YWCA International Guest House Chennai

Good meals. Light, fresh and homecooked. Rooms remind me of an old fashioned guesthouse of years gone by but with Wifi & airconditioning. Walking paths inside the compound. Staff is very responsive. Relaxing, close to train stations and transport. It is has an aura of another time. Pleasant and comfortable. Photos taken minutes before the review.

Bed wasn't clean, TV wasn't working, sheet had food on them but bathroom was clean. I have visited a lot of hotels and resorts, I wouldn't consider this a 3 star hotel it's just a guest house. Only good things are the proactive staff and the fact that it's in Chennai central. Lastly only some of the photos online are up to date.

Since 2017, I have been a customer of this place. In 2025, I stayed for one day in Room 119, and to my surprise, the place had become both more expensive (close to Rs 3500) and run-down. The ceiling was falling apart, with debris scattered on the floor and inside the commode. The kettle was dirty, and no cups were provided. Telephone’s not working. The hospitality and service were poor. This is not the YWCA I once knew and stayed in. It’s sad to see its decline.

A great and safe place to stay. The food feels just like homemade meals. Conveniently located near the railway station, making travel easy. The staff is very helpful, and laundry facilities are available. Breakfast is included, and lunch and dinner can be ordered three hours in advance. The meals are served in a buffet system, but there's also an option to order from a separate menu. The stay includes toiletries such as soap, shampoo, and a dental kit. The room is equipped with a kettle, water bottle, and tea/coffee powder for added convenience. Highly recommend for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Good Rooms, calm and peaceful surroundings with trees and greenary. With ample car parking very near to Chennai Egmore Railway Station/Egmore Metro station

Located near metro station, a very safe place for women to stay. Service is good. Food is also very homely and tasty. Rooms are clean and well maintained. We had a great stay here

The breakfast is very good, and the aircon and shower worked. And the grounds are spacious and back from the road. But the service is poor, almost nonexistent. Had to work quite hard for every teabag, bottle of water, toilet paper roll, room servicing etc. The staff are mostly quite happy to take your money and make very little effort to be friendly or helpful. An inexplicably busy and overpriced place!

Short stay of 1 day in the family room which was spacious and clean. The bathroom door needs a better lock. Had lunch, dinner, coffee, and breakfast. Decent food. Quiet staff. We didn't have too much demands. We needed a rejuvenating and quiet stay, which we got, thank God. Met friends at a church event on campus and did a quick purchase at ELS book store. Great location.
