Very very bad room and stinking rooms
Horrible experience - I booked the club room - the room was stinking. Beds and linen was in horrible condition full of stains. The front desk staffs are lousy and non-responsive, they are not professionally managed. The cost is too high for the quality and standard maintained by the hotel. We are asked to wait for an hour in the corridor while the housekeeping crew was cleaning the room - entirely washing the room with water !!! the dampness in the room made me sick and I have to pay a hefty bill for the doctor.

Ambiga Empire Reception left a bad taste
The stay would have been much better if the hotel reception personell weren't in a hurry to get rid of us. we extended our stay and they showed no patience. Insted they kept calling us to see if we can come down and pay immedietely. Breakfast closed early. no wakeup call was given when asked. When Do not Disturb was on they still call you. Laundry and Car are too expensive here.

Poor choice for the price
Fresh paint stink on the floor and in the room. Poorly made bed. No exhaust in the toilet. Toilet door did not close well and had a big gap which let the stink come into the room.

Noisy location
In front of hote is a very noisy road which is now under constraction (this is almost in all town the case). Web presentation locks impressiv but it is only cheap kitsch. Housekeeping staff always closes the curtains and switch on the light - simple reason for this: windows are increadible dirty!

Dejlig roligt hotel midt i det hektiske Chennai
Alt i alt var det et rart sted at opholde sig. Der var rent og pænt, og personalet var meget flinke og hjælpsomme, og var kun interesseret i at hjælpe os, så vi kunne have nogle perpekte dage, hvad vi også havde. Eneste minus var, at hotellet ikke havde helt styr på deres bogholderi. De påstod, at de ikke havde modtaget penge fra Hotel.com, og ville have os til at afregne med dem. Trådene blev udredet efter et opkald til Hotel.com, som dog kostede os 217 kr.

思ったほど満足できないホテル
バスルームにゴキブリがいた、換気がない。 アメニティーグッズはあまりない。　バスタオルしかない。ハンドタオルを頼んだら洗濯をしているから　ないと言われた。 場所は汚い、近くには買い物する所はない。 朝食はまあまあ、夜のルームサービスの食事はおいしかった。

John, Portland, OR

mostly as advertised
The breakfast is good Indian fare. Pretty much everything was good except two things: -- I couldn't get wireless to work on my Mac, and neither could their IT staff -- I had to book an airport cab and was told I could not do it on the phone even though while talking to them on the phone they confirmed my reservation. I had to do it over email.
