Guest Reviews
- Mani (8/5): - Pretty good for the price. But the room is too small for 2 of us.
- Dharmaratnam (4/5): - No entertainment no tv channel working. No toilet Roll available. Breakfast always same food.
- Dr Ankit (8/5): - The staff was very prompt and helpful. Food was excellent. A total value for money
- GURPAL (8/5): - Breakfast needs improvement
- Rames (10/5): - Convenient for shopping nice and clean place good restaurant
- unnikrishnan (8/5): - Location is in the middle of a heavily crowded place. Rosd transport is tough due to heavy traffic
Hotel as such is excellent and nice staff. Clean and neat rooms with all items
- Gayathri (10/5): Highly Reccomend - We had a great stay. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, always with a smile on their faces. The reception staff gave useful advice and tips, about taxi prices, shops, restaurants, etc. They answered our many requests, including printing and weighing scale. They always ensured we were happy with everything, from the cleanliness of our rooms to the breakfast. We have never experienced such brilliant service at a hotel before. The breakfast was good and the rooms were clean. The location was perfect for us because it was super close to loads of amazing shops. We highly recommend this hotel.
- Shameer (10/5): - Very nice experience with the hotel, I will defenitely choose them next time.
Pros: 1) very good and friendly staff; what else you need if the staffs are there to help you with anything. I travelled with my family including 6 month old baby, they literally fulfilled all our needs.
2) A nice rtestuarant; neat and clean, and delicious south indian food. They offered free breakfast everyday, lunch and dinner at very reasonable price.
3)Good location; its at the centre of the city; eventhough its crowded, you will not feel that bad inside the hotel, it is calm and cool inside. AC works great, both hot and cool water.
CONS
1) Bathroom is not that new with little bit of stain, but it was clean. I think the stain is because of the hard water. I would say it is worth the money. you will not feel very bad.
- Verified traveler (2/5): 1 star hotel based on foreign standard - I stayed at this hotel. Condition of the inside of the hotel is very bad. Photos doesn't showcase the condition of the inside.
Positive feedback
Friendly staff
Good service
Negative feedback
Mosquito: you can see dead mosquito on the windows. Pretty discusting.
Broken, old and smelly washroom
Inside of the building has old carpets and ripped. Building smells like dust.
Dark inside the hallway.
All these negative are not posted in the pictures. I have attached them below to see.
- Vasuki (6/5): - Closer to the TNagar shopping and good customer service
- Vicknesh (10/5): Wonderful Hotel with very bad restaurant service - It was a fantastic trip. The service and the cleanliness were just outstanding. The hotel is near to famous shopping places in T-Nagar and its very convenient.
However the their restaurant were very bad. The service of their restaurant are very bad and the staff were very rude as well. In addition the food tastes very bad and I wont suggest to take thier breakfast. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby and I would suggest to try them instead.
- Anand (6/5): Nice hotel close to everything - Good experience. But no toilet tissues, internet not working on and off. Otherwise everything is fine.
- Krishmar (10/5): - Very convenient place. Very clean friendly staff good value for money

- Verified traveler (8/5): Good - Good
- Salashanmugam (10/5): Pretty Good - The stay was fantastic with helpful staff members and very comfort stay at chennai...
- elizabeth (10/5): Nice hotel - Nice hotel ,friendly staff central location.nice breakfast.Good Wifi.
- Grahame (8/5): Reservation Staff were extremely helpful ! - The hotel is located fairly centrally with a short drive to anywhere. ( Approx 200 INR to the airport and a similar amount to George Town.) The staff will arrange taxis and explain to driver where he is to take you in Tamil (as most we encountered only spoke Tamil ) Alternatively you can tour around for 4 hours for about 800 INR.
- thivya (8/5): very good location for shopping - hotel staffs and the managers are very helpfull, restaurant attached to the hotel is very convenient
- gayathri (8/5): Convenient - It was value for money hotel.
- Somesh (6/5): Will rethink on staying here. - Been to Chennai before and stayed in other hotels. So my review is as under- Rooms are clean but the ac and in-room mini fridge was not working efficiently. Single x 2 Cots have 10" mattresses which make sleeping difficult as beds give a sense of instability.
- Pravi (8/5): Remember, it's a 3 star hotel - Everything seemed good. Hotel staffs were helpful.
I didn't get the TV working from second day onwards. It seemed they didn't pay the subscription fee.
The breakfast is good. Bathrooms were not exceptional, but fairly maintened. Rooms were a bit small.
Overall, a good hotel to stay.
- Thomas (10/5): a friendly place close to the chaos of the street - very friendly and helpful staff
- Brij (10/5): - One night only was good and comfortable no complaints here
- Walls (8/5): Nice Hotel/ - I stayed about 7 days. The room was nice and clean. Close to Mambalam Train Satation which train goes to Chennai Central and Chennai Beach ( Take 20 minutes to Chennai Central Station which is the station has long trip train such as Tirupati, Mumbai, Madurai, Hydrabath, Koyambutur, etc.. ). If you request for room clean service, Then, It will extra charges. The Taxi charges less than the Hotel Vehicle ( Better use Taxi instead of Hotel Vehicle to go to the Airport ).
uAll Staffs were very helpful and friendly. 24 hours room service. The food was excellent for me at the Taz Kamar. In the morning was buffet system.
- Suzanne (6/5): Recommend - Although the hotel was nice, clean and safe as well as a good location for shopping, the first night we were there we had to use our misquito net. Someone must have left the windows open at some point and the room was infested. The 2nd and 3rd nights were fine. Food at the restaurant was good however they do not cater for international guests when it came to breakfast. With that being said I would still recommend.
- Marcus (6/5): Incredibly helpful staff - Experience was less than the high rating it receives. Staff helpfulness makes up for so much they were exceptional in their eagerness to help with anything they could.
- Canada Cyn (10/5): Helpful, friendly Staff with Good Location - We enjoyed staying at this Hotel so much, we extended our stay by a week. Staff were consistently helpful and competent. Many families were "repeat" consumers.
- els76uk (10/5): Pleasant hotel in a bustling area - When we arrived, we were disappointed that the hotel seemed to be in a quiet area, away from anywhere interesting. But forget that - the area comes alive in the evening, and you'll be pleased that it's in fact in a great location just off the main shopping and market streets. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. There's a bank opposite, street food stands 2 mins walk away, and bus station 5 mins walk away. My only complaint is that the wifi was next to useless (I ended up just using my phone's LTE/4G), and the shower water was never more than lukewarm.
- Erik (10/5): - We did appreciate their 24 h check-out rule. Check-out is at the next at the same time as you checked-in. If you need anything more just talk to the very helpful staff and they will find an arrangement. Hotel is very close to a metro station which gets you directly to the airport or Chennai central. We felt save and comfortable at this hotel.
If we have another stay over in Chennai we will book this hotel again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The Hotel staff was excellent and treated us extremely well, however the room we got had a bad smell coming out of the bathroom (Room 302) throughout our stay.
- lcf (8/5): Nice hotel close to town centre - The staff helpful, bed comfortable, breakfast good, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant which was good and clean environment
- Smiley (6/5): Handy for shopping. - It was a nice enough place to stay. Was clean. Breakfast wasn't our cup of tea so we bought our own fruit. Very close to market shopping which was an experience in itself (a very busy place). Not much English for assistance with tours or information though polite. Suited us for 2 nights (had pre booked), then we found a cheaper place closer to the beach.
- sandeep (8/5): stay at TAZ KAMAR - Hotel location is near market.it's convient to go anywhere.Rooms are clean & staff is very cooprative.Rates are also very reasonable
- Pramod Kumar (8/5): Best for transit, closer to airport - Liked the way transport was arranged at a very short notice. Excellent reception and billing.
- sandeep (8/5): nice hotel near market place - hotel is good.rates of room and food were reasonable.airport pick & drop service of hotel from airport is very costly(rs.1100).private taxies are easily available and they may drop in less than 300 rs.market is walking distance from.hotel.overall hotel is excellent for a reasonable stay.
- R.Kumaran (8/5): Nice & clean. - Above expectation. Value for money. Clean rooms & fast in service. Breakfast was excellent. Very near to shopping centers. My next visit will stay here.
- shashen (6/5): Not so good location, in business area - Front office staff was not helpful,could not arrange a hire car,did not speak proper English or Hindi
- Paula (10/5): Lovely hotel, great value for money - We stayed in a suite as part of our honeymoon trip to India and can't fault the cleanliness of the hotel or the friendliness of the staff.
- Vijayaharan (10/5): Great Location 5* Hospitality - Close to all shopping aminities, Good Breakfast menu, Friendly staff
- Laura J (10/5): T Nagar Boutique Hotel Gem! Service & Comfort 5* - I stayed three nights at the Taz Kumar Inn and found the room to be very comfortable and quiet. The beds and pillows were soft and comfy, the air conditioning worked well once we understood how to operate the remote control. The breakfasts were adequate but only Indian veg choices. Some bananas and yogurt would have been welcome additions. The service was exceptional and the location was excellent. Taz Kumar is very near the rail line and the best shopping in Chennai. Taz Kumar is an excellent choice if you want to be in T Nagar.
- Jayesh (8/5): Nice Hotel closer to US consulate - I visited Chennai on 26-27 Jan 2015 for my L1 visa interview with my family. I had booked this hotel based on previous reviews and I was not disappointed.
It is as nice peaceful hotel with excellent staff who are very cordial and helpful. Rooms are decent without being lavish or anything extravagant. There is a restaurant attached to hotel which was good enough to provide us Mumbai like food at a very reasonable price.
Staff was very helpful in guiding me through US consulate and arranging for transport. US consulate is 15-20 minutes ride. The main market is at a walking distance full of Silk sari & Gold shops.Airport is about 40 minutes ride. Marina beach is about 45 minutes ride.
I also got my Visas approved so overall a very good experience.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok to stay for shopping in the neighbourhood. - Stay was nice and comfortable..walking distance to most of want we wanted to do. Only disappointment was the WiFi connectivity. Wifi is non existence. We manged to connect once for few minutes and then it died. Considering the noisy neighborhood, surprisingly quiet at night.
- Candice (10/5): Nice spot in busy Chennai. - Stayed 2 nights in Chennai at the Taz Chennai. Hotel was nice with friendly staff. For INR 1000. I was able to have the hotel driver and car for 4+ hours. He took me to 3 beaches on the Bay of Bengal and two temples. Car was clean and ran well. The hotel is right around the corner from a super street market with very nice stores also along the stretch of road. Minor cons: The bathroom is down a 1" step and then between the sink and toilet is another 1" drop. I stumbled over this second one almost every time I went in the rest room. You would think I would learn but the flooring makes it very easy to miss the visual cues. Water in the shower only got to about 75 degrees...not even luke warm. One the morning of my departure, I asked at 7AM that I be notified when the driver arrived (due at 9AM). I was told he was already there and then the statement was retracted. In fact he had arrived and been waiting since 6:30 AM and no one notified me. Pros- restaurant had nice breakfast offerings. For being in the middle of chaos, the room (105) was pretty quiet. The sink had a large crack but water remained in the sink. I wouldn't was clothes in it though... Overall, pretty nice and comfy and friendly. The rest is just chatter.
- chandana (8/5): “excellent hotel - It was good, nice location near shopping district T Nagar. shopping as it is walking distance to all the shops. walk able to diverse shopping options, restaurants and amenities (banks, markets, etc) Restaurant food was good but they can improve the quality of food. breakfast buffet was average, but should have variety rather than having the same menu everyday. The service you get at this hotel is excellent and the staff really go out of their way to make you feel welcome! Staff was very helpful. Room had all amenities . They helped us with everything we needed; and always with a smile. My family and I really enjoyed our one week stay at this hotel! Special thanks to General Manager, Mr.Sitaraman Santu,Theodore Selwyn and Ganesh
