#Pleasant Stay at Taj Connemara - A Solid Choice I recently stayed at Taj Connemara and had a very good experience overall. The hotel met my expectations in several areas and provided a comfortable base for my trip. ## Highlights: 1. **Staff**: The staff were friendly and professional. They were helpful when I had questions or requests. Attentive towards our 9 month old baby. Special mention to Hari & Nithu at morning breakfast 'Verandah'. 2. **Room**: My room was clean and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, which allowed for restful nights. Chong at housing keeping did a marvelous job. 3. **Amenities**: The hotel offers useful amenities. I particularly appreciated the spa and the pool. 4. **Location**: The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to access various parts of the city. Overall, I had a positive experience at Taj Connemara. It provided good value for the price and met most of my needs. I would consider staying here again on future visits to the area.

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.

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.

Lacks attention to detail
Nice hotel but lacking attention to detail for the prices they charge. When we checked in the first room offered to us smelt damp so we asked to change, the second room was located next to a service entrance with dirty washing visible and the view from the balcony of the room was directly into the air con unit. The room we were eventually offered was very nice but the issues experienced were disappointing. Afternoon tea was also included in our package, despite being asked to book a time at check-in the person in the bar serving the afternoon tea seemed surprised to see us. We had to wait half an hour during which we sat in the bar which lights flickering, which the way we’re trying to fix. We did eventually enjoy our two night stay, the staff were all very nice and couldn’t have been more helpful. However we had higher expectations for a Taj hotel.
