    helpful staff
    clean room
    attentive service
    cramped restaurant
    poor communication

    The staff at Madras Grand impressed me with their helpfulness, promptly arranging taxis whenever I needed one. My room was clean and air-conditioned, although a bit smaller than I expected. I enjoyed the Indian cuisine in the restaurant, and service from the kitchen staff was consistently attentive. However, the restaurant itself felt cramped, with only a few tables which made waiting for a seat a hassle at times. A significant downside was the confusing communication regarding check-in and additional information required ahead of time. The shower lacked proper design, making it feel cramped and low water pressure was an issue in the bathroom. Overall, the positives of the stay outweighed the negatives, but improvements in communication and bathroom design would greatly enhance the experience.

    A hidden gem with cozy charm

    The staff here are truly amazing, always ready with a smile and eager to help. Our room was clean and had a lovely design, making our stay quite pleasant.

    However, the restaurant was often crowded with limited seating, leading to long waits for a table. Also, check-in procedures were confusing, requiring upfront payment for the entire stay.

    limited drinking water
    unclean dining

    I was disappointed by the confusion over complimentary drinking water. When I asked at the front desk, the staff gave varying information about how many bottles were included. Additionally, during breakfast, I noticed a hair in my milk, which made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen.

    Great amenities and fabulous breakfast! The restaurant's service was excellent, but the fridge in my room didn’t work like the photos showed. I'd stay here again!

    limited restaurant options

    Great location and cozy vibes!

    Loved the comfy vibes here! The highlight was the staff – so helpful and friendly. I hit up the in-room breakfast, which was nice to have. Just wish the restaurant had more options since it was pretty small. Still, super easy to explore the area. Definitely a solid choice for family trips!

    convenient location
    accommodating staff
    tasty breakfast
    bathroom design

    The location near the local railway station makes it super convenient for day trips! The breakfast was tasty and staff were really accommodating – even catering to special dietary needs.

    The shower setup could use some better design for a more spacious feel in the bathroom.

    problematic shower

    My stay was quite enjoyable, exceeding expectations during my trip to chennai. The staff were super helpful, and the room was clean and modern. Breakfast was good, especially the chutneys and filter coffee!

    the shower setup caused flooding issues.
