Stayed here for a few hours. Main advantage is its closenss and proximity to Chennai Central Railway station, The Park railway station and Metro Station. All within easy walkable distance. The hotel is built just by the side the main road adjacent to Chennai Corporation. So overall location is fantastic.

About the hotel, it seems that once upon a time it was quite good but now its just going relying upon its locational advantage.

The reception counter is very basic. There is a lift which works OK.

The rooms, smallish in size, were more or less clean and linens provided appeared fresh. However, the room badly needs maintenance and painting. There was a TV in the room but we never put it on. The Cupboards etc in the room are good but no hangers inside. The AC ran uninterrupted though. Tariff for the AC room was RS.1500.00, OK, considering the location. The toilet was so so. Everything worked except the centrally maintained hot water system. No toiletries were provided.

Overall, its a hotel for very short stays by...
