Treebo Premium Vapr Ashok Nagar

Caring staff, overall cleanliness (though there is room for improvement).

Breakfast was simple and delicious, South Indian Dishes. Location is calm and peaceful. Good spacious living rooms and ventilated with peaceful atmosphere.

Bathrooms are bit older

Location and price

Toilet flush sometimes not working

Pretty nice location on a quiet cul-de-sac in a leafy part of Chennai, not far from Ashok Pillar.

Even though Booking clearly stated that payment was to be made at the property and no prepayment was required, the hotel started bombarding me with emails asking for at least half the payment from the moment I made the reservation. They kept threatening to cancel the booking if I didn’t pay in advance, so I eventually ended up paying half of the amount online. When I arrived, I tried to pay the remaining balance by card, but they claimed they didn’t accept international cards, which seemed very strange. As a result, I had to use all the cash I had on me to settle the amount. The final straw came when I was checking out at 4am to catch my flight. I was already about to get into my Uber when a staff member came out saying I still had an outstanding balance. I had to argue with him for several minutes and even show the receipt from my earlier payment to prove it had already been settled. Overall, the whole experience felt very shambolic and unprofessional, and frankly a bit dodgy. I would strongly advise staying away from this hotel — you can find much better options for that price in Chennai.
