My stay at Hotel Ambica Empire had its highlights and drawbacks. The lobby and dining options were impressive, but the rooms left much to be desired. I found the wifi disappointing, and while the service was attentive, the payment policies felt somewhat off-putting.

The rooms were quite tired and didn't match the beautiful reception area. They looked old and could really use some renovation. The noise from the busy road didn't help either.

While the staff was generally friendly and attentive to requests, the payment policy was confusing and felt unnecessarily stringent. I’d expected a more accommodating approach given that I had already paid for my room.

My stay at Hotel Ambica Empire was quite disappointing. While the location near Vadapalani Metro station was convenient, the traffic noise was unbearable at night. I found the rooms to be old and had a dirty smell when the A/C was on. On a positive note, the breakfast was good, and the dining service was attentive. However, overall, I felt the hotel didn't offer value for the money I paid. 😞

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Hotel Ambica Empire. The location is convenient, being close to the Vadapalani Metro station and vibrant city life. However, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly when it came to the staff's handling of situations. The rooms were clean, yet some aspects were below expectations, especially given the price.
