About
Olive Grand Hotel - Chennai
Olive Grand Hotel Chennai is a 2-star property located opposite AVM Studio on Seethammal Street, Vadapalani. With 19 rooms offering city views, it’s positioned for travelers who want a straightforward, no-frills base in Chennai. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in every room, making it easy to stay connected without extra costs.
Its location is the standout feature: a 5-minute walk from Vadapalani Murugan Temple, and close to the Vadapalani metro station, bus terminus, and a shopping mall. While the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, guests consistently note that a range of veg and non-veg dining options are within 100 meters. The staff, often mentioned by name, are praised for being courteous and helpful.
Rooms are simple but functional, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. The Classic Triple Room adds a balcony. It’s a practical choice for those who plan to spend most of their time out exploring, and value is clearly the priority here rather than luxury.

- No parking, and pets are not allowed — Parking information isn’t available, and pets are prohibited. Travelers with vehicles or pets will need to look elsewhere.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00 AM, which is earlier than many hotels – plan your morning accordingly.

5Verified guest“Excellent stay – the rooms and bathrooms were spotless and well cared for. The AC worked perfectly. No in-house restaurant, but top veg and non-veg spots are just 100 meters away. Vadapalani bus terminus is a 3-minute walk. Staff, especially Sendhills and Magesh, were incredibly courteous. Worth every penny.”
5Verified guest“The terrace gave me an up-close view of pigeons, and the 'Asian' breakfast had some mysterious ingredients. Front desk is open 24 hours, though you might get ignored. Still, not a bad stay.”
