When we arrived at RR Mount Elite Suites after a 6 hour train journey, which should have only been 4 hours, and being mobbed by auto rickshaw drivers at Egmore Train Station, we were desperate for some peace and calm. First impressions of the area the hotel was located in were not great - it is surrounded by auto spares businesses. However as soon as we stepped out of the lift any concerns we may have had disappeared. The reception area is clean and modern and the team are welcoming. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a twin room and the beds were really comfortable. There was loads of space to store stuff, so we could keep our room tidy. There was a kettle to make tea and coffee plus a big work top and extra sink, which I guess would be helpful if you wanted to order food deliveries. We had 2 chairs and a coffee table which were useful for sitting watching TV in the evening. The room had a smart TV and we were able to watch a movie on Amazon Prime. Air con and fans were efficient and welcome after the heat of Chennai. Bathroom was spacious and had a great shower with plenty of hot water. Location may not be in the prettiest area of Chennai but it is easy to get around with auto rickshaws. Added bonus is the Express Mall, just a 10 minute walk from hotel. Lots of shops, Smart Bazaar supermarket, some restaurants and a food court. The hotel was also quiet at night so we were able to sleep well. All in all we really enjoyed our 5 night stay. Big thank you to Krishna and the team for looking after us. Highly recommended.
