Anand Hotel

You can find Anand Hotel at No 642 in Tondiarpet, right near the Apollo Hospital. In this part of Chennai, things are always moving fast. Being so close to a major hospital means we see a lot of people who are going through a tough time or just visiting family. We try to keep the place steady for them. It is a simple building, nothing too tall or modern. We have been here in Tondiarpet for years, watching the neighborhood change around us. The air usually smells a bit like the sea and the city traffic. Our rooms are basic and clean. We do not have fancy uniforms or a big lobby. It is just a desk and some staff who have been with us for a while. We spend a lot of time cleaning and making sure the fans are working, especially with the Chennai heat. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to deal with that. It is a practical place to stay if you have business at the hospital. In the mornings, the street outside gets very loud with people selling things and the hospital sirens. We just keep the door closed to keep some of the noise out. It is a very busy part of the city but we like being here. We do not do much advertising. Most people just walk in because they see our sign from the road. It is a humble spot.
