We stayed as a family for 3 days and we could not ask for anything more. If u plan to shop around the best places in chennai (specifically pondy bazaar and Usman road) then this is the right place. Clean and neat rooms. Room service and house keeping boys are very helpful and polite. The only problem we had with... More

We had a pleasant stay here for 3 nights. Located in the heart of the busy T-Nagar district and within walking distance to Pondy Bazaar street markets and pretty close to the main malls as well. The hotel and housekeeping staff were very courteous and obliging. The room itself was slightly smaller than we expected, but was clean. It also... More

The Southern Crest is by no means swanky. But it offers clean, comfortable and air conditioned in a prety central location. On-site restaurant is decent, if unspectacular. Also a bar for a nice cold beer after a hot day. My only beef is the rather sketchy Wi-fi. Free, but with frequent disconnections, which can be frustrating if you are trying... More
