    I am going to Anna Nagar in Chennai to visit a few temples. My stay there would be for 4 days and I need to find a hotel there and would like some help in getting suggestions for hotels in Anna Nagar Chennai.

    My budget is low and the max I can spend per night is Rs1000, obviously the lower the better.

    As Anna Nagar is a transport hub I am hoping that you can easily get public transport from the hotels there?

    Thank you in advance to everyone helping.

    Hello, @Suchitra, welcome to the forum!


    Overview

    Anna Nagar is a posh residential area located in the northwestern part of Chennai. It can be divided into three main areas, namely: Anna Nagar, Anna Nagar West and Anna Nagar East. With its broad roads, numerous residential areas and commercial hubs, Anna Nagar is one of the most sought after localities in the city. Its main attraction is the Anna Nagar Tower Park, with a great view of the city from the tower and a small skating rink that children enjoy spending some time in. Anna Nagar is also home to numerous temples like the Ayyapan Temple, Maa Kali Amman Temple and Chinna Tirupati Temple. For those wondering about your staying options when in Anna Nagar, there are several options. However, since this is a posh locality, the rates for hotels are also on the higher side.

    Budget Hotels in Anna Nagar in Chennai (Under Rs. 1,500/Night)

    There are some budget hotel options around Anna Nagar, but at the most, you need to spend about Rs. 1,500 per night. Some fall on the lower side this range while others are on the higher side of this range. Further, some of these hotels are located close to Anna Nagar since hotels that are located within the locality itself are priced higher. Thus, you'd have to take into account the money that you would be spending for travelling back and forth, in and out of the locality.

    1. Hotel Poigai - This hotel is located in Arumbakkam, about 3.2 kilometres away from the main Anna Nagar locality. It is also just 2.4 kilometres away from the Ayyapan Temple of Anna Nagar.

There are two ways of booking a room for this hotel, one is via an affiliated booking site or the other is via Oyo Rooms. Either way, the rates won't be for more than Rs. 1,280 per night. Hotel Poigao has this blue and grey facade on the exteriors, while they have a cream and flesh motif on the rooms. All rooms have air-conditioning and television, ensuring a comfortable stay. They also have a small bar/restaurant where you can spend some leisurely time in or have your meals in. There's also an elevator, so you won't need to carry your luggage with you in the stairs if you're located on the upper floors. One downside with the hotel is that they don't have a parking area, so if you're bringing your own vehicle, you would have to park it quite a bit of a distance away from the property. Otherwise, Hotel Poigai is a good budget option for those staying in the Anna Nagar locality.
