Triplicane (original name: Tiruvallikeni) is one of the busiest areas in Chennai. It's a hub for student and working bachelors as there is affordable accommodation, variety of food options available and relatively safe. It also has the famous Parthasarathy Temple which is huge and has various dieties in the same temple compound.
Anyway, the purpose of writing this post is to share information on some of the guest houses (also called Mansions for reasons best known to Chennai folks as they are no where near what is actually known as a Mansion in English. You have to see to believe :) chuckle).
Here are some Guest House addresses and contact details for those coming new into Chennai. It makes sense to stay in Triplicane as it is close to the railway station and is well connected to other parts of Chennai by public transport (buses and trains).
Please note most guest houses (mansions) charge only a 2 month advance unlike if you rent a house in Chennai where 10 months advance is demanded. They also generally do not charge for electricity and water unless specified. You get a TV and regular cleaning and maintenance.
Though I have personally lived in some of these guest houses, I would recommend you to visit these places and personally have a look at the rooms before agreeing to stay. They are all close to each other, so check them out and then decide which one to stay.
