Review of Hotel Shelter
1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 13, 2022
Very good looking and nice hotel from the outside...But you go into the rooms and omg...

Our bathroom had cold oil everywhere on the knobs...it was like somebody had had an oil bath months ago and left it at that..so the oil had frozen on the knobs..

The room had a fan with the regulator not working..so either you had the fan moving at full speed or you just switched it off.. I complained at the reception on an everyday basis..we were there 3 days and a total of 6 people came to have a look at it and left promising to rectify it but no sign of it..

There is no restaurant in the hotel so if you need food they order it for you and charge an enormous surcharge..

Unclean but super expensive for anything...we had a good weeks stay scheduled in Chennai but we checked out in 3 days and moved to a better place at almost the same cost
Date of stay: June 2022
Room Tip: you will surely find better places than this one

Improved. Good for solo travellers. Safe place. Good food. Bar has some privacy. Really good for people travelling solo and for business. Located in center of chennai easily accessible. Planning to visit with family next time. Travelling from here to anyplace is less tiring.

Room tip: One advantage you can call the hotel and ask for requests and timing adjustments. They are really helpful in all aspects

Hello friends after a long time I booked at Hotel Shelter-Mylapore. Front office team greeted me in very nice way. They follow all Protocols. Rooms are neat and clean. Breakfast is really good. I spent some time in indoor games as well as gym.
Only two kilometres to Marina beach and 300 meters to temples. People who travels chennai must try because of local culture and exploring gives happiness.will refer my friends and families.

This hotel is in the vicinity of several large hospitals and clinics making it a convenient, reasonably priced hotel for those visiting Chennai for medical treatment. The staff are great, the rooms are comfortable, the restaurant is very ordinary and very slow with mostly Southern Indian vegetarian dishes. The internet is amongst the worst that I have ever been provided in a hotel. Unable to load popular applications such as gmail or Facebook and an eternity to load websites. People sitting outside of their rooms to get a decent signal. Don't stay here is you need reliable, workable internet. Stay here if you don't care about internet.
