    Exceptional accommodation, the breakfast was great, comfy location in the restaurants special mention. My room was nice cozy and well-appointed, had smoke detectors for safety measures. And it also had magnificent view and the staff were responsive and brilliantly helpful people who attend to your each and every need and request. Location: the hotel was near Verandah cafe and the Taj Connemara. Also, Spencer's Plaza Shopping Mall was located in the venue's area.

    We had a great time at this place - it fulfilled all our needs perfectly and the location, especially at the Veranda restaurant, couldn't have been better, with the added convenience of being near the restaurant and Veranda cafe.

    The service at Distil was outstanding. Staff are very attentive.

    The food was good - not brilliant. We wanted a quiet day at the hotel so ate there - there are much better choices in the city for much better value - and not far away.

    The room was brand-new with a nice bed, and the location was peaceful, close to Raja Muthiah Hall, giving a good overall experience.

    From the time I arrived to the time I departed I was treated like an absolute King. The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make me comfortable. The check-in was immediate with a delectable welcome Lichi drink. After that I was escorted to my room which was big by any standard. And the response to room service was almost instantaneous. Concierge was extremely helpful when I asked some directions to a nearby place. Overall, I would rate this as, perhaps, the best hotel in India. Kudos to it - I am a fan for life!!

    The area and cleanliness is good

    The taxation policy is not transparent. It has lot of ambiguities.

    Very friendly, helpful staff - a quiet room - no noise from other guests.

    The room was FREEZING- the a/c was not working properly. I asked for help as I could not get warm and the bedding felt cold and damp. In the end I had to turn off the whole unit. The meal I ordered at 9:30 pm was cold when it arrived - rather disappointing too.I found that I did not get value for money for the price I paid for the room and meals. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and I was really looking forward to staying here - but it was disappointing.

    The location is great, being close to the center and shopping area, and we loved having drinks at Blend nearby in the evenings.

    This is a very nice hotel and if you like that colonial vibe then this is the place for you.

    Wifi is not free - I fully believe that you are losing business as a result of this archaic policy.
