7Verified guest“The location is excellent — close to shopping and the rooftop bar has great views. Rates are fair for a 3-star hotel, and the check-in staff were polite and helpful.”
7Verified guest“The lobby cafe serves good meals. The hotel is very close to Egmore train station and Koyambedu district is worth exploring. Chennai Turtle Walk is also easy to reach from here.”
7Verified guest“We stayed for a romantic escape and were happy with it. The room was a decent size with a comfortable bed, though the furniture was a bit dated. The top-floor bar was a highlight, with great drinks and beautiful city views. Wi-Fi was strong and kept us connected. The prime location puts a large shopping centre and good restaurants within a 20-minute walk.”
