I booked through on line. My family consisting of wife, a 22 years doughter and 13 year son came to chennai. The rececptionist age around 52, asked ID for each of the individual, I shown my Departmental ID, but he refused and asked to give other ID, so, I shown my Driving Id, My wife's driving Id, my daughter's Voters ID which saved in my mobile _its rejected by him. He compelsorily asked to produce my boy's Id. So I promised him that Aathar card copy would be downloaded and then produced to you. This conversation between us went about 40 minutes. Still that, my family members standing in front office. No staff, tell us to seated there. It took 40 minutes . No workers helped to transport luggages to checkin . All Rooms are in small

Abysmal
I booked for 3 persons to stay in this hotel for an excessive local price. Unfortunately one bed was available for 2 persons in the room to sleep on, the 3 rd person had to sleep on a mattress that was laid on floor and the room was only had a capacity for the 2 bed meaning we could not move around when the mattress was laid on the floor. This was not what I expected when I book this hotel especially for 42$/night. When I checked out I asked why we were given this 2 bed room ? the receptionist said we only have 2 bed rooms there is no rooms in the hotel to acomódate 3 beds as the are all 2 bed rooms. However, the advert didn’t mention this. The toilet was not clean and the noise from the street was terrible all night. The only positive thing was the breakfast but did not enjoy that much due to sleepless night.

Very disappointing
I booked the hotel for my elderly parents and they were completely cheated out of it. First some staff asked for money, in spite of having received full payment. They took the money as well, but some other staff returned it. Second, they had to insist on the breakfast inclusion that was paid for as well. With reluctance they gave free breakfast. Thirdly, they were not given an executive room with a king size bed as clearly mentioned in the booking, instead they were given a room with twin bed with an insistence that, that was the executive room. People who take advantage of elders should feel ashamed of themselves. Very disappointing for the amount of money charged.

Ok, but cheaper ones in the area.
My room didn’t get cleaned/serviced once and the gym was only open for a few, inconvenient, hours per day (early morning or late afternoon). The buffet breakfast was good, but you don’t get it on the day you check out! My fan room was very hot despite me switching it constantly to the fullest. The shower also blocked and flooded the bathroom/bedroom floor.

DO NOT STAY HERE......you'll regret it
This hotel is horrible. First off, the pictures they have are not a good representation of what you really get. Old and dirty. I prepaid on hotels.com at $60 US Dollars. I get there and the rate is posted at $20. They then told me I needed to pay another $30 (2000 rupes) for a/c. Their posted rate for an a/c standard room is 1925 rupees for half board. So, they were trying to rip me off!!! My booking was for a/c already but refused to give me what I paid for and stuck me in this hot room with no air flow. The manager and employee at the desk had no concern for me or my comfort. They also tried to tell me my reservation was not a half board and did not want to honor my $4 voucher they gave me for dinner. My friends stayed at a much better hotel for cheaper very close by. Do that!

The room was good but the bathroom was so small we struggled to move around in it. The train station is close but that's about it. You will have to get a taxi/tuk tuk to go shopping. Breakfast is just ordinary if you curry you will be fine.

This hotel is good but basic accommodation. There are lots of good restaurants nearby, even on the same lane. Breakfast was basic Indian fare and toast, sometimes a hard boiled egg. They will give you one internet sign-in per person per day, which can be a headache if you have multiple devices. There is a very small gym with a treadmill, exercise bike and a hodgepodge of small dumbbells.

Average hotel, good location
This is my second stay at Hotel Pandian. While the facilities are lacking, the staff is wonderfully friendly and accomodating. The Front Office Manager, Mr. Sudeesh Kumar is exceptionally accomodating and helpful and gave me a warm greeting every time he saw me. His office door was always open to me and he was ready to quickly remedy any issues I was having. The front desk staff is also very warm, friendly and helpful. The main issue about the hotel is that is is extremely noisy due to it's location. In addition, the housekeeping staff are also very noisy in the mornings. The quality of the rooms needs improvement and each of the rooms I have stayed in could do with a fresh coat of paint. Most importantly-New shower curtains please!! Also, having free wi-fi is wonderful but you must check in at the front desk and get a new login/password EVERY DAY. Why is this necessary? It's inconvenient to the guest and wastes time for the front desk staff each time they have to stop and log in another wi-fi usage. Why can't we just get one log in/password for the duration of the stay? Overall, I felt very welcomed by the staff upon my second visit to the hotel but the quality of the rooms and the excess noise makes me very hesitant to stay there again.

Pleasant stay at Pandian Hotel
Overall, quite happy with the stay. As it was close to Egmore station and plenty of eateries around, I would say location was good. Stayed in a single room. Though a bit small but was well kept and maintained. So do I have good words about the Washroom, well maintained with hot water available.

中の下レベルです
フロントに清掃するように毎日言っていたが４日中、２日はされていなかった。更に後で清掃に来たスタッフは明らかに不満そうだった。 また道路に面していてインド特有のクラクションのうるささに悩まされた。 ファンルームだったので窓が閉められなかった。 網戸ははまっているが蚊が多かった。 wifiは弱すぎて使えなかった。 中級ホテルと書かれているが、実際のサービスレベルは低い。 良い点は、駅まで近い事と朝のブッフェがまぁまぁだったこと。
