"Wonderful stay"

Trident, Chennai

10/10 Excellent

"Don't get dazzled by other 5 star hotels in Chennai. This is part of Oberoi group and consistently maintaining its quality all around. Close to the international airport, still quiet and rooms are functionally situated for amenities. Hotel staff are very friendly and cater to your food needs. It does not jazz up with lights and fanfare but a pretty good staying place when you travel from far away places like USA or Canada. You can rest, unwind and move on to your mission in Chennai, be its a travel agenda or work. I have been staying here whenever I visit Chennai. Ideally suited when you have to go to the airport early in the morning which is normally the case for most of the international flights. It is about 15Km away from the center of the city and it can be to your advantage to stay in a quiet neighborhood after work hours"

"Modern hotel with lovely rooms and friendly staff. The communal areas and rooms are beautifully modern, with stylish, comfortable decor. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made our stay enjoyable. The room was very comfortable and a great place to relax, with lovely bed linen and a fresh modern feel. The rooftop pool was also a highlight, with comfortable loungers and a fantastic view from the top floor. Unfortunately, the Soma Lounge was a little disappointing. On two out of the three nights of our stay, there were insects on the plates of food at the buffet, which was quite off-putting. I did bring this to the hotel’s attention on two occasions, but unfortunately, they didn’t seem particularly bothered and I didn’t feel like anyone was going to take steps to address the underlying issue. Overall, the hotel has a lot going for it, particularly its modern design, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and lovely rooftop pool."
