            We came here for 3 visits during our trip to Tamil Nadu and found it welcoming and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good and location in a good neighbourhood though we had no problems safety wise throughout our travels around Tamil Nadu. I’d go back. Only down sides (slightly) the rooftop restaurant was a bit slow to serve

            This area has army of mosquitoes. No good car parking. Complimentary break fast is very good in terms taste but the varieties are not known till it is requested. If I want stay here for one knight , I will choose it. But the rooms on roadside will kill your sound sleep. Some rooms close to guest to the rooms are used for dumping of furniture with no impressive ambiances. It maybe a good hotel for this price at this locality.

            Rooms, staff and restaurant

            I recently spent four nights at the Raj Palace and have booked to stay another two nights before flying out of Chennai. My room and bathroom were of comfortable size and were spotlessly clean. The restaurant was good and the staff could not have been more attentive. I have no trouble highly recommending this hotel.

            service, food

            I'm Malaysian, for those who dont know what this means. We have very high standards in food and service. We went to the likes of Anjapal, Saravana Bavan and all those only to find that the Raj Palace food was better, we ended up eating everyday in the hotel. We also had some issues with taxi drivers who wanted to cheat us (we booked the taxi ourself not by the hotel) and the hotel staffs was very helpful to sorted out the issues on behalf. Overall amazing hotel service and food. Saw other complaints about the hotel, perhaps it should be taken into consideration that the comments was made sometime back and they would have changed since then. Had no issues with the hotel, only bad point is some rooms could be up kept better but for the price your paying its overall very worth it.

            The location is its best advantage. Its in the heart of the city Tnagar and both airport and chennai central are just 30-40mins aways with traffic. Without traffic its even closer. The complimentary breakfast is good and the rooms are decent neat and clean. Staff is great and helpful

STAFF TOO IS GOOD AND POLITE, ONLY ISSUE IS THE RESTAURANT WHICH SERVES B,FAST/LUNCH AND DINNER IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM , COS IF THE HOTEL IS 50% FULL THEN THE GUESTS WITH TWO AND ABOVE WITH A FAMILY MUST SIT AT THE RECEPTION LIKE MUSICAL CHAIRS TO GET A TABLE AND ALSO THE MENU SHOULD BE DIFFERENT EVERY OTHER DAY . AND ALSO THE REFILLING PROCESS OF FOOD TO THE BUFFET TABLE IS A VERY VERY SLOW PROCESS. THERE IS MORE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
