What guests think

Across recent reviews, Grand Chennai by GRT Hotels is praised for exceptionally friendly service, a generous breakfast buffet, and a central, walkable location near shopping, with many guests also highlighting spacious, comfortable rooms and well-kept facilities.

Common downsides include occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues (like bathroom leaks or odors), event noise during functions, and mixed experiences with reception, check-in, or bar service. In dining, ingredient labeling and crowd management were inconsistent, and one nut-allergy incident was reported. Expect a welcoming, well-located stay with strong service and a lively atmosphere.

Some breakfast items are repeated daily. Auto riders that are stationed outside the hotel waiting for hotel guests to take their transport are not safe at all.They charge exorbitant prices and they are abusive and arrogant to hotel guests.I had experienced this on the recent visit when i do not take their transport rides. This is to safeguard the hotel guest coming out of the hotel to look for other transport . I feel the hotel management can remove them infront of the hotel. Bodhi Spa service in the hotel was really good. The travel desk at the hotel should improve their service.

The housekeeping staff were very slow and took more than an hour to respond and after 3 calls. My sheets also had a stain (appeared like a squashed mosquito). Otherwise, I would have given a better rating.

Our group was fairly comfortable. The staff worked hard.The rooms were pretty much worn. Most of the light switches in my room were damaged. The dining is geared towards non vegetarians. The general aesthetic was a bit too gaudy. Finally we lost a pair of pants in the laundry. We probably would not pick GRT again in the future.

This hotel is not a 5 star hotel. The rooms are barely better than motel6 USA standards. The room entrance and bathrooms/showers are barely 7ft tall. The buffet and pool are ok. We selected grapes as daily amenities . I stayed for 4 days and asked for it for 3 days and it never came. Save your money and book elsewhere if you want a true 5 star experience.

Out of all the 5 star hotels that we have stayed in and around the world, they have unmatched service. Housekeeping, front desk and any service person is always available to attend to your needs. I wonder who the duty manager is, he has trained people so well. They never have said "no" for any of my requests. Some improvements 1. Add smart tv to rooms. Tata sky is pretty annoying with so many ads 2. Need a bit bigger rooms if possible. 3. Breakfast buffet was fantastic but aappam is only available few days, having that consistently would be good.

My experience at Grand Chennai was excellent. On arrival, we were promptly attended to and service staff ushered us to the room explaining the facilities within the room. Breakfast exceeded our expectations. Just one minor comment at the cereal counter, the bowls and milk should have been replenished without requesting. I have to request for it on various days. However, staff attended to my request promptly. Special mention to one of the staff Ushmitha, very helpful and promptly attended to our request. Aside from the positive comments, I believe some improvements can be made in restaurant staff's communication skills. Guest should never be turned away when approached for meals, even when nearing closing time. Instead, we witnessed a hand gesture (indicating the restaurant is closed) made by one staff to another who were negotiating for alternate arrangement. Noticing this we left the restaurant as the staff were not prepared to attend to us. Certainly, some training can be provided to this respect. Otherwise, a pleasant stay and would choose Grand Chennai in my next visit. Thank you.

The staff at the reception are unaware and share misleading information. For example we were told the buffet is open when it was actually closed and then they told us to go upstairs and order room service. Completely wasting our time. The reception staff also have a hard time speaking/ understanding English and Tamil. So when they answer the phone (they take so long to answer), they don’t understand what we are saying. The reception phone line should not take that long, all other hotels answer so much faster. All other staff have been great, I think the reception team was terrible and have definitely provided me with misleading information numerous times.

Hotel location is good. I had a bad experience with auto riders who park for hours outside of the hotel and waiting to cheat the hotel guest of exorbitant transport fares to any nearby places, The auto riders stationed outside of the hotel passed sarcastic and unreasonable comments such as ...." females staying in star hotels but are cheapskate beggars". This matter was brought to the manager over breakfast on 12 August. We as tourists visiting chennai are not here to be conned and cheated by the auto riders. i was staying in room 507 from 09 Aug to 13 Aug.the shower room the water leaks out of the lower bottom of the shower screen and the floor gets very very wet even a floor mat is placed.On the 12 August after a shower i almost slipped and fall in the bathroom where my one elbow hit the door and the other elbow hit the shower screen glass.thank god i never fall flat on the floor and hurt myself. i had brought forward to the housekeeping staff bicky and told him about this matter and he immediately contacted the maintenance staff to check . Hotel is clean and hygienic, service is good. certain food items are repeated daily at the breakfast buffet. Hope to see a better improvement in the next visit to chennai.

Staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good. The hotel is right next to the shopping area of Chennai, Pondy Bazaar. Silk is dirt cheap in India so it was fun shopping along Pondy Bazaar. Tailors charge 400rupees per pants or blouse so I had several outfits made. All these in the area of the hotel. There is a supermarket a block away from the hotel.

We booked a room at a 5-star hotel, but being there felt more like a 6-star experience. We'll definitely use the same hotel every time we visit Chennai in the future! Thank you to the entire staff!

For most part. Their buffet doesn't always mention ingredients of their dishes and their dining staff are not educated about the ingredients. My daughter a allergic reaction to a dish which had nuts which she is allergic to! We asked the server who said it’s nut free and she checked with souz chef who also said it was nut free. But they later said they had added few cashew to the dish. My daughter ended in the hospital for a day. Following the incident hotel didn't check on us or address the issue. They have multiple tour company guest staying with them like Gate 1. Suggested to the manager how to handle this situation.

They also have peanut snacks at the front that are complimentary for guests. The location was great, and the staff was helpful. They even packed us breakfast to-go on our last day, as we had to leave before the breakfast start time.
