Hotel / pick-up in Madras

Atman · Feb 6th, 2008, 04:13

Hi all!!
The 20th of march I arrive in Madras at 01:40 at night.
Does anyone know if there is a good hotel (not too expensive!), with quite a good service, where they can pick you up at the airport (at night!)?

peace

irrespective of the hotel, you can take a "Pre-Paid" taxi from the Airport. These taxi's will drop you off at the hotel for reasonable amounts. Tipping the driver will give you great service as well.

Depending on your budget you can select a hotel.

You can book a Hotel in mamallapuram. There are so many budget Hotel. I can suggest Hotel Mahabs. Email : mahabstours@gmail.com. They do provide transfers. The hotel will cost Rs.2000/- per night and the transfer will be Rs.1200/-. Mamallapuram is 60 kms away from Chennai rush city.

...thus missing out on Chennai altogether, and beginning your visit here with a one-hour-plus car drive.

I'd advise against that. But more information would be useful, and an indication of your budget is necessary before anyone can give any recommendations.

most of the hotels dat do pickups are luxury hotels but u can get a prepaid taxi dats reasonably inexpensive..

That is not right: almost any hotel, or guesthouse even, will arrange a pickup for you. Just the luxury one's might throw it in free.

Hash, please do avoid the SMS; u, dat, dats, are hard for our non-English members to understand, and oldies like me have to think about it!
