M Stays
A budget business-centre stay in residential Chennai
About this hotel
M Stays keeps its offering straightforward, four minutes' walk from Radha Shyam Apartments in a residential pocket of the city. M Kitchen, a minute away, gives guests a nearby dining option beyond the hotel's own facilities. As a budget property, M Stays skips a pool or rooftop bar in favor of a business centre and full-service laundry, aimed at practical stays rather than a scenic terrace evening. At roughly 40 minutes by taxi or 56 minutes by public transport from Chennai International Airport, the hotel sits within the city's residential interior rather than the coast or the OMR corridor further south. That's a detail worth weighing against the rest of an itinerary before settling on this property over another.
- Business-ready rooms
- Residential location
- Budget-friendly
Our take
M Stays suits budget travelers who need a practical, residential base with business centre access. It's not built around a rooftop or pool experience. Guests wanting a rooftop terrace, pool or garden as part of the stay should look toward Grand Cascade Hotels or the city's mid-range rooftop terrace properties instead of this straightforward hotel.
- ✓Use the business centre for last-minute prep before meetings elsewhere in the city's residential districts.
- ✓Try M Kitchen, a minute's walk away, for a quick dinner beyond the hotel's own limited dining.
- ✓Budget close to 40 minutes for the airport transfer, longer than hotels nearer the old commercial core.

Why guests love itWe needed a practical base for a short work trip and M Stays covered exactly that without much fuss involved. The business centre was handy for printing documents before a meeting across town. M Kitchen, a minute away, became our regular dinner spot by the second night of the stay. It's a small thing, but one that shaped how the rest of the stay went.
