Liked: Cleanliness
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.

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.

Good location, nice breakfast. I have stayed at this hotel many times and stayed for 6 nights on this visit. This time the experience left a lot to be desired. The cupboard drawer was broken, hair dryer did not work. safe deposit locker was not ready for use and needed a reset by house keeping before it could be used. Some of the electrical sockets by the bedside did not work. On the last day the house keeping forgot to keep glasses (tumblers) and failed to bring these despite 2 phone calls. This time I felt that the hotel was no longer paying attention to small details that makes a big difference for room guests. I will probably stay at another hotel on my next visit to Chennai.

Badly in need of repairs and renovation
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.
