Kalyan Grand - a business hotel

I was in Kalyan Grand two times, in total spent 18 nights. With previous experience in India, this hotel was very nice surprise in many ways. From first contact, everything was very clear and easy to arrange. Picking up from airport till check-in and check-out. Rooms are with enough space, light and clean with all necessary accessories. Restaurant is very clean with mainly Indian food, but also you can find something in according with European taste. If you are so selective in food you can ask from stuff to prepare meal without Indian spices (I personaly prefer their spices, but my colleagues don't). For breakfast you can find toast, butter, eggs prepared on various ways, yogurt, milk etc., but in any case I recommend to also taste Indian dishes. Same story was also for dinner. For sure you will not be hungry in this hotel. My advice is to come on meal on the beginning of meal time, because hotel is always full and sometimes you maybe need to wait few moments till stuff clean and prepare table or refill dishes. Stuff is nice and polite. Receptionists speak English well and if you need something, it is quite ok to ask them, just leave enough time for satisfy your reasonable request. In restaurant, stuff don't speak English as well as reception, but enough to satisfy your needs. Hotel work as clock. If someone can't solve your problem, immediately will call someone who can. You just need to ask or tell. Hotel have possibility to arrange transportation with reasonable prices and this service is my warm recommendation. Especially if you wish to go in downtown to see or buy something. Hotel is on good location, on the road and all parts of Chennai is easy to reach by car. Near hotel is Zoo. Very nice to visit, but go there with the car, even it is very close. Hotel has independent bar, where you can spent free time with beer and snack, but also you can order food, wine or soft drinks. Bar has smoking area. Recommendation for bar staff is to spent more time for cleaning of smoking area. Generally speaking about India, from European point of view, everything is big, far and slow, so make good organization and don't do anything in the last moment. At the end, Kalyan Grand is right choice for business base in Chennai, with quality service, nice and polite stuff and fair rates. You get more than you give.
