Excellent location - just few steps off the pearl beach. The villa was very clean and well designed. The kids enjoyed their evening in the pool. The host was very accommodating and their hospitality was much appreciated. The terrace room was creatively designed and it was very helpful in throwing a surprise party for my sister. The villa has excellent view and witnessing the sunrise was pure bliss. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and we are looking forward to stay again.

    This place is the best. The friendly staff, the access to the city center, and the perfect local feel make it a wonderful experience. The place is very clean, and you can use the kitchen to boil water and do the dishes. I had some personal trouble on the first day, but superhero Bobby showed up and solved it brilliantly. The place is so nice that I stayed an extra night. If I come to Chennai again, I'll definitely stay here! I'm so grateful to the staff at Hostel Gandhi.

    Great location in quiet residential area with fabulous modernist interiors. Very comfy bed, good air conditioning, great shower pressure and WiFi. Kind and helpful staff. To maximise the potential of this fabulous hotel a program of sympathetic renovation would now be of benefit.
