Locally known as the Udipi Home hotel left me a memorable experience during my stay in Chennai.
Location:
The hotel is located in Egmore area of Chennai, 5 minutes of walk from the Egmore railway station or the Egmore Metro Station. The Apollo Hospital is just 5 minutes drive away. The Marina Beach is around 10 minutes drive away. The area has many food joints and shops for basic utilities. If you need to access other areas of Chennai, just walk to the Egmore Metro station.
Rooms:
The hotel has an OYO tag. I booked it on Goibibo, my preferred app, and I got a double room for ₹1000 a night. The rooms are neat and tidy, baring a little dust here and there on the furniture, which is acceptable. Lighting and air conditioning are perfectly engineered. The toilet and bathroom is also well placed and clean. Since the hotel is just beside a busy traffic signal, you might get disturbed by honking vehicles at night if you get a room beside the road. That is fine.
Service:
The hotel staff are friendly and prompt in serving you with the facilities. Ask them nicely and they shall entertain your requests and queries diligently. They have a travel desk near the reception in case you need to book train or flight tickets or take cabs to visit places within the city.
My stay at the Udipi Home hotel was comfortable and satisfying. OYO has lived up to its billing again.
Bottom line: Budget hotel with great rooms, good connectivoty and...

As soon as I reached my home and unpacked, it striked my mind that I left those items in the hotel room. I immediately called the reception and requested to courier my belongings. I also agreed to pay courier charges and any extra amount you want. They asked to call back in 10 minutes. When I called again after 31 minutes they said that nothing is there. I told them the exact position where I left those items. They asked to call me again after 5 minutes. I called again after 26 minutes again they repeated the same that nothing is there. I used to tell everyone that people of Tamil Nadu are the most honest people I've ever come across. I always used to advocate them for their honesty. But it's not the...

Friendly and helpful staffs. The old man at the reception looks like he owns the place by his good behaviour and helpfulness.
