The Belstead Near US Consulate

My mother in law recently travelled back to India from Australia and we decided for her stay in Chennai for few days before travelling back to her hometown Madurai. We decided to book The Belstead hotel for her stay as we stayed at the same with family on our last trip to India so we decided to book the hotel again. Since she travelled alone we requested the hotel to help her throughout her stay and the staff did take extra care of her all the time. The free breakfast that was included with the booking was very good and had different dishes served everyday. The rooms were of good size and were cleaned everyday with all the amenities available. She stayed at the hotel for 4 days and since she was not from Chennai the staff were very kind to help her book taxis every time to travel around the city and also arranged a cab for her to travel back to Madurai. She felt safe and had a pleasant stay whole time. Since we have stayed at this hotel few times now and had a wonderful experience both the times we would highly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Chennai.

Wastage of money, not worth of spending this much of amount.Better to plan for renown brands like Park Elanza etc. in same price. Breakfast is horrible and rotten smell of food. Staff is also not supporting and they are not following COVID protocols like wearing masks, gloves etc.., Why would you allow a room to be checked in to when there are huge technical issues? and this is by far incredibly disappointing. we could hear talks of people from others rooms.. can u believe?? i never faced this in any of hotels i stayed.. who gave them 3 star??? This hotel people have such a mentality of dark ages that they didn't allow my guest to my room in the afternoon with me, as it was a lady not a man. She was my friend.They behaved rudely with me. These people are living in the dark ages not 21st century INDIA.If the owner of this hotel is listening then they can be sure this hotel;s reputation can be ruined if they allow my guest in the room. And they did not clean the linens as properly it was stains on that linens they changed. There is no food that we order at 3pm. and their replies are very worst and the behaviour of FO Manager Mr. Nelakandan was very arrogant and rude how the management put this kind of people as manager. Over all waste of money and don't go their again for Business travelers.

The facade of this unassuming hotel is not very inviting (unlike in the images) but the rooms, service, the staff is great. We stayed for a night but v=were impressed, especially with the service and COVID precautions. Check-in, check-out were smooth and hassle-free.

Stayed here for a few days in Dec 2019 due to it being in the center and easily accessible for friends and family. The other good thing about this hotel is that there is a pub "Lord of the drinks". Its insane and always full, so be prepared for the music and noise level to increase. The cleanliness is what I didn't like. I felt that the hotel could have done a better job. They should have has the rooms carpeted. The rooms are not that big but decent enough. Service was mediocre as well. If you want a budget hotel with an awesome pub, then head here.

I've stayed here for 2 nights and the experience was amazing. The room was really clean and smelled fresh. The restaurant in house has great breakfast and good selection and the staff were simply splended in maintaining social distancing norms. The staff especially Ajit,Roy, Reema, Hari and Karthik were completely professional.
