Serviced Apartments combine the advantages of a short-stay hotel rooms with that of rental residential apartments.

Also known as Apartment Hotels / Guest Houses, Serviced Apartments offer fully furnished residential units on a daily, weekly or monthly rental basis. The cost of renting a service apartment is usually lesser than renting of hotel rooms, but provides comparable facilities and a much larger space.

A typical Serviced Apartment in Chennai would have facilities like air-conditioned bed-rooms, fully equipped kitchens, refrigerators, internet (broadband/wifi), in-house catering, gym, LCD/plasma TVs, DVD players, home theatre, washing machines / laundry services, geysers and more.

Staying at serviced apartments would be an excellent option for visiting friends/relatives and their families, when they have to make a short stay in the city, probably to combine a function (like marriages) with local site-seeing. These type of accommodation also enjoys patronage from corporate visitors, like executives dropping in for a training / seminar.

PlaceToStay.in has a long List of Serviced Apartments in Chennai, with details like daily/monthly rent. You can use the Map View of all the Service Apartments in Chennai to narrow down on the locality of your choice.

So the next time you are looking for a Serviced Apartment, you know that you can drop by at PlaceToStay.in

Quote from the Yahoo Answers, for the question “Can I get list of hostels for girls and boys in chennai specifically around wipro in Scholliganallur?“

Sholinganallur is a fast developing area, but currently only a few hostels like Sai Mohanashree, Anandham, Chettinadu and Mummiy’s are available.

If you want better choice, you may also consider nearby areas like Thoraipakkam, Velachery, Thiruvanmiyur and Adyar, all of which usually have company-arranged buses plying from (or through) them, to reach offices in OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) / Rajiv Gandhi Road.
