FabExpress Santhi Inn
This is my 5th stay at this hotel and I favour this because the location is very nearby all attraction points and most importantly walk friendly. The guy who makes breakfast and serves is very courteous and welcoming, as I was being late and it was time to check out he made it all the way to my room and served me wonderful dosa considering I'm in a hurry and may miss it. The rooms are clean and everything works well, just a point which could be improved that is lighting should be more and bright and the charging points need to be increased otherwise no issues. Will come again..

FabHotel Yagna Residency
Service of the staff was just exceptional - from the manager to the restaurant staff to the reception, everyone went out of their way to be helpful and attentive. Small gestures such as helping with calling a Doctor, or checking on needs of our children showed a genuine interest from the staff in being helpful. For example, the food had not been prepared as expected and the staff immediately replaced the item with an alternate without anything.
