About

The White House Residency Hotel - Chennai

The White House Residency is a small, family-run hotel on Triplicane High Road, in the heart of old Chennai. With only 10 rooms, it offers a personal, low-key atmosphere rather than the anonymity of a large property.

The hotel is set 350 metres from Thiruvateeswaran Koil Kulam, a temple tank, and within easy reach of Pondy Bazaar, a bustling shopping street. It's a practical base for travellers who want to be close to local life without paying premium rates.

  • Paid Wi-Fi in public areas
  • Electric kettle
  • Flat-screen TV

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Central Triplicane location — The hotel sits on Triplicane High Road, with the Thiruvateeswaran Koil Kulam just 350 metres away and Pondy Bazaar around 3 kilometres off. It puts you within walking distance of local temples and a short ride from shopping.
  • Compact and personal scale — With only 10 rooms, the hotel keeps things simple and manageable. Staff can offer more attention than at a larger property, and the small size suits travellers who prefer a quieter, more intimate stay.
  • Affordable room rates — Rooms start at £15 per night, making it one of the more budget-friendly options in the area. The combination of location and price works well for cost-conscious travellers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No air conditioning in all rooms — Only the Deluxe Double, Basic Triple (with AC), and Classic Quadruple come with air conditioning. The Budget Double, Budget Single, and one Basic Triple variant rely on fans or open windows, which may be uncomfortable in Chennai's heat.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 20:00. If your flight or train arrives outside those hours, you'll need to plan ahead or arrange alternative arrival times.
  • Paid Wi-Fi only in public areas — The hotel charges for Wi-Fi and it's only available in common spaces, not in the rooms. If you need reliable internet in your room, this may be a drawback.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
