7.0/10

I had high expectations due to the hotel's great location right across from the station, but it fell short in several areas. The rooms were unhygienic and poorly maintained, making my stay uncomfortable. While I appreciated the convenient access to public transport, the lack of proper amenities and decent service made the experience quite frustrating. Overall, this hotel might only be suitable for a one-night stopover rather than an enjoyable stay.

I had a very basic experience at this hotel; it served its purpose for a one-night stopover rather well. The location was decent, right across from the Egmore metro, which made getting to the airport easy. However, the hotel itself felt quite run down, with limited hot water in the rooms, and I wouldn't recommend it for extended stays or families.

I found the hotel to be better than expected, but it was very basic overall. The location is great, right next to Egmore Station, making it easy to catch public transportation. However, I faced some issues like the lack of towels and toilet paper, and the room could definitely use some more amenities. It was clean, but I was a bit uncomfortable without proper bedding.

Rooms
