I've stayed here with my family multiple times. This time it was a last minute booking: booked a room, called to confirm the room would be ready, reached 15 mins after calling, and was immediately able to check-in to a clean and comfortable room. Excellent experience.

Offering a shared lounge and quiet street view, FriendlyStay at Madanandapuram is set in Chennai, 5.1 km from Chennai Trade Centre and 7.5 km from St. Thomas Mount.

The room was very comfortable and clean, with AC, tv, towels, soap. Kitchen was available and in the kitchen there was a water filter, thanks to which we didnt have to buy bottled water. And I really enjoyed spending evenings on the rooftop terrace. The owner is very helpful and caring, we didn’t have any problem with check-in and could contact him anytime. Also the area is very calm and safe, which was a big relief after spending previous days in triplicane district. I definitely would choose this stay again

    We stayed at Elite. Very good value for money and conveniently located near a Grace supermarket. We stayed here at the end of our trip, it was convenient to the airport and provided all the facilities we needed. Martin the caretaker and his family are friendly and helpful. The instructions on finding the homestay, including a video, are spot-on.

    The location is good. Communication to places from the Stay is good one. The location is neat and clean and the staffs are good. The hotel has proper connection as it seems to be in a posh area. As it is a Eco-Stay (Home Stay) and not having a Canteen, getting food/Tea is tough one as you have to move out to nearby market.

    Great hostel run by super friendly staff, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, the common area is perfect for chilling and socializing, and they serve homemade meals for a very good price. The location is good and it was easy to find with the staff's directions, lots of food options nearby, and it's right next to the Little Mount metro station. The only down side for me is that it was a bit pricey for my budget, but I really enjoyed my stay ;)
