    One of the standout features of the hotel is the amazing buffet. The food was fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious. There were so many options to choose from, and everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. I particularly enjoyed the local specialties, which were bursting with flavor. In addition to the fantastic food, the hotel also boasts a beautiful view of Chennai city. It was truly breathtaking to look out over the cityscape from my room. I spent hours just gazing out at the skyline, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. The hotel also has great amenities, including a pool and gym. I made use of both during my stay, and was impressed by the cleanliness and quality of these facilities. It was great to be able to stay active and refreshed even while traveling. One of the best things about this hotel is that it is budget-friendly. Despite the great amenities and top-notch service, the prices were incredibly reasonable. I felt like I was getting so much value for my money, and it made my stay even more enjoyable.

    We all talk n appreciate the hotel staff. But the first impression of any property is made by the security guard. Krishna at Holiday Inn is one of them. Very sweet n bright personality who will welcome you with a broad smile always. Keep it up Krishna n stay the way you are :)

    I had an awful experience in the hotel. No proper training given to reception staff. All staff will give you back answers stating these are the rules followed by the hotel. No empathy towards the customer. Never ever the in-room staff will send the food in 35 min. If you want to save the time and run for the flight quickly also you need to wait in the reception for nice 5 min even after informing them to keep the papers ready for the check out before leaving the room. Once you are done with check out you will be asked to wait for the cab. Such an awful experience from reception staff and in-room dinning staff. No sympathy for anyone who is ill also.

  • 3/5 Selvakumar T. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 196 reviews
    Recently visited along with few friends around 11:00am. Went to the restaurant in third floor. They were cleaning all the tables, so no tables were offered for us to sit. We were asked to sit on the sofas placed nearby. We ordered coffee and fresh juice. It took more than 45 min to serve. The coffee was not hot enough. The billing person did have a clue on what to bill. Overall, pathetic service.

  • 5/5 Naman K. 2 years ago on Google
    A typical Holiday inn hotel. Not amongst the most spacious ones, but very efficiently managed. The staff were great. Ours was an executive room. No complaints at all. The room service was great. According to govt rules, the swimming pool isn't open right now... The restaurant food was great and not quite as expensive as in other 5 star hotels... The buffet breakfast wasn't the best I've had, but still pretty good. Overall great experience!

  • 5/5 Vijendra S. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is very good from the point of local conveyance. The front desk is very efficient and carry out their jobs in a time bound manner. The overall ambience of the property is soothing. The rooms are spacious, clean & very well maintained. I really liked the toiletries as well. The food taste is very delicious, quality is top notch & lots of options. One thing that I feel deserves special mention is that the in the buffet as well as in room dining menu, one can easily identify whether the ingredients are plant based, dairy based, sea food, eggs, nuts, poultry, beef etc. this helps in ordering or having dishes as suited to individuals who follow certain dietary restrictions.

    Very hospitable at the front desk and very polite. Services were very quick. Occasional decorations were very pleasant. Restricted access to the floors is one of the highlight. Digvijay had ensured the room booked on time and the stays is good. Overall it was very awesome stay memorable too.

    Located at a vantage point on the OMR road. It has a lovely view of the road during the day as well as night. Excellent rooms. Fabulous restaurant and great variety of cuisine. At night one can see the beautiful Apollo Proton Centre right across the road. The view is truely awesome. I really enjoyed my stay here. Airport is also very near. Great place to stay and relax

    "5-star experience! From the moment I stepped into this hotel, I knew it was something special. The staff's warmth and attention to detail are unparalleled. The room was a perfect blend of modern comfort and elegant design, with stunning city views. Cleanliness was top-notch. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a culinary delight – every dish was a masterpiece. The central location made exploring easy, and the staff's local tips enhanced our visit. A truly memorable stay. If you're looking for luxury, impeccable service, and a prime location, this is the place to be!"

  • 4/5 Sunny B. 9 months ago on Google
    Overall the hotel location is good. The view looks good from the room. If you get road side facing then you will get to see the road, metro and even the beach to an extend. Room service is good. Housekeeping is prompt and quick. It’s not a bad deal.

  • 5/5 Shuja s. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolute value for money. The place is ideally located to get you across the city with ease. The rooms are elegantly planned to suit your essential needs. Loved the food here as well. Cafe G, there in house restaurant boasts of a wonderful spread. Hospitality here is top notch. Everyone in the staff at the restaurant including Amit, Prabhakaran, Shene, Marina ensure that you feel absolutely at home.

  • 5/5 Ongmoo L. 9 months ago on Google
    Have stayed couple of times, every time I had a great experience there. Staffs are very polite, friendly and courteous. I also would like to appreciate Ms Lungdoula who was working hard that day and fulfilling every guest requests including ours at the lunch buffet. Keep up the good work! Would highly recommend. Thanks!!

  • 4/5 Aniruddha K. 10 months ago on Google
    The stay was comfortable, food was great, service was excellent. Had every amenity one would expect from a hotel. But I expected faster and better internet connectivity.(A bit frustrating since I was on official visit)

  • 4/5 Tenzuk tenzuk Lima l. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience so far. Superb hospitality and service from every department of the hotel, ever ready to assist and help with just a call or text away. Special mention to Security Mr Krishna who is always available to help and guide us in any way possible and is very sincere to his work, really appreciate that πŸ‘

  • 4/5 Ashwin K. 1 year ago on Google
    The rooms are nice and convenient. People at reception are very detailed and welcoming. Room service has improved since my last visit. If breakfast was included, it would have been great. Disappointed in swimming pool, since they are allowing swimming classes for children at weekends, and no one is allowed to enter during their sessions. Around 15 people were waiting for more than 1 hour for the classes to end. This is a great disappointment because a pool is a place where we relax after a lot of stress from our work. And at that relaxing time, if someone has occupied, it greatly affects the relaxation vibe. They must schedule a different time for classes, and a different time for all common people. They said 6am to 6pm is the allowed time for pool. We got in only after 5 10pm. Other than this pool issue, everything was good. Had a good time with my friends.

  • 3/5 Chris M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great central location. We rented a meeting room for work purposes. The room was $4k per day. They brought coffee and snacks daily. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They put our names on the screen, welcoming our 40 person group. The lunch buffet was nice. On Sundays it was extra special, coffee shop in lobby wasn't open or didn't have an employee taking orders. We did have roaches in the room one weekend, but they were quickly handled. The wifi was strong. We were welcomed to the hotel daily, which was nice. The security is nicely supported when cars arrive and the scan bags. It was a nice place.

    I would like to Thanks Mr Sachin for his amazing service and hard work. He is very professional and helpful by nature. I was in my Navratri fasting and he helped me with the vrat ka Meal and rest of the things nicely. Being a normal staff is ordinary, but a staff with good heart and going extra mile to give customers a very Good experience is extra ordinary. I would love to visit this amazing property soon in near future. Thank you so much and keep smiling.

Thank you holiday inn for having all good starts around you πŸ™Œ Such a good place to have good stay and good experience!

  • 3/5 Anish T. 5 months ago on Google
    1. There was electrical failure throughout one of the three nights I stayed. Due to AC failure and no window, it was hot and I couldn't sleep. Due to lack of sleep, I had a hard time concentrating on work and presentations at office. 2. The parking is way below the mark for a hotel that charges this high and claims to be 5-star. They have only valet parking, no self parking. My car came back with dust windows every time, including bird poop on one occasion. The reception maintained that it's covered parking, but I heard from some staff that it's open. 3. Breakfast spread was good. Restaurant good quality is good.

  • 3/5 Abdul K. 5 months ago on Google
    I went for buffet dinner on the 3rd floor, starters are not filled , it is empty , not much varieties.. chicken Briyani was so brownish. Veg dishes some how good.. fish stew is so bad.. carrot payasam is more sweet.. no one bothered to ask customer experience

  • 5/5 Anupriya 5 months ago on Google

    Visited for new year eve dinner. Awesome spread and very good service. Mr. Nitesh was prompt and polite to help with our reservation. Definitely planning to stay here for our next visit to Chennai.

  • 4/5 Mugunthan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really very good experience in my life. Very good and nice place but quite expensive foods. Also small issue happens in that place, actually I booked 12 to 12 but they told 3pm to 12pm. So everyone need to check and confirm it first and go. Rest all are good.

  • 4/5 Ankit S. 2 years ago on Google
    Room service is good. They follow covid protocol with due diligence. However, the food taste is somewhat lacking. Overall a good experience.

  • 5/5 Muthu S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Anand L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place. Room was upgraded to sea view for free. Breakfast was the usual buffet but staff were helpful.

  • 5/5 Rahul J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good, early breakfast buffet. Nice place for an early breakfast. We went at 7:30 in the morning and enjoyed the food. The desserts werent the best and the bacon took forever to arrive, had very little quantity and was deep-fried until almost burnt - this could be better. Savouries are overall of good quality though, and have a decent spread too. Chicken sausages were really good.

  • 5/5 Harsh A. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 poulomi p. 2 years ago on Google
    Somehow not happy with buffet service. I was informed breakfast buffet starts at 0700 hrs however when I went at 0730 hrs they still weren’t properly functioning. I ordered from live counter and was served around 0800 hrs . Food was good and staff behaviour was also nice it’s just very slow !!! Also if you take twin sharing room they will only provide you one key so if one of you wanna go out or even go to restaurant and wanna go back to room you will have to wait for staff to give you access. Such tiring process!! All in all I have seen better services so would not prefer for personal stay ( I have to stay here for work purpose as my company books this hotel ).

  • 5/5 Nikul V. 2 years ago on Google

    Good place for a family time on weekends, Andra food festival was amazing and good buffet with flavours of Andra, customised to everyone. Well set ambiance to bring a feel of Andra.Also has desserts that were Andra style. Hotel also has kids zone on weekends, which was fun not just for kids for elders as well.

  • 5/5 BALAJI R. 2 years ago on Google
    You'll love the hospitality in all aspects - booking, valet parking, welcoming, room service, facilities, amenities, room, designs, safety features and many more. Truly star. Luxury. You'll love the food. The only disadvantage is the koovam from the sea side view rooms and the smell it generates while spending time at the swimming pool (3rd floor).

  • 5/5 Prashant P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Place and delightful ambience. All the hotel Staff's are cooperative and helping nature. They serve exotic food throughout the day. Their travel desk's response is quick for any car service. Special thanks to the Security guard Mr. Krishna who works hard and will greet you politely Everytime he meets you 😊

  • 5/5 Arindam Sinha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Mr Gourab at Front Desk was extremely helpful during our check in process. He provided us with complimentary extra bed even without asking. Rooms were spacious, house keeping staff was very polite and helping. Dove products available in the washrooms was praiseworthy. A sweet chocolate surprise at checkout made our day.

  • 5/5 Prashanth R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had booked a room for 2 for 2 nights. Their service and attention to detail were both impeccable. The room we booked was mentioned as the sea view room and it was exactly as advertised. The rooms were clean and overall was an awesome experience. Would definitely go back there if we ever need to book a hotel stay again in Chennai.

  • 3/5 Guru N. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here first time for the buffet on Friday with team. Location, ambience and view everything are superb. Food was good for both veg and non veg. Food taste is good but variety is less. We didn't see many dishes as compared to normal BBQs. One thing to improve is, Desserts. It was not good. They had only plain ice cream which is not creamy and there were no toppings, syrup customizations we can add. So I wouldn't prefer here if you love to have desserts. Overall it is okay for Rs.1500 and nice to visit first time.

  • 4/5 Anish R N. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful hotel. Came here to join for a conference dinner that we arranged. Beautiful place to visit. However limited space. They provide valet parking making it easy to visit. The food was quite good and It tastes well. The hotel ambience is good and clean. The staff ate always around to help. Good to visit and is located at one of the busiest roads. Good πŸ‘

  • 4/5 tk s. 1 year ago on Google
    Very much accessible. Hotel reception team could be more professional. They couldn't guide me on Marriage reception place( floor). Food was okay but could have been better especially Vegetarian. Lobby where food was served was crowded and one couldn't move freely. Attended a marriage reception hence no idea on Rooms/ room services.

  • 3/5 Sukhpreet S. 1 year ago on Google
    The good part is that the room I stayed justifies the name (king) attached to it. I enjoyed the space which they offer for stay. I was expecting a touch of exclusivity of Holiday inn making it different from other similar options but could not find that possibily because most of my time is spent in room and dine-in but overall it was good choice close to IT park

  • 5/5 Anindita P. 2 years ago on Google
    I stayed with my family at Holiday Inn Chennai OMR IT Expressway for 3 nights 4 days. It was a perfect stay experience in ultimate comfort and luxury. I enjoyed the international and Indian delicacies served in the buffet dinner and breakfast. Awesome rooms with city view, great hospitality, beautiful decor. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 avinash K. 10 months ago on Google
    I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn and had a great experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay. My room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities I required, including a small refrigerator, coffee maker, and flat-screen TV with plenty of channels. The bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep every night.
