Run by a helpful, on-the-ball team, these comfy, low-key 'serviced apartments' enjoy an attractive flower-filled setting amid Poes Garden's well-heeled homes. Spotless modern rooms are well-equipped with desks, tea/coffee makers and colourful cushions, though some seriously lack light. A multilevel rooftop terrace crowns the building. There's also a less expensive and arguably better located Nungambakkam branch.
