We had the pleasure of spending our last two nights in Chennai at Footprint. The B&B is housed on two floors of an apartment building down a quiet street in the middle of the city. It is simply, yet elegantly appointed with thoughtful attention to detail. Each apartment has a fridge in the common area which you can use to... More

We enjoyed our one-week stay at Footprint so much. Some highlights. 1. Very family-friendly. Did not feel out of place for even a minute with our toddler who was running around and playing in the common area. Also, the design is very clean and minimalist, so it was nice not to worry that she was going to pick up some... More

We spent one night after 24 hours of traveling. We would definitely return. A good place to stay for a week or two. We loved the homemade sweet red pepper marmalade. Met a friendly couple at breakfast who gave us travel advice.

My plane was delayed and I arrived very late so that the guard had to take me upstairs and wake up the manager, to take me to my room. I had let them know in advance by email and they always responded quickly. The B&B is in an apartment building with many units so is not separate but it is... More

Beautifully decorated, peaceful, spotless : the kind of place that relaxes you the minute you walk in. A lovely area too : from tiny temples and a village atmosphere on one side, to the bustle of the big city on the other. Many many thanks to Rucha and her team for their ever warm welcome, smiles and efficiency. Always a... More

I booked this B&B on the basis of the tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed. It's good value for money, and the room was simple but clean and spacious. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe staying here. There is always someone on hand if you need something, and the surrounding area seemed safe. Breakfast options changed daily... More

We also got a small introduction into how things are cooked and what ingredients they used. We had a quiet room at the back. All very clean. The most remarkable thing was the honesty.... More

I'm a travel agent on a private trip and when travelling I look for value for money spent. I have stayed in every kind of accommodation from 5 star hotels to hostels.
