Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast variety could be better — While the breakfast spread is generally praised, at least one guest wished for more variety in the options.

7.1Verified guest“I had a wonderful stay here. The staff were incredibly helpful, always going out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. The housekeeping team, led by Mr. Paneer and Mr. Bhupathi, and the maintenance team, including Mr. RaghuChandar, were all brilliant. The rooms were cosy and spotless, and the hotel was well-maintained. Being right in the middle of the IT parks meant I could easily reach different parts of the city. Breakfast was great too, satisfying my taste buds. With attention to detail, fair prices, and a committed team, this hotel easily exceeded my expectations.”
7.1Verified guest“I stayed at a hotel in a lively area, surrounded by IT parks and easy to reach from anywhere in the city. The rooms were cosy and kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, making for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was impressive, with caring and quick staff who went above and beyond. Basic amenities were all there, so everything ran smoothly. The breakfast spread was tasty, though a bit more variety would have been nice. Still, it was great value for money, and I'd definitely consider coming back.”
