During my stay there was a power outage in the morning when I was in business call. When I checked with front office they replied weirdly saying it’s Normal power fluctuation. I didn’t expect this from a 5 star reputed hotel. Please maintain the standard & reputation and treat each customer as VVIP.

Great hotel with wonderful service butour room was a bit tired especially the bathroom. Food was excellent and the chef made gluten free food to order. Swimming pool was luxurious like getting into a bath. Located in a good position with a Mall close by.

Wah Taj
I stayed with my family for 3 days at Taj Connemara. It was one of our most memorable stays till date in a true global context. Food and dining was truly commendable with a fantastic buffet spread which is serviced by a very courteous and professional team. Special thanks for all the hot South Indian delicacies from the live station. It is a heritage hotel with separate wings based on Indian, Colonial and Oriental themes which is very well curated. Overall it was an amazing stay and kudos to the Taj team. Wah Taj.!!

It was great to stay at a historic landmark hotel that is maintained to the highest standards. The staff is exceptionally efficient, courteous and helpful. The breakfast and lunch options were simply outstanding. Being centrally located right on mount road it was easy to get around to other places in the city. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful hotel and enjoy your Chennai trip.
