I seriously suggest not to opt this place for the stay. Its a waste of money. Totally dis-satisfied.May be before lockdown the hotel might have good reviews but after corona unlock it was disgusting.Poor communication by an elderly person at reception, he is very aggressive and rude with the customers. He has no decision making rights and need to call even for a small information and permission. The person who know all procedures and having rights was not available at the desk.Room door do not lock properly from both inside and outside, small room with no proper ventilation, small washroom, shower did not work, no bucket and mug available when shower did not work, some lights did not work at all, bulbs are with very dim lighting, hot water kettel is not available, no packs of tea, coffee and milk powder as they said these will be available in the room, no proper food facility at the restaurant, they said restaurant timing is till 10:30 pm, when we called and asked they said it will be till 9 pm.Room service staff and restaurant service staff behaviour was good unlike the elderly person at reception. He must learn from them.Online We booked 2 rooms with double occupancy in each room, for 2000/- each room (totally 4 persons and 4000)-).We also verified visiting offline. The person who show-cased us the rooms also said the same like each room is double occupancy and each room worth 2000/-.We felt it was fine as online and offline were with same prices.Moreover the main reason to opt this place is, its very near to our purpose of visit and at main road with all facilities.So we preferred this place though the rating was 3 star.Really saying we stayed 1 hr in the reception and person in the reception was arguing with us saying online and offline procedures are different and he cannot go with online booking and we should go with offline procedure it seems.He said One room with singel occupancy and 2000/- worth. So 4 persons, 4 rooms, 8000/-. We were completely clueless like whats happening??.How can a same hotel vary with their online and offline procedures??It was disgusting and irritating.They must really workout on this if they want to make this hotel a better place to stay.I seriously suggest not to opt this place for a stay, else you will face your Karma. Be careful.
This place is suitable for people attending the prometric exam centre. Found the place peaceful calm and room service was excellent. They tend to your care immediately.
Go for the executive room , decent price and food, pocket friendly and more importantly neat and clean room and washroom
Thanks you so much Google very important and all public useful very good 👍Thanks & Regards.K.RAJAN
Perfect place to stay for friends and couples , good ameneties , attached with all necessary needs. nearby shopping mall forum mall , good location its in kodambakkam Chennai city centre great place to stay on
Value for money hotelNicely locatedGood homely staff...sometimes a bit lost..neatness & maintenance can improve
No good amount of choice for food available. Very limited choice. Quality need to be improved.
Food is so so. Very cost centric attitude.
The photo represent the opposite apartment to brownstar Hotel dont get confused
Nice ambienceApt location to choose if youre appearing for an Prometric exam.
The hotel in located on main road. check in hassle free. At reception Mr. Raj is a gentleman. they hv own resturant veg nonveg both availble till 11 pm. rooms are spaceious. the only issue is bathrooms are little small and not much cleaned.service is prompt. overall nice and good exp. Thanks Brownstar.will visit again.
Very nice
Nice feel. Courteous Staff. Professionally managed. Food is great both North and South Indian.Roon size is just about enough. You will feel good staying here. Perfect. for someone coming to the Prometric centre obviously.
Appearance is deceptive..that holds true here. Non existent services. Night time DJ music disturbance.. horrible.little space within the room and outside as well. Surprisingly small double bed. Electric water kettle was broken. House keeping number goes unanswered a number of times. No breakfast before 7.30 am even when youre leaving for catching the flight at 7 am and requesting them to provide fruits or whatever is ready. Very ridiculous. No value for money paying ..plus for a day. Never stayed in such a hotel.
Good hotel and good service and service person in ashok as good person
Centrally located in Ashok Nagar. Only three cars can park. But Valet parking available. Small rooms. Smaller wash rooms. Clean. Reasonably ok service. Staff training ok. Coffee never hot unless you physically force the cook. You don’t get food in this hotel and have to step out but many joints close by. 40 mints from airport. No fans only ac and it takes a looong time to cool. So if you expect to rush in from the heat into a cool room this is not the place. Pleasant staff
The hotel is in good location with in city with good connectivity options.The main problem was the internet and wifi as it was not working for 1 whole day of my 3 days stay and after that also it was very very slow even for the normal browsing and checking emails.the breakfast needs to be improved in variety as well as taste.Parking is an issue as there is parking only for max of 4 cars in front of the lobby ,even though there is vallet parking assistance is there they too park only in the opposite side of the road .rooms are neat and well furnished.The reception female staff in the front desk mannerism,body language and way of talking sometimes make us think that she is doing a favour by making us stay there. I think she needs to be trained keeping in mind that this is a hospitality industry and we are guests.
Good ambiance
Good Resident, but whatever eatables available in room are not complementary. Ask before you pick those. Otherwise its wonderful Rooms
Room is pretty good and comfy. food is average but not that bad. since it is inside city some rooms might not have windows. other than that if u r looking for budget stay this is perfect for that.
The hotel overall is very good. No complaints on that part. But the lady at the reception by the name Ms. Priya somehow happened to be very tough and rude. The day of our check out, we were out and shopping a little. She called us up on our mobile and asked us - Where are you? I am calling up the room and nobody is picking up.. At least that is very unpleasant.. There were many more questions like this from her. She was somehow behind us to ensure we check out on time and there is no delay. I would really appreciate if somebody more pleasant and pleasing handles that part of the reception.
Good value for money hotel, facing centinial square in kodambakkam. Lots of good food joints near by including both veg and non veg options..Room service and free breakfast are good and hygienic. The gentleman serving eggs in the breakfast really makes you feel at home and serves you with a smile - Peps you up for a day!
Nice place, Its a compact hotel, the rooms are good for a couple and three might feel crammed up a bit. The best part of it would be Big Bang Theory Its one of the citys best hang outs in terms of live music and good food. Fairly priced alcohol and not too noisy in there compared to many other places.
Centrally located, neat and clean rooms, effective AC, very good staff. Very clean linen. Value for money
Booked the party hall for a birthday party. The hall was on the top most floor of the building. They have only one lift. The food was a buffet offered by their sister concern, Big Bang Theory restaurant, which is located in the same building. The food was fantastic. Amazing work in terms hospitality by the hotel staff for elderly guests. Top it all the rent was reasonable.
Id a great experience here. Last Sunday we did naming ceremony function for my little princess. Good ambience, excellent food arrangement, pioneering in other services too. Thanks to Brown Star Hotel Manager, he was the person cooperated very well.
Very Good Hotel Staff And Coordinator
Very neat and tidy.. limited breakfast option though. Location perfect
Reasonable costing for party in the range of 20 to 25 persons.. food quality also good..
The boutique hall is good for small functions or get-togethers. The buffet was good compared to other halls. But there is limited parking space available.
Quite good place , budget that fits everyone... Parking area must have to be expanded has it doesnt have enough space when theres 5+ cars, restaurant is not tastier but good for a day , bar is one of best in surroundings ... Meetings halls are got for a meeting with 50 persons .... Personal rooms good though bathrooms are cleaned regularly , people working here are friendly .... Overall good for buissness stays and not good for personal stay...
Good place to stay. great good location. there will be noise from pub on the ground floor.
Went there to enquire about banquet halls. I was made to wait in the reception area for ten minutes. Then a boy, who seemed not to care much for anything in the world, showed me the hall. He was non committal in responses, didnt know much about the questions I asked. Then, on the way down, he took me to the first floor, made me wait a few minutes and then just abandoned me. After waiting a few minutes, I just went back to the reception. The top management were very cordial and excellent, though.
Stayed here for two days. It was good. I thought it stinked due to some drainage leak in the morning but it is not so bad rest of the day.
Safety for all couples... Service was good.. For couples this is most best option.. Neat and clean in room and toilets..
I regularly have my monthly team meeting at Hotel Brown star for almost one year . Food is excellent. Staff are polite and helpful. Overall Service is good. The hall is good and excellent AC.
The breakfast was amazing and fulfilling. Whatever problems we had were resolved by the management. They arranged us for a cab when our Ola was cancelled. We stayed only for a night but it was good.
Specious rooms with enough ventilation....Food is too good especially for West & north Indian traveler ..Staff is supportive & responding ...
Good Hotel and Hall. Food was Excellent and Outstanding!Parking was bit of a problem, dont worry they have valet parking facility. But your vehicle will be parked in adjacent buildings they own
The stay was good and comfortableThe food was amazing especially the BreakfastThe staff were kind and helpful
Nice Hotel
They dont have top/over-head showers. The room that I stayed had only hand shower. The receptionists told me that they have only hand showers in all the rooms. It was a hassle to adjust the hand shower for the right height and right temperature. Breakfast buffet could have much more local variety and need to be refilled quickly. Otherwise, the executive room was comfortable.
Good hotel to stay bit expensive around 2000INR per day.. For those appear exams in prometric centre this is a good choice as centre is directly opposite to the hotel.. Room service is good and staff also very nice.. Have a restaurant within serves good food(2019 dec)I did a second visit on september 20-22 2021 so initially i was allotted a room which doesnt have cooling for AC later I was shifted to another roomThe WiFi connection speed is 20 Mbps which is poor they should definitely improve the speed to 50 or 100 for the charges they charge
Hotel Was Good At Stay And Rooms.. Breakfast was awesome. There were problem of hot water in the room.
Average ambiance. prime location. good for bachelors.
It does not deserve any star. If there is provision of giving minus star, I would really give maximum minus. At present I am staying here. It is just terrible. I wish someone speaks to me and ask my concerns. Will never recommend. Yes only the housekeeping is very polite that is the only positive.
Budget hotel with up to mark cleanliness. Located in the centre of Chennai with tourist places 20 to 30 minutes away in normal traffic condition.Complimentary breakfast is good.
Stay was good and rooms were clean.. but the person in the reception messing up with the bills.. she is asking more money bluntly, saying it as tax. if we ask Bill, she blinking and confusing
Its simple and neetly maintained, for small functions like birthday parties small party hallis available here, hall is little small but maintained neetly, food veg and non veg both available. Food quality is Okay.
Wow!!One of the best banquet hall with mouth lickering food spread in nearby locality of Ashok Nagar and Kodambakkam area. Very affordable and nice staff.
Good service.
Nice stay. Hygiene levels are up to mark. Breakfast needs serious improvement
Note that theres a difference between the room they give you when booking through OYO, and the direct reservation (obviously, the latter is costlier). The room service is really good. The rooms are fairly comfortable. The reception service can be okay to awful. I stayed a whole week, but never had got water for showers :(
Good experience
Attended a company meeting. Initially, the AC was not working. Projector was bad.Food quality was poor.Lift / elevator carrying people to the 4th floor is avoidable as the door was not closing properly and not more than 3 persons can get inside in one trip
Rooms are good but the service is slow. Breakfast @ buffet is good especially because of the courteous staff serving.
The quality of food is good. The service is fast and the staff is polite. Good place to hang out with friends.
Rooms are really cozy. Foods are decent,though there was a delay in breakfast other services had no flaws.Satisfied.
The North Indian food was good.No covered parking, so if u go during lunch - getting back into your car may feel like getting into a sauna
Good place for lodging at Kodambakkam. Very accomodative, there needs to be good amount of security for customers who use the lodging facility.
Worst service at Banquet hall. Lift is the pathetic of all only 2 persons accommodate in it. Service area is so pathetic that you wish the function was not yours. No coordination if management plans to keep it chaotic then i dont see any business that will repeat.
It was nice staying in the hotelit is located at the center of the city will love to stay again
Nice and cozy place. Space is a little less though. Excellent hospitality
Nice hotel rooms as like images available in Google site. complimentary breakfast was good and dinner also nice but little costly. good hospitality in the reception, room service .
One of my fav spot in Samiyar madam, good service and a neat location.
Suitable for corporate customers not for them who is looking for activities in Goa..its far from any known beaches..good food ..good clean room.My 4th stay in this hotel and I will come back
This is the one of the standard hotels available in Ambedkar road however there is huge scope for improvement. You will be ok staying here but the value for money could be improved.
Neat, clean, good food, good ambience. But no toilet or bath facility for your driver. We had to book a room for him in another lodge. Parking is an issue
Breakfast not good. Toilet choked up and kt made to shift to another room.
Nice and comfortable stay in this hotel. The price is affordable and the hotel is very convenient.
Good clean rooms, ordinary breakfast, has a night club & good customer service. Value for money if you get online deals.
The hotel location is very pause. It is the best place to stay if your GRE centre is Prometric, which is just opposite to the hotel.
Stayed there for 3 days, service was prompt. The room was clean and the furnitures were not bad. Breakfast spread nothing special actually its was the same for all 3 days that i stayed.X
Called the hotel for a bulk booking. The lady rep took my call, put me on hold and was talking on the other line regarding her personal issue. I was kept on hold for 4 mins and i cut the call. I booked 10 rooms at another hotel. if this is how a customer is treated on the first call, then what will be the real scenario if we book the room. Please stay away.
The rooms were really good. Enjoyed the stay there. Worth the money.
Front Desk: 1 Star ( Rude )Room Service: 0 StarI had starve for hours finally to know that they have forgotten my order. Didnt even care to apologize.Food: 3 Star ( Decent and Hygienic )Buffet: 1 star ( a small room with idly and dosas)Think twice before booking.
Over priced, Faulty furnitures and equipments. House keeping is pathetic. There where even bed begs on bed.
Ambience is not good. rooms are congested. very less spread in complimentary breakfast. dining is very small.
It was nice stay ! The hotel is clean & neat. The only problem is dinner is served till 10:30 pm. Make it 11:30 pm if possible.
Nice and clean rooms...at entrance there is pub...do go u will fill relaxed...food is available
Had a very good stay for 3 days at the hotel.Excellent staff.
Location is between OK and good. Food is average. Rooms are good.
Nice hotel and food also gud. Gud service. Friendly staff
Located in kodambakkam(powerhouse) very convenient locations coming to room its medium-sized well maintained in ground-floor resto come bar big bang theory pub
Food is not good... hotel is good. Service also okay. But I dont like the food taste.
Pretty nice hotel , good ambience , could use a larger lift though 😶😑
NEVER EVER BOOK this hotel if you are looking for even a decent place to stay. The hotel staff is unprofessional and unreliable.Even after booking on make my trip and confirming the day ahead, the room was not given and they tried to shift us to some serive apartment and a low grade hotel.They shifted us to some low grade hotel which was not even clean. You will be mentally tortured as to why you booked this hotel.The receptionist is unreasonable and has no professional quality.
Centrally located. Breakfast is decent. Some emineties have become old and needs renovation.........
Very good.
Over rated old place by the road side, with open to road parking (safe?). Average food, poorly ventilated toilet. Noisy road.
This hotel room is very small. May be fit for a solo traveller , that too not convenient. Service quality in the breakfast hall is poor. Food varieties also minimum.
Nice Homely place. Well connected with Major roads
Very old fashioned. But food was good.
Calling the hotel several times on both numbers, for an enquiry. Someone picks up and immediately hangs up the phone. May be he/she is frustrated with his/her job. Better stay away from this damn hotel!!!!
Clean and contemporary with good service. On the down side the ground floor hosts a pub so be ready for some pounding music on weekends.
Good space for small birthday parties, food sevred as well was good, parking limited space for cars
Good hotel.Costly food.Ideal for staying for tourists
