- Avg. price/night: $11.67Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.3Good - What previous guests thought, 1,511 reviewsBroad Lands was fantastic, clean, and had charming colonial architecture. Its location made visiting key attractions easy. A tip for future visitors: use the Metro from the airport. We found it much cheaper and more convenient on our return trip. I highly recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, charm, and convenience.Guest review byPereraGroup
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very Good - What previous guests thought, 765 reviewsGreat hostel run by super friendly staff, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, the common area is perfect for chilling and socializing, and they serve homemade meals for a very good price. The location is good and it was easy to find with the staff's directions, lots of food options nearby, and it's right next to the Little Mount metro station. The only down side for me is that it was a bit pricey for my budget, but I really enjoyed my stay ;)Guest review byMaiderSolo traveler

- Avg. price/night: $11.67Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.3Good - What previous guests thought, 1,511 reviewsWe had such an amazing stay at Broad Lands. We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived and the staff we happy to help with any questions we had. The chill space is so serene and the option to head to the roof top is perfect for sunset. The property is absolutely beautiful! Light, airy, beautifully restored, they’ve kept the charm of the old 50s building perfectly. It feels like a safe and cosy homestay. The room was cool comfy and clean. Would absolutely recommend for anyone staying in Chennai. Great location too.Guest review byJoeYoung couple
