Hotel Mallika Residency

As advertised it is just a business class hotel. If you can leave your reservations aside and consider the fact that its quite cheap then you'll be satisfied otherwise its just an average experience. I took the single room, the room per say was dingy but reasonably clean. The bed was not actually a bed but i guess it was a deewana of some sort. Room service needed to be called several times. there was no TV in my room, but i guess paying 350 per day it would be quite cheap of me me to grumble about that. the good part was the free wifi with good range, relatively clean bathroom, power backup and decent staff. Since i used it just to sleep and ws mostly not there in the room during i feel it was an ok stay

From 1999,I am a regular visitor to this Hotel.It is a decade old Hotel. Due to its attractive tariff,loyal customers like business people, and private executives, and others who hops from place to place, prefer this Hotel.Its proximity to Railway station,mount Road,Egmore,stadium, South Beach,Cinema and other shopping places is added advantage.From the last few years,free Wifi facilities has been extended to users. As for as cleanliness is concerned,management is not keen.Every day room cleaning,upkeeping of bed linen,supply of New towels for second day stay is not arranged. Status in the Deluxe and family wing is not known,since I have not taken those rooms.For those, who take up the room for short stay freshening,and for resting prefer this room because of its Tariff. For budget stayers,this Hotel is most preferred.

Rooms not properly cleaned and only one towel was given on demand.�Room service was very slow, had to remind thrice on most occasions.�There was no separate hot-cold water line for rooms.

The hotel is located in a busy area, where its an one way traffic. Exact location of hotel is with in a very small street, you cannot park your car in there. Only two wheeler can go without any problem. You can park the car in a nearby theatre called CASINO. So those who are travelling on the car, find out the theatre first(though its nearby in main road)and park it then get the token from the hotel for that. Apart from this, the hotel has very good ambience. Rooms are clean and cool. Management responds properly.

We had booked 2 AC rooms, but when we reached the hotel they said 2 rooms are not available, so instead they provided us with a Studio Room! Conclusion- if your rooms are not available why take the booking at all, and just to make sure they know about the booking I had called the reception the previous day, and the lady there told yes its confirmed! The studio room was really good, room service was good, but just to inform they don't have any room service after 10pm! All in all a good stay, which we though would be horrible at the first......! 2.5/5 from me!
