My stay at Le Royale Meridian had its ups and downs. The location was great, close to the historical part of town and the golf of Bengal, but the noise from rickshaws and construction made it less peaceful. The service was a mix of warmth at Cilantro and some lapses in attention to detail. The dining experience had its highlights but also areas needing improvement.

The hotel had a great location in the historical part of town, close to the Gulf of Bengal. The rooms were dark and creepy with a cigarette smoke smell, lacking cleanliness. The staff, particularly Mr Maran's team, was friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was very good, with innovative and well-balanced options. The price was worth it, considering the great staff and location.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with good carpet comfort but needs renovation. The service was wonderful and welcoming, with attentive staff, but there were delays due to shortages. The location is very convenient, near Chennai airport and historical sites, though cleanliness could be improved. The dining experience exceeded expectations with a good spread of veg and non-veg dishes. The facilities were good overall.

The rooms were not very clean, with dirty, stained carpet, a lousy bed, and unclean linen. However, they were comfortable. The service was a mix of being well-behaved and genuinely friendly, although there was an issue when the shift changed without informing about my wife. The location was convenient, close to a Metro station and the airport. The dining experience was a disappointment with very few selections. There were some activities available in the lawn. Overall, the hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives.
