I really tend to review only independent hotels. We all know what to expect from a big chain hotel, but the independent places are less predictable. I really like this kind of hotel. Very laid-back and with a nice slightly quirky atmosphere, unlike a dull chain hotel. The rooms are huge. Bathroom was OK. I couldn't get the shower to work properly so resorted to the Indian 'bucket and jug' method, which was fine. (I'm sure if I had asked, they would have sorted out the shower for me. I didn't ask.) There are pretty minimal facilities, but that was also fine, and exactly as I had expected from Expedia description. Quiet, clean, and safe. The restaurant is great: well cooked South Indian options, and good freshly cooked breakfast options. Super efficient and reasonably priced laundry service: clothes picked up in the morning, delivered washed and ironed later the same day. My stay was very pleasant. A good option.
I visit Chennai annually and first 3-4 nights at local hotels. The Hanu Reddy Residence at Poes Garden is definitely a cut above in the price range. The staff was super courteous, responding immediately to my needs. The room was spacious, the bed was firm and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean, all the fixtures were like new and the shower was a luxury! The AC was quiet and worked reliably.
Hanu Reddy Residence at Poes Garden is hidden treasure and a well kept secret. I plan to make all my future stays to HRR.
I find it very homely and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is close to the major shopping hubs, but in a very quiet neighborhood. This is my second time here and surely come back again
What stands out is that the service provided by the staff is simply outstanding. I knew about Reddy family. Each family member had breakfast with me and my wife. They have many repeat customers who stay for 2 to 3 months at a time. Location is central.
The setting is lovely, situated in a quiet tree-lined neighbourhood. The dining area is nice, with a variety of reasonably priced meals.
Staff were good, and very helpful.
However, I would not consider it a luxury hotel. Rooms are outdated and fixtures are old. The towels provided were threadbare. I used the 2 teabags and they were not replenished.
The biggest issue was the abundance of mosquitoes in my room. Although there was a mosquito zapper, it only worked when the room was occupied. In the mornings I'd wake to several dead mosquitos, but there would still be many circulating constantly. I had to sleep with my head under the sheet.
When my visit came to an end, I left the hotel covered in mosquito bites.
Room #2 is close to a staff toilet which stank to high heaven.
In fact, public area in that building smelled as though I'm entering a public toilet.
I didn't feel the food is prepared fresh.
The toilet didn't flush well. I don't mean it's broken, but the model is not good.
We checked in around early morning 4 AM. We found it difficult to wake up the receptionist. We were on high hopes because of Pose Garden area. The property pictures is so good and beautiful in the website.
We found the room is so dark and not elegant as what we had seen in the pictures. Worst bathroom.

The property is located in the heart of a urban and posh part of Chennai and is on a quiet and pleasant compound with historical features. Everything is well kept and fair priced. Staff is very professional, friendly and attentive. The breakfast is included and food and beverages are fresh and high quality, offering a really nice experience.
Loved to stay where it is wuiet calm and peaceful and staff always smiling and helped us instantly whatever we ask. We have stayed there before and definitely will stay and recommend it to others
