I was little late for my arrival due to delay in flight. When i had called up the hotel. The staff were so polite to take the message and confirmed. Upon my arrival all docs were ready and just need to sign.
Room was nice and comfortable. Only issue the view area from window was to the aircon unit. No view to anything else

I expect some extended hours of free stay and change the time at least upto 2 pm since the job I have come may go few hours extra and then to return to Airport. So many hotels nearby are offering this and to prefer this Hotel for my future stay.

As everyone says, it is an older hotel, which has its plusses and minuses. They have nice art around the hotel and in the rooms. Lots of real wood items unlike in newer hotels. On the other hand, the maintenance needs much improvement. More cleaning is needed of some of the art items which are showing signs of mold. The management and staff are not at the level of top hotels. Looks like they havent really had any hospitality training. This one guy managing the reception desk was abrasive and had no place being in that position. Breakfast was good. If they put some money into refurbishment and improved cleaning, this could be a top hotel once again.

Staff extremely hospitable and courteous. Complimentary morning breakfast was pleasing. WiFi was choppy and not reliable. Out of 12 day stay, internet was out for a full day, and quite disappointing and inconvenient.

The front lobby ambience was good. Other than that things are out dated and not as per the standards of a 4 star hotel.
Restaurant facilities need to enhanced further.
Room ambience is quite old fashioned and needs a ton of improvement.
Mosquitoes issue in rooms.

Stay was excellent. Staff are very well trained and professional. Food was scrumptious at the restaurant. Breakfast was good and the rooms are huge. It is a heritage hotel but worth the stay. Will recommend to others.

A famous hotel from yesteryears and that is why we booked and paid premium rate. The hotel is badly in need of repair and redesign. The bathroom is old and few accessories didn’t work (I will spare details). However the staff was friendly and breakfast was good. The management should do major renovation, redesign rooms and restore its old glory. Until then charging such high rates is not justified.

I have stayed here a couple of times now. I really like the place and will return. But there are a couple of caveats new visitors should consider.
The pro:
great value if you get a good price (varies by date). The staff is very friendly, helpful and efficeint. The public areas are something of faded elegance with a luxury ambience unexpected at mid range hotel prices in Chennai. The location is convenient for central chennai and quiet as its set well back from a road which is well traveled, but not a major throughfare. This is a big plus in Chennai. My recent visit I was upgraded to a “heritage” room which is very large and comfortable; But even the normal rooms in the other wing are quite ok. The breakfast buffet is exceptional and the restaurant ambience nice.
the cons;
the most serious con is the air conditioning. It probably needs a complete rebuild. The heritage room it worked ok but another room a bit too weak for comfort. The other downside is that which is also part of the charm. It is a distinctly faded elegance. There is a certain shoddiness in places like the elevator interior. At the price of a mid range hotel in India this is quite ok and somewhat the norm. But if you paid 4 star prices you might be disappointed.

The hospitality from a people point of view is good. However, it is an old property and that is evident in the rooms and the facilities there in. The smell in the rooms, though not bad, gives away the age of the building. Given that there are other options in the vicinity, the hotel needs to review their value for money model. It could potentially be a 3-star option in my opinion.
