We had a wonderful stay at Taj. Travelling down from Sydney, we had a convenient pick up from the airport. The staff were very friendly and the service was amazing. Sakshi at the front desk and Yuvraj at the Verandah were amazing to deal with and we were looked after really well. Would love to stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Taj Connemara! The staff were all super friendly and soooo accommodating. It seemed like nothing was too much of an ask. The property had a grand British colonial feel about it. I’d say it’s historic but not dated. Really nice pool. Gym could be bigger but it was adequate (and better than most hotels). I lift regularly and was able to get a decent workout in. Good choice of eateries inside the hotel walls. Breakfast buffet was great - special call out to Shaji who always kept the coffee coming & made our stay special! Highly recommended - I’d happily stay again

#Pleasant Stay at Taj Connemara - A Solid Choice I recently stayed at Taj Connemara and had a very good experience overall. The hotel met my expectations in several areas and provided a comfortable base for my trip. ## Highlights: 1. **Staff**: The staff were friendly and professional. They were helpful when I had questions or requests. Attentive towards our 9 month old baby. Special mention to Hari & Nithu at morning breakfast 'Verandah'. 2. **Room**: My room was clean and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable, which allowed for restful nights. Chong at housing keeping did a marvelous job. 3. **Amenities**: The hotel offers useful amenities. I particularly appreciated the spa and the pool. 4. **Location**: The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to access various parts of the city. Overall, I had a positive experience at Taj Connemara. It provided good value for the price and met most of my needs. I would consider staying here again on future visits to the area.

My favourite stay when I’m in Madras. The iconic old world charm is only accentuated by friendly staff who remember you even after a whole year. Shaji, Yuvaraj, Kaliyaperumal and the manager (tall young man) I forget his name! Shout out to you all!!! Note to self- next time must get the restaurant manager’s name!!

During my stay there was a power outage in the morning when I was in business call. When I checked with front office they replied weirdly saying it’s Normal power fluctuation. I didn’t expect this from a 5 star reputed hotel. Please maintain the standard & reputation and treat each customer as VVIP.
