What guests said

icon

The property is praised for its location, being close to Marina Beach and great restaurants, making it convenient for guests. However, some reviews mention the surrounding area is unkempt, resembling a slum, which could deter potential visitors. While several guests appreciate the accessibility to local shops and public transport, there are consistent mentions of issues with cleanliness and maintenance nearby.

Reviews Summary

Powered by Myra.AI

The property is budget-friendly and located close to the Chennai Airport, making it a convenient choice. Guests have noted the proximity to public transport, including the metro and bus services. While some reported decent service and clean rooms, complaints about poor maintenance, inadequate facilities, and rude staff were prevalent. Issues like dysfunctional ACs, extra charges, and cleanliness were highlighted. Some guests found the atmosphere unwelcoming, particularly for families and couples.

Hotel management is asking for more money and demanding to stay in whatever room they are providing which is not the customer choice. My opinion is not to choose this hotel, I will never go to this hotel again.

Worst experience. Not recommended

abhinav l.group

Worst service. Booked a standard ac room and ac wasn't even working. Complained to the staff 5-6 times and they still didn't fix the problem. Instead they demanded more money and shifted us to a deluxe ac room. Otherwise they weren't doing anything. The deluxe room can't even be called deluxe. No flush in the washroom. No wash basin. No shower. No soap. Even the bedroom itself was cramped. And water quality also not good.

Never book this lodge

kalyan s.group

When we went for check in, they told us as there was flood in this hotel, they will give us rooms in another property. When we get there, named as t haj guest house, it was very low quality hotel and rooms were very small. No bedsheets, no proper beds, size of room was just 60-70 square feet. No proper toilets. No water in toilets, nothing. Most important, when one of us went to the booked hotel, there was bo flood issue but they allotted the rooms to other people. At the time of check out, they asked for more amount apart them we have paid!
