I was looking forward to staying at a Taj hotel for the first time, having stayed at several ITC, Trident and Oberoi properties around India. Signed up for my Taj loyalty card and arrived at the Taj Connemara Chennai to be met with a very passé experience. It's a pleasant looking hotel with lovely rooms, but the service is not... More

Nice hotel. very conveniently located for shopping and travel. The feel is of the old houses is good. The rooms are good. But calls for some improvement. The staff is quite good, but the selection of their uniform does not give the fresh feeling. Overall value for money.

I spent 5 nights at this lovely hotel in central Chennai recently. I had been avoiding this place of late after being told that it is not what it used to be. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel delivers on all the requirements of a modern business hotel with the old world attractions thrown in. There are... More

I have stayed in this hotel 4 times over the past 4 years and have stayed in various rooms/areas of the hotel. The staff here are always very friendly and helpful and were prepared to move rooms when I expressed concerns about ground level (pool area) rooms as a single female traveler. The best room I had was during my... More

Always enamoured by the Connemara Chennai - the rooms here remind one of the large imposing colonial structures. Big well done up rooms with good sitting area- refreshing change from other business hotels where one tends to feel a little cramped for space. Good service as one expects of the Taj; while had a light dinner thru in-room dining which... More

I stayed at the Vivanta a few times mainly on business trips. The hotel has this old world charm which I really love. The rooms are well laid out though I believe they could do up the accessories a bit. The only thing that bothered me is the excessive fumigation in the evenings.

On arrival we were met by attentive staff in the beautiful marble foyer. Our room was well equipped with walk in shower and was totally immaculate. The fine restaurant served a high quality buffet with plenty of choice. As a couple, we were warmly greeted on entering the bar and were shown to a comfortable lounge area just off from... More

This property is in centre of town, next to everything. Heritage property well maintained by Taj. Rooms are very nice, though the hotel layout is bit confusing due to historical reasons. Gym & swim quality are good. Restaurant is excellent. Service is what stood out... well done.

This is a reasonable international 3.5-4.0 star hotel from a sub brand of the Taj chain. It is no Taj in either room or restaurant but was perfectly adequate with all modern conveniences like safes and air conditioning. The building seems a bit tired but it is a perfectly comfortable hotel.

The hotel was nice, it was my first time to India and to a Taj Hotel. I was there on business. The Indian food was very good. We did try the Asian restaurant because we were told people come to eat there. Perhaps it was more because it may have been unique, because it really wasn't great, not compared to... More
