About
Sun City
Sun City sits right in the centre of Chennai, about 0.6 km from Ekambareswarar Temple and just next door to Chennai Central railway station. The 2-star hotel keeps things simple: a deluxe room, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, room service, and wheelchair access. Guests repeatedly highlight the location as a major plus, with many restaurants and bazaars within walking distance.
The hotel is managed by a friendly and cooperative staff, and the rooms are noted for being spacious with good beds. Breakfast offers a decent selection of goodies, and for those travelling by train, being only steps from the central station makes it very easy to get around. Check-in runs from noon until just before midnight, so late arrivals are generally accommodated.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Simple 2-star amenities — Expect a no-frills stay: no pool, gym, or restaurant beyond breakfast. The amenities list is short, and the only room type is the Deluxe Room.
- Limited evening check-in window — Check-in is only until 23:59, which may be restrictive for very late flights or trains.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place; the policy explicitly forbids them.
- Area rating below average — The hotel's rating (6.7) is slightly above the area average (6.5), but the surrounding area is ranked low (678 out of 1413) in Chennai, so don't expect a high-end neighbourhood.
