Rooms near Apollo Hospital, Greams Road
Chennai is one of Asia's busiest medical destinations, and most people who come here for treatment need somewhere to stay that is close to the hospital, quiet enough to recover in, and affordable across weeks rather than nights. The Roost sits on Wallace Garden 3rd Street in Nungambakkam — a residential lane in the middle of the city's hospital belt.

How far Apollo and the other hospitals are from Nungambakkam
All of these are reachable without crossing the city. Travel times are typical off-peak estimates by car; Chennai traffic between 9–11 AM and 5–8 PM will add to them.

Apollo's Greams Road complex is the closest of all — about a three-minute walk, one street over from Wallace Garden, which matters when someone is making the trip several times a day. Sankara Nethralaya on College Road is roughly 1.5 km, close enough that many companions walk it for daily eye appointments. Neither route goes near the Anna Salai bottleneck at the Gemini flyover.
Which room suits a patient and attendant
Deluxe Triple — patient plus one or two family members
A queen bed and a separate single bed in the same room. Families travelling for treatment usually prefer this to booking two rooms: someone stays within earshot overnight, and it costs less than a second room.
Studio with kitchen — treatment running into weeks
The Studio rooms have a kitchenette with a fridge and kettle. Guests recovering from surgery, or managing diabetes or post-operative diet restrictions, use it to prepare simple food rather than eating out every day. It is the practical difference between a hotel room and somewhere you can actually live for a month.
Deluxe Double — a single attendant, or short consultations
A quieter, smaller option for one or two people in Chennai for a consultation or a short procedure.

What makes a medical stay different
- Flexible 12 PM check-in and 11 AM check-out. Discharge almost never happens on schedule. Tell us what is happening and we will work around the day's occupancy.
- Longer-stay rates. Stays spanning several weeks of treatment are quoted at a reduced nightly rate for the whole period rather than night by night.
- Breakfast included, so the first meal of the day is one less thing to arrange before a morning appointment.
- A residential street. Wallace Garden is a lane off the main roads — genuinely quiet at night, which matters for recovery.
- Daily housekeeping and air conditioning in every room.
Getting here from the airport
Chennai International Airport is about 16 km away — roughly 30 minutes by taxi outside peak hours. Prepaid taxis are available inside the terminal, and app cabs pick up from the designated bay. If you are arriving late, or with someone who has limited mobility, message reservations in advance with your flight number and we will make sure someone is expecting you.
Common questions
How far is The Roost from Apollo Hospital, Greams Road?
About 200 metres — a two to three minute walk. Apollo's Greams Lane entrance is effectively one street over, so most guests walk, early morning and late night included.
Which rooms are nearest Apollo Hospital, Greams Road?
All of them — the whole property is one building about 200 metres from Apollo's Greams Lane entrance, on Wallace Garden 3rd Street in Nungambakkam. For a patient and an attendant the Deluxe Triple works best; for a long treatment cycle, a Studio.
Do you have rooms suitable for a patient and an attendant?
The Deluxe Triple has a queen plus a separate single and sleeps three, so nobody needs a second room. If the stay will run for weeks, the Studio and its kitchenette is usually the better call.
Can we prepare our own food for a restricted diet?
Yes, in the Studios. Each has a kitchenette with a fridge and kettle — enough for simple meals and for keeping food or medication cold between hospital visits. Tell us beforehand if there's something specific.
Do you offer longer-stay rates for treatment cycles?
Yes. Stays running across several weeks are quoted at a reduced nightly rate for the whole period. Call +91 93609 25184 with your dates, even rough ones. If treatment changes, we'll work around it.
Is there parking if we drive to the hospital?
Yes, private parking on site at no extra charge — and Apollo is a two to three minute walk, so the car can stay put between hospital visits. Space is finite; mention it when you book.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in from 12 PM, check-out at 11 AM, both kept flexible. Discharges rarely run to schedule, and neither do admissions — tell us what the hospital has said and we'll fit around it.
