il s’est passé, nous avons échangé par whatsapp (commun aussi) en indiquant notre heure d’arrivé, cependant quand nous sommes arrivés à l’heure indiquée, la chambre n’était plus disponible. Nous avons donc contacté la personne avec laquelle nous avions échangé (car le réceptionniste ne parlais pas anglais, ce qui arrive également), et la personne nous a tout simplement envoyé chier de façon ultra expéditive et sur un ton très désagréable (comme si c’était de notre faute..) et nous a tout simplement raccroché au nez et plus répondu. On est donc parti galérer à trouver un hotel un samedi soir à 23h jour de saint Valentin (une aventure, on fait avec !) Mais franchement, on demande rien d’autre qu’un lit, on s’en fou des manières mais là c’est quand même pas ouf, attention donc ! /

- Balasubramanyam (8/5): - The stays locality and it's close proximity to railway station.
The room was comfortable and for the price it's a bargain for sure It would be better to have some directions put up on the main road.. as this hotel is a bit inside . And sometimes it becomes tricky to find it
- Amit (9/5): -
- friedrich (4/5): Die Unterkunft ist für Inder , welche zum Leben mindestens 80 db benötigen ,sowie für Schwerhörige d - Zuviel Laerm Das Badezimmer hat einen fensterlose Öffnung in einen Schacht . Dies ist in allen stock werken genauso. Zusätzlich ist auch im zimmer eine öffnung in den Schacht ,welche nur mit einer Plastikfolie bedeckt ist. Dies führt dazu ,daß lärm aus dem 3. und 4 Stockwerk praktisch ungefiltert übertragen wird man konnte im ersten Stock sogar Schnarchen aus dem 4. Stock deutlich hören. Was das bei der indischen Rücksichtslosigkeit bedeutet muß nicht extra erwähnt werden
- Shubham (5/5): - Hotel staff was asking for extra money. Light facility was interupting in bothroom

- Arindam (3/5): Stayed because I had to.. was there for only a day. Had I to stay longer then definitely would have - During booking was promised complementary breakfast but after booking and at the property was told that there was no such thing. The lift never worked during our stay... Had to carry our baggage up 2 floors. They asked me to pay extra at the reception, which later upon inspecting there invoice found out of some commission which they wanted to charge me. But I stuck to the booking amount and they yielded.
