Stayed, as with most others, for transit. Rooms are grubby & boiling hot. Some of the staff are nice but expect tips for every little thing. One chubby male staff member (about 30ish) came to get me (at 3am) for my early flight. I was ready to leave. He grabbed my hand and tried to pull me towards him and... More

One should be insane to stay overnight at this hotel. I had to change 3 rooms for a night stay because of the sick and untidy environment. Water leakage, broken pipes spilling water all around, cigarette filters in the bathrooms, dusty tubs, untidy ambiance....and the worst nightmare was "a police raid on the hotel in the midnight suspecting prostitution". I... More

This hotel had reviews and rating that seemed OK for a short stay over before taking an early AM flight. They were wrong. There was no hot water, there were many cockroaches and other creeping bugs, there were rotten boards and nails sticking out of bathroom floor, the room (labeled "deluxe") was dingy and smelled of mold, mildew was visible...

I made a terrible mistake of choosing this hotel for a recent stay. Receptionist collected the entire tariff as advance. I entered a small stink hole they call a room. There was no electricity so no ac, fan or lights. Although it was daytime, there was no ventilation as there was no window. So it felt like midnight during mid... More

I stayed just for a night, but i had a overall very bad experience. The bedsheets were not good. Furniture was broken. The staff was not good, staff was expecting tip for everything.

Decent place for a few hours transit, but not for anything else. Not worth the 30euros it costs.

If you are reading this, there is only one explanation: you need a 1 night room between flights! If that is not the case then find another place then here. But for those who are in that situation, well it is totally ok! Not great, a bit overpriced for what it is but it is clean, it does not smell... More

When we came out from airport, they didn't send vehicle and they asked to take taxi from there which will be discounted from rent. After reaching hotel, we have seen dirtly atmosphere which is not at... More

The hotel is a typical backpackers abode. The only problem I felt with this place is that it couldn't have a worse location. We had to make atleast 5 calls to the "Tamil only" receptionist The rooms are OK but they dint have the provision to split the double beds even though we were promised separate single beds leading to...

I travel thru Chennai often, was looking for a place near the airport with a free shuttle. Had read the reviews about Hotel Mars on Trip Advisor and almost cancelled my reservation. Glad I kept the booking. The rooms were newly renovated, neat, clean with very modern bathroom fixtures. The airport shuttle was timely and staff was attentive and helpful.... More
