I already wrote a review for this so maybe they didn’t approve it. Average hotel in a really good location. Staff “helped” me get a cab to another place and it cost 2x as much as it would have if I’d been able to find a cab service on my own. Not overly pleased with that scam.

Central to Mylapore and close to Ramakrishna Math, Kabaleeshwarar temple, and Marina Beach. Ok for a few nights but overall condition of room was average. Hotel staff helpful but also “helped” me get a car to Thiruvannamalai when other plans didn’t work out... pretty sure they made a deal with the cab company and ripped me off for a few thousand rupees more than it should have been but I was out of options. If you are confident in your plans in Chennai and getting to or from other cities, it’s an average option that served to purpose.

Don't go to Hotel Shelter (never in Life)
I stayed in this hotel 3-4 times earlier also. There service is becoming poor day by day. This time it was a complete Upset. I will never book a hotel through Online and pay the money before completing my stay. These hotel guys are playing tricks. They are giving special rooms for customers who have already paid money through online. These rooms have some problem, which any customer can't bare. The room I have been allotted was ok. Small problem: It was having only auto lock (any hotel fellow from outside with there alternate key can open anytime - No privacy). Main problem: The water was yellow in color and foul smell was coming. I reported from the time I used the water. I was in a hurry so I used my mineral water to brush and went for work. I want to get fresh in the evening. It was in the same condition. I called the house keeping, they are coming and going. Sometimes they are even telling, you are not opening the door. It was horrible. It was night, I was fed up. I asked at-least give two buckets of good water. The guy said, we are sending. I waited for long time, nothing happened. I was so tired, I slept off. In the morning, I called the manager. he was like, sorry sir, and etc etc. stories. They were not able to solve the water problem, neither they could give clean water in Bucket. I was very un-happy. They gave some 2 liters of water to get fresh. I managed some how and get out of the hotel. Please don't pay money before using the services.
