Taj Coromandel (A Taj Hotel)

No complaints - the rooms are very comfortable the restaurants very good, chinese, indian, italian and hotel al a carte / buffet. Not cheap but food generally very good. I found the leisure complex very good, gym,sauna, steam room, tropical/mist showers - all very clean with exceptional levels of customer service. If you want an adventure, wonder outside the hotel main gate and you will find a couple of auto-rickshaw guys who will take you around!!

When I'm traveling here in the States, I'm a Motel 6 type of guy so getting to stay here on business for a number of weeks was overwhelming. They have so many staff members it made my headspin. Guy opens car door, guy opens hotel door, desk personnel greet you, guy opens the elevator for you...it was over the top for me, but in a good way. The room service was great too. Anything you wanted. My mini bar refrigerator wasn't working properly and that got fixed within minutes. It was crazy. You can't really walk anywhere easily though...but that seems par for the course. There is a little grocery store about a five minute walk that has anything you need if you wanted to stock up on some snacks. The power does go off for a minute at most every afternoon, but that seems to be the norm. That Chinese restaurant and Indian restaurant are awesome. Try the hot and sour soup. I didn't get a chance to eat at the Italian one. And the nightclub is cool. Apparently there's often actors and actress from Indian films there...but I wouldn't recognize them so I took peoples word for it. And the laundry is great too. I'd get my shirts sent back all folded and wrapped up with cardboard. My NASCAR shirt getting the royal treatment always brought a smile to my face. And the remote where you can control the lights and the curtains from the bed was awesome too.

Hotel is little far from airport around 45 mts. But public transport is easily available. Walking distance to all eating joints and 15 mts malls city center and skywalk.great pool and gym .rooms are spacious. There South Indian is very expensive but coffee shop is great.. Buffet is very lavish.no free wifi

We happened to stay for 2 nights at Taj Coromandel last week. It was a pleasant stay and was most convenient owing to its location at the Nungambakkam High Road. The security arranangements were too much as some of the IPL teams were staying there. I guess, we spotted a few players, but couldn't recoginize any as we are not much into cricket. We stayed in a luxury room. The room was a little small compared to the other Taj properties we have tried in the past. Could be because of its location. The bathroom was really spacious and the tub was quite spacious too. My son had a good time in the tub. The diwan setup by the bay window was good. For some reason, the mattress was not so comfortable unless you are at the middle of the bed. We tried Nasi Goreng and Chicken Satay for a dinner. It was exquisite! The breakfast spread at Anise was really extensive and we particularly liked the museli and the danish. I mostly tried the south indian breakfast. The pongal was rich and the vada was soft too. They had this onion oothappam whih turned out to be a disaster. I was surpised they couldn't make a good onion oothappam in chennai. Both the days, there was a little excess of tamarind in the sambar and the chilli chutney was a little sweet. The green chutney was perfect. Their egg dosa needs a special mention. They have this cutting chai, which is an imitation of the nair shop tea :) It was no where close to the real cutting chain.. too creamy. The filter coffee was divine and was lingeing in the buds for quite sometime. The kind of personal attention we got is worth mentioning. The way they understand your likes in the first day and offer everything based on your likes is amazing. As always, the hospitality was wondrtful

Whenever we go to chennai, the restaurants in this hotel is a must visit, especially the coffee shop which never fails to impress with its delicious food ,both western and indian.we however, had a rather disappointing experience at the golden dragon, where the ambience was lovely but,unfortunately the food did not match the steep prices of the dishes.we ordered crabmeat soup, a pork dish, fried rice and a chicken dish,for which we got pork with peanuts (we did mention my son was allergic),the chicken and pork had exotic flavours , but did not quite satisfy my eager for indo Chinese taste buds.i have eaten at this place, frequently, in the old days, with ginger chicken to die for and the best shark fin soup, batter fried prawns and tasty rice and noodle dishes.the food is beautifully cooked with the freshest ingredients, but like isaid earlier , too exotic for my taste.It would be nice to see some of the old faves back on the menu. I must also mention that the chef made a real boo,boo, when he smothered our crab soup with spring onions, whiched ruined this delicate soup beyond recognition.
