Excellent hotel and excellent staff. I was allowed to check in early and the staff made me feel welcome. The service was top-notch. Dated to all the request I had. My only concern or giving four stars is that the bathroom was not up to the mark. It was very dated. Looked very very old with spots on the big mirror. There were fewer amenities available than the other Taj Hotels I have stayed in. The bathtub had faded. The lining around the bathtub was not good as as somebody had tried to patch up things. The shower was not up to the mark. Rest everything was great Full marks to the staff and to the cleanliness.

This is my 3rd time I stayed in this hotel with my family and my experience was amazing. We were treated like we belong to a royal family. For every entry and exit from the hotel, a porter will always be there to open the door for you. I stayed for 5 days and either Saravanan or Saravanan B opened the door for me and helped me loading and unloading the luggage from the taxi. We were greeted by their front desk as if we belong to a royal family. Rosa welcomed us by making us wear a spiritual garland and served a honey-lemon drink, was delicious. We were escorted to our room and our luggage was already sent in our room. They have a restaurant on the ground floor named Veranda. We had both breakfast and dinner in Veranda. Food was delicious and there were quite a few options from Indian traditional food to Western. A Prabhakaran is the magic chef and I admire his modesty and hospitality. They offer buffet in breakfast and if you had the breakfast you won't even need lunch. I am short in words for the hospitality I received from customer relationship managers S Lokanath, Rishab, and Anjali. They were with us until we were done with our breakfast or dinner asking us if we need anything. Since my family was unable to make it in-person, S Lokanath and Rishab arranged in-room dinning and sent the food as per my wife and kids liking. If I ever again visit Chennai, I will definitely stay in this hotel.
