Chennai Hotels

I enjoyed my stay at the Hablis very much. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, with a good amount of variation between South Indian, western and pub styles. Bottles of water are complimentary and the free wifi, while not the greatest, was much faster than the complimentary wifi of most hotels I've stayed in. I was somewhat disappointed by the limited selection of beers at the Moon and Sixpence, but the quality of the food there more than made up for it, simply amazing. As well, it would have been nice to have some cutlery / stir sticks in my room. They offer free tea bags, instant coffee, and a complete kettle setup, along with cream and sugar, in each room, but curiously, they provide nothing to stir the coffee / tea with. The Hablis offers a tour service in which you can hire a driver for several hours a day, to visit the city or the neighbouring areas of Chennai. I hired a driver for 4 hours. I have to say, he was an absolute surgeon behind the wheel, though he didn't know half the places I wanted to visit and kept trying to drop me off at various trinket shops / arts emporiums I had no interest in seeing. Apparently this is quite common in Chennai; the drivers get kickbacks from the shop owners. It's a shame the health club / gym wasn't complete when I visited. It's a work in progress.

Excellent hotel, could not be more accommodating. They organised one of the hotel drivers to take me on a half day tour of the city at a very reasonable price. He was excellent, spoke good English and accompanied me when necessary. I would definitely stay again if in Chennai and would recommend it highly.

Very friendly and courteous staff. Varieties of food available during breakfast and dinner buffet. Clean rooms and good room service. Sauna was out of order. Steam room need attention to sort out the walls and the roof. Small but clean pool fit for the purpose. Foyer and lobby can be very crowded and noisy in the evenings whenever there is a wedding reception or other functions. Over all our stay was memorable, pleasant and enjoyable. No hesitation in recommending to friends and relatives.

The room was clean but without windows and dark. Desk staff (particularly one person) was unhelpful and rude. I wouldn't stay here again.

The hotel was very comfortable and the staff members were very friendly Its location was at the heart of Chennai and it allowed me to visit various locations with ease. The free buffet breakfast was excellent and I still miss it :) The room maintenance was also excellent and I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chennai

This is our third stay in over 10 years. Very clean and comfortable room with good amenities. Polite staff. However, music from the entertainment area can be loud at night if the room is on the lower floors.

Staff were polite. Facilities were good. Breakfast buffet was better compared to other 5 star hotels.

Very convenient location, in middle of city and easy approach to every office

Quick and free pickup and drop to the Airport. Hotel staff are friendly!
