Taj Connemara

Love the charm & the vintage luxury feeling of this hotel. Does not give you the routine chain hotel vibe at all. The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel. They were always friendly and asked how our stay was going every time. The room cleanliness is good. The most comfortable is the bed.

I really liked the ambience of the hotel. The staff were very polite and behaved professionally. The Restaurant inside was great. They even have an EV Charger. I am glad that they have that. I was a little skeptical on buying an EV car but by seeing this it's reassuring. I would say this is the best feature of the hotel. The only thing that I didn't like about the visit was, I went by two wheeler as it was very close by to the place i live. I went to the entrance gate and watchmen stopped me and said to come by a different back entrance. That was a little annoying . I don't get the point of me going via a different entrance just because I had a two wheeler. The entrance I was denied entry is connected to the bike park they could have let me in and showed me the direction. I can understand it's a 5 star hotel and they might have certain rules. But this rule doesn't make any sense. Just because someone came by a 4 wheeler they can enter the front gate and i have to enter the back gate because I came by 2 wheeler. The funny part about all this is the car which went in before me when i was denied access was an alto. Come on man my two wheeler costs twice the money than that joke of a car alto .

After thirty years of coming to visit the old bookshop, Giggles, and to have cold coffee in the Connemara, we were pleased to stay here while visiting relatives in Chennai. The staff work extremely hard and the hotel is comfortable and well looked after. I'm surprised at the "white lotus" snobby comments in some of the reviews that perhaps were made by some of the snobby people who stay here. If you avoid those people who tend to entirely forget the rest of humanity, you will have a great experience. It's a lovely place.

We stayed at the Connemara for 5 days for a short break, and found the staff very kind and helpful - especially Gopalji, who cleaned our room on the third floor. He was very kind, polite and helpful. The breakfast was lovely and so was the pool. The hotel is full of character and history, although it did look a little tired in places and in need of some TLC. It's based in a great central location.

This place is right in the heart of the City. Most financial Clients I met in Chennai had their head office within 10 KM of this hotel. It is an old but well-maintained property. The poolside seating next to the restaurant is a great place to relax. The food served is great. I especially like the Welcome tray made of chocolate that looked like a Boat. The stay was pleasant. I had a few problem with Intercom and wifi, which is not expected from such hotel. Other wise the stay was awesome and highly recommended.
