A calm place in the middle of the rushing city. When we arrived I thought we had booked two daya and the man charged as de double of the price accorded in the application saying that it was for taxes. This taxes never mentioned in the application of hostelworld. Then we stayed a third day and they gave it for free, The place has a big potential but it needs somer re-accondition words deeply.

Horrible experience! I booked for 2 nights (made a mistake!) I checked out at 9pm coz I can't stand the place! The whole place is just not a good place to chill when in Chennai.. 180yrs old Muslim Palace they say The room is filthy you can't even lie down in bed full of bed bags! Cockroach 🪳 , ants and other insects. I got skin itching whole night till I scratched my skin too bad! Bought Cetirizine, Caladryll to heal my itchiness. I should have listened to the other reviews. Well you get what
