Top Chennai Hotel Reviews

Novotel Chennai Chamiers Road Hotel

Novotel Chennai Chamiers Road Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The place is very elegant, professional and clean. Rooms and bathrooms are wide and very nice. I did not try the food, but the amenities I saw were great and the staff was very kind and helpful. I think the place is a good option people who want to stay at a good place while paying a decent rate (not so costly as other options with comparable features). Another forte is the close distance to Chennai International Airpot. Overall, recommended."
