About

The Chennai Inn

The Chennai Inn is a modest 2-star hotel in the Pallavaram area, about 4.8 km from the Rajiv Gandhi Memorial. It's a straightforward base that prioritises the essentials: a comfortable room, free parking, and a reception that's staffed around the clock.

Beyond the basics, the hotel offers 24-hour security, a lift, and a few conveniences you don't always see at this level – a bureau de change, a barber shop, and a paid shuttle service. Rooms are non-smoking and fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and free toiletries.

  • Non-smoking rooms
  • Free Wi-Fi in public areas

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Helpful, hospitable staff — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly and accommodating team, from arranging late check-outs to organising food deliveries.
  • Quiet and cozy atmosphere — Reviewers describe the ambience as calm and peaceful, making it a restful choice despite its city location.
  • Convenient airport proximity — Located near the airport, making it practical for travellers catching a flight or arriving late.
  • Free on-site parking — Free parking and valet parking are available, a useful perk for guests with their own vehicle.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed room standards — The room rating is below average for the property, and guests haven't been effusive about the accommodation itself – the strengths lie elsewhere.
  • Strict check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for leisure travellers. Late check-out was accommodated for some guests, but it's not guaranteed.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – pets are not permitted on the property.
  • Limited room choice — The hotel appears to offer a single room type, which may be restrictive for families or groups needing different configurations.
