The hotel at the first sight takes you back to 1960's or 70's, nice large location, airy rooms, common balcony/verandah, close by to city centre. There are actually rules and regulations for guests framed and put up inside the wardrobe which probably was written about 25 years back. Nice rooms, prompt service, courteous staff, good vegetarian food. The hotel can... More

The place was strictly average, nothing to write home about. My friend and I visited this place in August for US Visa interview. This hotel is located a stone's throw away from the Visa consulate, so there are no worries since the consulate can be reached by walk in 5 minutes. We travelled by air, so this place was quite...

We had to go to Chennai, for the US Visa interview. We had made enquiries from frienda and family, who hadpreviously been to Chennai. Most of them recommended Palmgrove Hotel, mainly because of its location to the US Embassy. One can walk the distance, hence doesn't lose time in reaching the venue. (when you look at the traffic and road... More

A south india treat with a comfort of the ambience and centrally located. Food is awesome esp the morning breakfast. So to say the pongal delicacies. Lunch is the most happening event with elaborate preparation and sumptuous food.. You can never forget the mouth-watering dishes. On top of it, it is very affordable and does not picnh your purse !

It is neat and the rooms (we stayed in a AC double room) are clean. If I were you, I would avoid staying on the ground floor (first floor as... More

The service provided at the front desk was horrible. They were too busy to be helpful and friendly to a tourist visiting the town.

I stayed here from 9th until 11th Sep. What can I say about the Service - which term does not seem to exist here. Two incidents - A bill came to Rs 460.50 and promptly rounded off to Rs 461.00 (I dont know why, perhaps the Paises are abolished now!!). When questioned, I was informed by the Front office Manager... More

Inside, the Palmgrove is reminiscent of a run-down Soviet-era hotel, with the furniture and walls telling of a former era as a business nightstay. Yet it is extremely clean, offers a full range of services up to a hair dresser, and has an extremely competent and helpful front desk. The restaurant serves cheap and good vegetarian food (and breakfast) that... More
