not a nice especially for bussiness trip, no WIFI
no bill will be provided if your are going through online vendors. They will have have some commission included in the bill, in-order to conceal these details they will not. not dared to take order any food by the reviews already have. If i do have anyother hotelnear by visa office, i would have prefer other one.

Breakfast was mentioned as free but what we got in terms of breakfast terrible. They delivered some horrible breakfast to the room.
Wifi was supposed to be complimentary but I got it only after asking in night. That too took almost 40 minutes to arrange login details. If something is there in package they should offer while checking itself.

Don't attempt even if free of cost
This is one of the shoddiest hotels. there are no basic facilities... no hot water, no blankets, no towels, nothing... dirty dirty n very stinky beds... infact the entire room had hair all over.. the walls, the bathrooms, everywhere,,, no working AC , no customer help, they ignore u n its literally insulting in the end...
Stay anywhere but here... its not even worth a 500 rs. hotel.

OK FOR A TRANSIT REMAND
It's OK if you are here in the city for one or two nights en route to your destination. However, if you are here for a longer period, you may not like the fact that the property is scantily staffed, with a security attendant being in place for only 8 -9 hours during the day.
The Hotel being located in a busy locality, surrounding may not be to your liking with traffic congestion throughout the day right in front of the Hotel.
Overall Rating is satisfactory - recommended for short duration stays.

Language
It took two days for us to find they had an excellent Chinese Restaurant on the Mezzanine floor. well worth the visit just for this Restaurant. Failure to give alarm calls and attend to minor needs because they had a poor grasp of English.

Average hotel for the price
I had stayed previously in chariot. I was very nice then. say 2 years back. My recent visit wasn't pleasing. There are understaffed. Parking the vehicle taking it out is not easy. Still they use cable tv network for the tv which had grainy pictures. A temporarily arranged breakfast buffet hall which was o.k. Room service was not very pleasing.

Wifi not working
The internet wifi was dead slow.Also there was no proper office equipment near the front desk. It was hard to find hot spots in the room for logging into the web. Had to heavily rely on internet cafes outside the hotel.

A fulfilling trip
The Hotel is pretty neat and clean. The room that I had booked was already occupied but the hotel staff did not create any fuss and immediately upgraded my room. The hotel staffs are very welcoming and helpful. The food is great for someone from northern India who is interested in tasting the local cuisine.

Hotel Chariot Chennai
The Chariot is alright for a short stay. The rooms are clean and the staff quite helpful. What gives it the edge for its price is the location.
