Clean hotel. However, it would be better if they offer valet parking. Also, checking in was difficult as there was a very loud event happening in the adjacent cafe.

Never again

I stayed at this hotel recently and had one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a hotel. I had arranged in advance for a taxi pickup at night from the airport and to my surprise—and complete dismay—no one showed up. This is something I’ve never experienced before in all my years of traveling and booking airport transfers through hotels. At that hour, when options are limited and you rely on the hotel’s promise, this level of negligence is simply unacceptable.

So after 1 hour ,I immediately call to to reception they said no items are found in room .Actually I’m also a hotelier ,but I didn’t expect this kind of things in this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The worst stay I’ve ever had in my entire life was at Ibis sipcot. They have the worst customer service. I ask for a towel and then send it after an hour:We changed our room because the AC wasn’t working well in the first one and the second room was horrible as well. They also had stains on the bathroom countertop. There was no refrigerator in the second room and they placed it for us after 2 hours of placing the request. Room service food was horrible. It tasted very bad and was overpriced for the quality and quantity. Overall, I don’t have one positive experience during my stay at Ibis!

Pretty good for the location

Booked this place for my In-laws many of them visiting Chennai for the 1st time. A good place to stay as its close enough to Chennai Airport and Besant Nagar/Adyar but also halfway towards Mahabalipuram which they wanted to visit for a long time. Hotel is in quite good condition and service was good though nothing to write home about. Surroundings are not to bad, but SIPCOT is an industrial/SEZ type of location so it is what it is.
