FabHotel Metro Manor Central Station

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! Located just steps away from the metro station, getting around Chennai is super easy and convenient. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained—perfect for a relaxing break. Special thanks to Saleem and Mbhuri from the front desk; their friendly service and genuine care made a huge difference. They went above and beyond to assist with everything, making our stay stress-free and memorable. The staff throughout the hotel were polite, attentive, and always ready to help. It's clear they truly value guest satisfaction. If you're visiting Chennai, don’t miss this hidden gem—excellent value, great location, and warm hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!

FabHotel Nestlay Rooms - Nr Ambattur Railway Station

The location is convenient, just a short walk from the Ambattur Railway Station, and the room itself is clean enough. However, the building could use a fresh coat of paint—some areas are peeling, which makes it feel a bit worn down. The real issue was the staff’s attitude: extremely unhelpful. When I asked for toilet paper, they handed me table napkins instead! While some guests might not use toilet paper, it's still basic hygiene that should be provided. To make matters worse, they tried to charge me for water at check-out. I reminded them about the incident with the napkins and politely refused to pay. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Poor service, lack of attention to detail, and no sense of hospitality. Not worth the price, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

FabExpress Picnic Plaza Mylapore

My stay at FabExpress Picnic Plaza Mylapore was functional and straightforward. Located in the Mylapore neighborhood of Chennai, the hotel is conveniently close to local eateries and shops, with easy access to the metro for getting around the city. The room was compact but clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and reliable air conditioning that kicked in quickly—important during the hot weather. The bathroom was basic but fully functional, with consistent hot water. While it's not luxurious or packed with extras, the hotel delivers what it promises: a no-frills, affordable place to stay. It’s ideal if you're looking for a simple, safe, and budget-friendly option without the need for high-end amenities. I wouldn’t recommend it for travelers seeking premium comfort or extensive services, but for a quick visit to Chennai, it offers decent value for money. I’d consider staying here again on future trips.

Staying at this hotel with my family was an absolute delight. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from major attractions and easily accessible via public transit. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and come with all the essential amenities you’d expect. It’s great to see so many facilities available on-site, making it perfect for families. The staff and management went above and beyond with their warm, welcoming attitude—every interaction felt genuine and friendly. And the food at the restaurant? Delicious! We enjoyed a variety of tasty dishes that truly stood out. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers comfort, convenience, and a homey feel. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, family-friendly stay in Chennai.

Pine Tree Boutique Hotel

My stay at Pine Tree Boutique Hotel was absolutely excellent. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Apollo Hospital on Greams Road, making it incredibly convenient if you need medical care. It’s also just steps away from Anna Salai, the main thoroughfare, so exploring the city or grabbing a bite is effortless. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my visit, always ready to assist with any request. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and offered a cozy, welcoming atmosphere despite its compact size. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed. For travelers visiting Chennai for business, healthcare, or leisure, this is a top choice. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality.

NK Courtyard

My stay at NK Courtyard in Chennai was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, I was shocked to find that the room rate was different from what I had booked—additional ₹500 was charged right at the front desk with no prior notice. The hotel felt completely deserted; there were almost no guests or staff around, giving it a ghost-like atmosphere. The receptionist was extremely rude and unhelpful, making the entire check-in process unpleasant. The bed was uncomfortable, hard as stone, and the room itself felt outdated and poorly maintained. I ended up paying extra just to leave early in the evening. This experience was not worth the money or time. If you're looking for a decent, reliable stay in Chennai, avoid this property—it lacks basic hospitality and value for money.

Fabhotel the Brown Tree

I arrived at the hotel only to be denied entry—no one was available to assist, and I couldn’t get through on the phone. When I finally reached someone, they claimed there was no booking on record, which made zero sense since I had confirmation. The entire experience was frustrating and poorly managed. Customer service was extremely unprofessional, and it left me feeling completely stranded. If you’re considering staying here, make sure your reservation is confirmed well in advance and double-check with the property directly. This kind of mix-up should never happen.

Ktdc Rain Drops Hotel

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. The service was outstanding from start to finish; staff members were polite, attentive, and even checked in after our meal to make sure everything was perfect. 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.

Hanu Reddy Residences Poes Garden

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.

Hotel City Tower

We recently hosted an event at Hotel City Tower and couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The staff were incredibly professional from start to finish—welcoming, attentive, and efficient in handling all our needs. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, while the food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What stood out most was the hotel’s location, just a short walk from the railway station, making it super convenient for guests arriving by train or using public transit. It’s a perfect spot for business events, and we’ll definitely return for future gatherings. I’ve already recommended this hotel to several colleagues and friends—it’s truly a gem in Chennai.

FabHotel Udipi Home Egmore

The room was clean, well-kept, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. It truly felt like a second home during our stay. Located just steps away from our meeting venue, it offered unbeatable convenience. The complimentary breakfast was delicious—fresh, tasty, and satisfying. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the thoughtful touches, made our experience exceptional. We’d definitely choose Udipi Home again on future visits to Egmore. Without a doubt, this is our top pick for accommodation in the area.

Every single detail was perfect—from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from T Nagar, making it easy to explore shopping, dining, and local attractions. The room was clean, well-appointed, and had a calm, elegant vibe that made it feel like a true retreat. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and efficient service. No need to worry about anything—everything was thoughtfully taken care of. It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet central spot with this level of comfort and quality.
