Upar Hotels - T Nagar

Stayed for 2 nights and 3 days in May 2026. The cost was approximately 8,400 Japanese Yen. The room was relatively clean. There was a slight, somewhat musty or sewer-like smell in the room, which was a bit bothersome but acceptable. The soundproofing was good; I couldn't hear the outside hustle and bustle. However, I could hear conversations from other rooms quite clearly. The shower had hot water, which was a plus. I think the power outlets were Type C. The staff's service was good. When I asked the receptionist, they exchanged my 500 rupee note into smaller denominations. There was a dining hall at the back of the first floor, but it didn't seem to be in use during my stay.

The bedding, floor, and the room in general were clean. The location was also very close to the bustling downtown area. As a beer lover, I appreciated having an alcohol store nearby. The downsides were that the water wasn't hot, only lukewarm, the sink drainpipe was detached and leaked directly onto the floor, and there was no shower. However, Chennai in May is scorching, so I didn't mind the lukewarm water at all. Overall, I'm satisfied!

This place has some inconveniences for foreigners. There's no refrigerator, no indoor slippers, no shower in the bathroom, no toothpaste, and no hairdryer. Cleanliness: The floor was dusty and dirty, but the sheets and pillows were clean. Location, Accessibility: It's close to the center of T-Nagar, making it easy to get around. There's a McDonald's nearby, but it closes at midnight. Restaurants and small shops in the area also close before 12 AM. Staff Service: Not bad. The card-operated door has a damaged outer casing.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the T Nagar center, and there's a McDonald's right behind the block. The room condition was decent, and the friendly staff made our stay memorable.

The location is moderate, but the cleanliness is excellent. The reception staff were also very kind. The breakfast, which included corn flakes with milk, toast, butter, and strawberry jam, was good.
