Affordable Serviced Apartments in Chennai

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

One more best answer : Hostels in Sholinganallur (OMR / Rajiv Gandhi Road)

PlaceToStay.in is proud to have provided one more best answer (at Yahoo Answers) for people searching for hostels. This time for a question by Pramod S, who was interested in Hostels near Wipro in Sholinganallur, the answer given by PlaceToStay.in was voted as the best answer.

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.

More Hostel and PG entries added for Chennai

Was working on a few enhancements in PlaceToStay.in (including support for a secure-code based authorization for editing individual entries) and also in populating more data. Now the number of entries has increased from just 10 entries (all in Velachery) to reach the 50 entries mark.

The Map of Hostels, PG, Serviced Apartments in Chennai looks better now. Probably, I will make the map view as default, so as to avoid the need for sorting and the resultant indexing problems.

By increasing the entries, I was able to answer a few questions, like..
