our room was ready on arrival taking care of our special needs, there was an extra bed for our daughter and a baby cot for the toddler.
staff working at the hotel treat the workplace and the guests more than just workplace, it is like a second home to them, so the hotel guests are their guests as well.
the rooms are spacious with some extra space outside to sit and sip the cuppa. the rooms are well furnished and equipped with all basic facilities to handle the needs of a traveler.
the hotel is centrally located and easily visible from the main road.
the main attraction of the hotel is the authentic feel of the chettinadu charm through food and hospitality. The experience is not just rustic, it is well thought out by people who have travelled the world and brought the best of hospitality to enhance the whole chettinadu experience.

Bangala was a charming and delightful erstwhile chettiar club converted into a heritage hotel and definitely lived up to expectations. The rooms were lovely, large and pleasant and we loved the warmth of the decor. The lounge on teh ground floor was very invting though we did not stay too long to enjoy it. Raman and his team provided us the best vegetarian food one can imagine from chettinad and for someone who is forced to think all chettinad hotels in chennai serve more meat than vegetarian, this was a welcome surprise. Their aim is to give us a taste of it all and we certainly enjoyed it, though I have to say the service is very hurried for a slow eater like me. I could barely complete the first dish before before served the next 2!!! It was nice unobtrusive service all the way, though some of the cultural 'servitude' came through in the staff's behaviour. One recommendation would be for them to serve some alcohol ...am assuming it was not available as we not offered any!!

We enjoyed the quaint and charming atmosphere of this hotel. It has an exclusive feel too as there are few rooms and small number of other guests. So, a peaceful and relaxing stay is guaranteed. The staff are very hospitable and friendly. A huge attraction is the restaurant where the food is delicious, freshly made and plentiful. The only downside is that it is served too efficiently and at a fast pace, leaving diners a little rushed and spoiling the culinery experience slightly.

The bedrooms are charming and clean and the laundry service is excellent and great value. Things close up pretty early at the Bangala so it is not a place to go if you enjoy late nights. You can feel staff urging you to get off to bed. Unfortunately the location is not great as the hotel is on a busy road and located near to a religious site which creates a lot of noise from about 4 in the morning! However, that said, we greatly enjoyed our saty there and would happily return.

Spent a month in India and this is definitely one of our favorite places. It's a small boutique hotel with very charming rooms, excellent food and a very relaxing atmosphere. stayed there two nights and loved every minute of it. Go there to relax and wander around the region to get a sense of village life and tour the amazing mansions.
