Chennai (Madras) Travel Forum

Hi Fellow VT's,

I will be traveling to Mumbai via Chennai this April with a one-night stop-over. Can anyone suggest a decent, clean with A/C budget hotel near the airport? (i know that the airport is way out of the city). I was informed to check out hotels in Kennet Lane.

And would you also know if that budget hotel can arrange an airport transfer from and back?

Thanks so much.

most of the hotels near the airport are not budget. on my recent visit none of the hotels big or small were available so someone took me to their house! i have stayed at two places.. the hilton hotel which cost a whopping 235 usd for a night and at the guindy racing club where a friend recommended my stay, that was wondeful stay and the rates were around 2000 indian rupees. it is best to get the hotel to pick you up since majority of the flights arrive at ungodly hours. or you can get a taxi at the airport but be prepared to pay lot more than you think. would love to hear from someone who lives in chennai and has information about the hotels near by..the airport is remodelled and the immigration and customs facilities are very good and efficient. there are atm machines near the exit.

Yah, I think Id better ask a hotel to arrange an airport pick up.

thanks.
