Mary Meridien Lodge

The bed was awful. My body and hair itched nonstop after lying down, and the covers didn’t seem to have been washed. Noise came straight through the thin walls, so every conversation, thud, and nearby door closing could be heard and felt. The room was tiny, only 8x8x9 feet, with a low-hanging fan that could catch your fingers if you raised your hands by accident. There was a little wooden cupboard on the left, a small single bed on the right, plus a TV and an alright bathroom with a small soap and towel provided. My single non-a/c room cost 560 rupees a night, with another 500 rupees held as a refundable charge and returned in cash after the stay. It was on the 4th floor, but the very old lift only went to the 3rd. The place is just across from Gandhipuram bus stand. I’d only suggest it for one guest who needs somewhere to store belongings and freshen up. If you want comfort, this isn’t the place.

There was so little room that I could barely move, and I had nowhere to put my bags or clothes. Noise was the biggest problem: every conversation and door slam from the neighboring rooms came through loudly. I left disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay.

The staff behaved terribly, and the hotel was very poorly maintained. I wouldn’t consider it safe for families. Don’t come here.

Affordable for a one-day stay, and I had a good experience.
