I had a decent stay at this hotel. The rooms were huge, clean, and came with a nice cultural touch, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the location could be better, as it was quite congested and noisy, and the breakfast service started late, making it tricky for early risers like me.

I found the hotel to be quite nice, with spacious and comfortable rooms featuring some great amenities like a balcony and wooden furnishings. The staff were all friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the location was a bit disappointing as it didn't have a charming French ambiance and felt congested like typical Chennai. Overall, the accommodations were good value for the price, but the dining could use some improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite the experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely antique furniture, and they were impeccably clean. The service was overall good, with the staff being friendly and helpful. However, the location left something to be desired as it felt congested and noisy, and the dining area was a bit claustrophobic. The complimentary breakfast was nice, but it was only served late in the morning, which wasn’t ideal for early risers.

The hotel had some great charm with its lovely antique furniture and fittings, making my stay feel cozy and inviting. However, the layout seemed a bit awkward, as the TV was quite far from the beds, which made watching it not ideal. The location was a bit noisy and congested, but if you're okay being a little away from the French Quarter, it’s a decent choice. Overall, it was value for money, especially with a helpful staff that assisted with local travel arrangements.
