ITC Grand Chola, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Chennai
10/10 Excellent
"Hotel reasonably close to the airport. Booked a two bedroom, two bath apartment for me and parents. First allotted one had a questionable nicotine odor though it was a non smoking room. Front desk was quick to change the room after we notified them. Really nice of them to do that immediately. All staff were very polite and genuinely hospitable. Food was good at Cafe mercara and Madras pavilion. The Madras pavilion buffet is good but not great. Also the buffets gets crowded at any meal and can be noisy during peak hours. For a hotel this big, I felt the gym was small and no indoor stationery bikes either. Would definitely stay here again since I am a Marriott member, although I would check the other similar hotels in this category too. "
"Stay was comfortable. There was some issue with their telephone. Tried reaching them for an early check in but was not getting connected. After reaching hotel at 10 AM had to wait till 11 30 to get the room."
"The staff, in particular the housekeeping staff were extremely polite and courteous. They anticipated our needs and made sure it was taken care of in a prompt manner.
The food is of good quality, and food variety is good but the flavors tend to be a little bland for I down food, probably catering to an international audience. Great team of employees! "
