During our short trip to Chennai we put up at this hotel
which is centrally located with all adequate facilities at reasonable rates.
The new Woodlands Hotel is one of the
famous hotels established nearly seventy years back by Sri Krishna Rao. Many
temples and offices are just within a radius of five to ten kms from this
hotel. Many cabs and autos are available from this place. Many places of
interest such as Kapaleeswara temple (2 kms), Sri Parthasarathy Swamy temple
(4kms) and Marina Beach (3kms) are very near. Chennai Central Railway Station
is just 6 kms and Chennai International Airport is 16kms away from this hotel.
In this pure
vegetarian three star hotel comprising 175 spacious rooms on four storeys, one
can have a traditional feel along with modern comforts. The spacious hotel premises
with large gigantic trees around create a refreshing atmosphere. There are
different types of rooms like A/C cottages, A/C deluxe Suit, A/C Standard
Rooms, A/C Executive Rooms with varying prices depending on our needs and
luxuries given. The rooms are quite large with facilities like free wifi,
airport shuttle, complimentary breakfast, mini-friz, writing desk, cupboards,
safe deposit locker, T.V. electric kettle, telephone and room service. Every
morning a complementary newspaper is given. Hot water facility is given for
a few hours both in the morning and in the evening. Room service starts at 6.30
a.m. in the morning. But as most of the people in Chennai get up early, room
service may be started at least by 5.30 or 6.00 a.m. in the morning. In the
rooms a writing pad with some stationery material may be kept along with a
questionnaire for feedback from the customers.
