The staff were incredibly helpful, assisting us with carrying our bags to the room and offering great support throughout our stay. That said, a few amenities we expected weren’t available, which was disappointing. We managed to get by, but ultimately decided to check out the very next day—despite originally planning to stay longer. The hotel itself is decent and well-maintained, but missing some key features we had hoped for. It’s a solid option if you’re looking for a no-frills stay, just be aware of what’s not included.

My stay at Treebo Eco Stay Nandanam in Chennai was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm and friendly service. The location is perfect—just a short walk from local attractions and public transit, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The room was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, especially the bed—it’s one of the best sleeps I’ve had on my travels. I really enjoyed the breakfast spread: fresh, flavorful, and full of local touches like spicy samosas and steaming dosas.

The hotel's location was excellent—easy to find and just a short ride from the airport. The taxi driver knew the landmark mentioned in the address right away, which made getting there stress-free. Our family stayed here, and we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the essentials we needed. It’s clear the team takes pride in their service and attention to detail. For families looking for a convenient, welcoming place to stay in Chennai, this is a top choice. We’d definitely come back and recommend it without hesitation.
The stay was extremely disappointing. The air conditioning in both rooms we were assigned—room 204 and later room 406—was completely non-functional, making the rooms uncomfortably hot throughout our visit. What made it worse was the lack of ceiling fans in any of the rooms to help with airflow, which would’ve at least provided some relief. We reported the issue immediately upon arrival and were moved to a different room, but the problem persisted. There was no effort from staff to address or even acknowledge the ongoing discomfort. Poor maintenance and lack of basic amenities like fans make this a very hard recommendation. If you're looking for a comfortable place to rest, especially in a hot climate like Chennai, this property falls far short.
Staying at Ktdc Rain Drops Hotel was an absolute delight! The food at the restaurant truly stood out—especially the Onam Sadhya, which offered an incredible variety of traditional dishes that were both flavorful and authentic.

That little extra touch made the whole experience feel personal and warm. The hotel’s location is also convenient for exploring nearby attractions, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d return to without hesitation.
This place feels incredibly welcoming—like coming home. The staff go above and beyond with their warm, friendly service and are always ready to help with anything you need. It's conveniently close to major shopping areas, yet tucked away in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for relaxing after a busy day. I’ve stayed here twice now, and every detail makes me want to return. Truly a gem in Chennai—highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, charm, and a little bit of serenity.
