6.6/10
Convenient for visa appointments, but uneven cleanliness keeps it from being an easy recommendation.
UPAR is a no-frills 3-star budget hotel in Nungambakkam whose strongest assets are its location and helpful staff. It makes practical sense for a short visa-appointment trip, with hospital access another draw. Agoda guests reviewing stays in 2026 praise the staff, value and clean rooms, while Booking.com’s overall verdict is good rather than exceptional. Expect straightforward air-conditioned accommodation, not the luxury suggested by some hotel marketing.
The reservation is housekeeping consistency. Separate Google and Expedia guests report cockroaches and poorly cleaned rooms in 2025, and an October 2026 Expedia review again criticizes cleanliness. Bathroom upkeep, air-conditioning problems and noise also surface. Breakfast earns both praise and complaints about limited choice; inclusion depends on your booking. We'd consider it for a brief, location-led stay, but skip it for a restful recovery stay or if reliable cleanliness is non-negotiable.

Best for: budget-conscious visa applicants; short, location-led city stays
Watch out for: recurring cleanliness and pest reports; uneven bathroom and air-conditioning upkeep; breakfast not included in every booking
Location: Central Nungambakkam location is useful for visa appointments, Apollo Hospital and Sankara Nethralaya.
Rooms: Simple air-conditioned rooms; guests report variable maintenance, comfort and noise.
Cleanliness: Many positive reports, but independent pest complaints and a recent cleanliness complaint warrant caution.
Service: Helpful reception staff are a consistent strength, including in otherwise critical reviews.
Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, parking, a lift, breakfast buffet and laundry services cover the basics.
Fees and surprises: Check breakfast inclusion; extra beds cost extra, and Expedia lists noon check-in and 11 a.m. checkout.
