The vibe in the hostel is very nice. The room is quite simple but clean. The location is good for airport because it is only 20 minutes by car but the city centre is not super near (about 30 minutes).

It was an amazing stay at Hostel Gandhi, and I truly enjoyed every moment there. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm smiles and helpful attitude.

空港から車で約15分とアクセスがとても良いです。 スタッフはとても親切で、ホステル内は常に清潔に保たれています。 エントランスにはコミュニティスペースがあり、部屋以外でもゆったりと過ごすことができます。 広いルーフトップがあり、ヨガをするのにも最適です。 また、キッチンやワークスペースも完備されているため、長期滞在にもおすすめです。

Hostel Gandhi is THE spot if landing in Chennai as a first time or anytime traveler. They were always as supportive and availiable as can be, answering all my questions, cleaning the place and bathrooms everyday, fast wifi and the breakfast lunch and dinners were perfect for my new to India stomach. Highly recomend, you can land here and feel like you can get a few days rest, eat good, have tea, acclimate, ask others at Hostel for needs and insight. Has multiple rooftop access to go chill on....

Ich habe ursprünglich zwei Nächte im Hostel Gandhi gebucht und schnell gemerkt, dass ich länger bleiben möchte. Am Ende waren es fünf Nächte – und ich habe mich hier rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Hostel ist ein herzerwärmender Ort mit entspannter, ehrlicher Atmosphäre. Empfang, Küche und Reinigung sind super organisiert, es gibt sichere Locker und richtig gutes Essen.Ein besonderes Highlight sind die Menschen hier. Bobby ist Tourguide, und ich kann ihn nur empfehlen!

Gemütliches Hoste! einige Reisende bleiben dort länger wodurch es sich sehr vertraut anfühlt. Vor allem die Gemeinschaftbereiche sind super und die Gegend ist total interessant zu erkunden. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich

Very much enjoyed my stay. Friendly vibe from both guests and staff. Located quite close to the airport and in a place which shelters it from a lot of the traffic noises. Parts of the facilities might be a tad bit run down but they are kept clean. Close to good resturants but they also have their own chef who cooks good food for a decent price. Although the location isn't very noisy I would still advice people to bring some earplugs as the fans or the people can get a bit loud from time to time.

The metro connectivity is excellent — just 10 minutes from the airport and about 15 minutes to most major attractions. The 24/7 reception team was super helpful and friendly. They even organize city tours, which made exploring really convenient. Spacious, filled with greenery and inviting common areas to relax or meet other travelers. The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable, and the food was great. Overall, a lovely and memorable stay — highly recommend!

Nice place to stay to go to the airport next day. It's really easy to get there with the metro. If it's to visit Chennai it's a bit far from tourist attractions. Easy to meet people and play in the saloon !

This hostel exceeded my expectations! The staffs were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with anything I needed. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and well maintained. The common areas were inviting and had a great vibe, making it easy to meet other travellers. Everything about my stay was perfect. There are adorable cats around which made the place feel more like home. Highly recommended!
