I have pleasant memories of my stay at the New Woodlands Hotel in Chennai. For the last 4 years, I have checked into New Woodlands during the Music Festival season. in December. What attracted me to New Woodlands is its central location and easy access to all the Sabhas. It’s proximity to the Music Academy is a big plus.
Whenever I visited Chennai, I stayed in not so known hotel previously. This time, I thought I will go for the brand name and chose New Woodlands Hotel. It was a nightmarish experience. Absolutely no value for money. They have rooms, with bed sheets and upholstery around 30 years old. They charge a bomb and then provide the least of facilities. They ...

i like because the customer service is really very nice the food are very tasty and very clean that's why i like.
The rooms aren't clean. The customer service is absolutely poor. They did not keep the promise and I had to switch to another hotel because of the unreliable information they provided. I would not recommend that hotel unless it comes for free.
The best feature of this place are the restaurants...Great Food! and in India, I would say, Safe! The service is very good and they keep the rooms and the hotel pretty clean! In India, It means a lot!
I stayed at NW in Oct 06. I found the rooms very clean. I staff generally friendly. The thing you must keep in mind is that this is a hotel that caters to Indian guests. If you want a hotel with all the latest western stuff this may not be the place for you. But if you want to stay like the Indian middle class stays then I think this is a good ...

Don't Trust a Confirmated Reservation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/12/07
I made a booking 6 weeks in advance of my arrival. I reconfirmed my booking prior to departure from the UK. I then re-confirming my reservation at the New Woodlands Hotel at their request 4 more times including once three days before arrival, only to arrive and find that my repeatedly confirmed reservation was not honoured.
Any hotel which ...

Awful hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/12/06
I stayed at this hotel. The room as well as the bath room is not clean at all. I will not recommend this hotel for anybody. The only advantage is it at the city center
Admittedly i just came from a 3-4 star place in Vellore, which is much cheaper. But not impressed with NW. Staff at desk lied about reservations in order to try to get me to take more expensive room. It's a fine place by local standards...in non-AC single, is a plain but clean room, hot water, sitting toilet, TV doesn't work well (but that's not why we're here, is it?).
i stayed there a few times. it's really a great hotel, very cloe to the Music Academy, incredible place to catcjh concerts.. I'll back there in December, Claude
