Pathetic property at this rate
Room size was like a cellar, roofs and walls were all stained. TV was hanging in an oblique direction.
Lights were not working, electricity repair guy came after complain.
Breakfast and dinner was also very very average.

My stay at GINGER IITM RP-TARAMANI
The stay was good, comfortable, homely under quite friendly atmosphere. It's more of an informal type. I loved it. The ambience was good.
Though the girls at Reception were under training, Nikhil was good, intelligent and very cooperative. Good material for you.

Fridge did not work. Power went off but they could not restore. They gave me another room, which has broken tiles and two twin beds. Inconvenient and poor standards for the cost

Better upkeep required
The rooms was comfortable but the phone did not work in the room. The TV too wasn't working and i got the technician to come in and fix it. Housekeeping needs to do a thorough check to ensure gadgets are working in the room to avoid inconvenience to the customer.

Basically the hotel is very near to IIT Madras.
The stay at the Hotel was very pleasing. But only one problem I faced was regarding room service. When Buffet time is going on the room service is not given. I will suggest that parallelly the room service should be on. Recently I faced the same. I wanted snack to have but the room service refused to give accept coffee. Rest every thing was fine.

Great staff, 5 star breakfast/supper buffet
Wonderful, cheerful, satisfying, comfortable, happy are all words to describe my stay at the hotel. The staff went out of their way to insure my comfort and satisfaction. The food served at both the breakfast and supper buffet was 5 star, the best of south Indian cuisine. The wait staff at the buffet were also 5 star, constantly observing and answering your need before it was voiced. The front desk personnel were always friendly and smiling even though they and I could not communicate properly at times. The room was comfortable, cool and had a wonderful view of the city. Housekeeping was on a daily basis and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful at every turn, trying their best to make me happy and comfortable. All things considered, I would not hesitate to stay at the Ginger Hotel at Tidel Park again. My 24 days there were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Small. Bad room service
The whole hotel is just one floor of the research park. Power kept going off and the wi-fi was flaky at best. Stay tried their best to help but there experience was not good especially considering there price.
The room was small. Window was tiny and the room service was OK at best.
The towels were not soft and they gave just one towel?!

Very close to tril
Hi
Given the room rates. The hotel is a decent return for your money just for the location. It's proximity to ramanujan IT city is the big plus. The room and facilities are on par for a budget hotel. But definitely clean. The rooms are on the top floor so the lift takes a long time. The staff are friendly. Overall I rate as a 3.5 but only for biz travellers

Not worth the money...
1. Location: Out skirts. Only good for people who have some work in nearby locations. Else it's highly avoidable. Better go for Ginger Vadapalani.
2. Breakfast: No complimentary breakfast!! I paid 3k for a room and you can't offer complimentary breakfast!! You need to learn from the competition.
3. Rooms: Too small and not comfy. Next to my room there was a storeroom!! No view at all.. It was such a big big let down. Good thing was that I only went there back in night to sleep.
4. Food: No lunch service. You have to call nearby hotels for that. Really!!
5. Hotel surroundings: It is located on 11th floor of a big building and has 84 rooms. Too dense for a hotel and there is only 1 lift available. Only 1 lift!!
6. Bathrooms: Ok. Ok. No bathing kit. No dental kit.
7. Power cuts. Meter tripping. All happened.
8. Overall rating: 1/5
My last stay there for sure.

Hotel was nice, the staff was excellent and the service was great, BUT there was heavy construction going in right next to the hotel building. The construction noise was annoying till late night and early morning.

Budget Unentertaining Hotel
Ginger Hotel is very ordinary hotel and does not justify the cost. Room Stay might give u a feel that at $30-35 cost, you would get all amenities like air-conditioning, television, good bed but unfortunately things are not maintained & even services are not available. Facilities are there but on self serve basis
