Nakshatra Suites

its not a hotel first of all...its apartment and service was terrible ...no water and bad smelling bathrooms...please please don't book even if they give u free of charge..no one there if you go to find them out,,

We had not booked into this property, but their serviced apartments closer to the airport as we were o/nighting in Chennai. The phone number provided on the booking form was wrong so an internet search required. After driving around for nearly an hour with a government taxi driver who had no clue where this place was (another long story) and finding the correct number, we learned we had been moved to the suites. As they had an Indian mobile number for us we were not advised. Another 25 minute journey through some of the most putrid smells we have experienced in our 3 months in India, we arrived at the suites. Seriously, they cannot be called suites. Our room had twin beds that were half decent, the bathroom was caked with body oil and soap build up, room overall wasn't too bad. Breakfast was not ready at 7 am so we had nothing before our flight. Unbelievable, overpriced, and better to pay few more rupees to be near the airport if this is what you need.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Nakshatra suites in Chennai. To be frank, we were relieved to check out. The apartments were very bizarrely managed: our room was located directly next to the reception, which meant that we could hear everything the receptionist was saying...and of course he could hear everything we were saying. Needless to say, there was no privacy. Most unfortunate was that the reception was staffed 24 hours a day...meaning that even in the early hours of the morning we had a stranger sitting right outside our door. I had to get up around 1am to ask him to keep quiet, as he was entertaining his friends. Our complimentary breakfast consisted of two half cooked eggs and a cup of coffee. No bread, no extras. I was insulted. To make matters worse, the apartments were located so far from town that the taxi fares cost as much as the room. Definitely avoid these guys...its a scam and not at all worth the money!!!
