The compound has a nice garden. The desk staff is not very helpful. All in all, I think the facility is a bit overpriced.

A Pleasent Homely stay

This is a quiet place , nice and green and silent, tucked away in the heart of the city right opposite Egmore metro station that helps you connect with any part of chennai easily. The infrastructure is very good, staff are very courteous and hygiene is well maintained . Dinner is usually simple vegetarian fare.

Guest house staff’s are very good and helpful. But the property is quite old and the bed covers, towels in the property are old as well. They are not dirty but not white in color. Also there is no restaurant or street food close to this property. For lunch and dinner, you have to book the meal few hours before. Overall location is good, staffs are helpful and polite.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I liked my stay at the guest house very much. It is an old building, don’t expect new interiors and that it is super clean. It was bright, comfortable and spacious; I was also able to work at the desk (I booked the Deluxe Double Room, Garden View). I am a solo female traveller and felt very safe. The best thing is the food! Especially, in the evening it tastes like home cooked meals. Also the entry has comfortable chairs to relax and the greenery around is nice. You can walk to the metro station Egmore (just have to cross the street which is a tiny bit challenging.)
