Located in close proximity to Apollo Hospital, on Wallace Garden Street in a quiet residential area is Hanu Reddy Residences.

There are a number of Hanu Reddy Residences in Chennai. My husband and I stayed at the one in Wallace Gardens for 4 nights in late February. We reserved our room for the night before our very early morning arrival. We let the hotel know our flight information and the time that we expected to arrive, and they made sure someone was on duty to check us in. (Press the bell next to the front door.) Our room (#5) was a large, comfortable, if a little tatty, front-facing room with a ceiling fan and a/c. The bed had a good, firm mattress. Good water pressure in the shower, however the bathroom was scruffy. Daily cleaning, with fresh towels, toilet paper, toiletries, and a large bottle of water. The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was included in our reservation: A small buffet as well as freshly cooked eggs, dosas, poori, and so on. We had dinner at the hotel one night, and it was tasty and filling. The hotel has a large rooftop that could be developed into a pleasant space for guests.

    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 ;)
