Nice simple affordable hotel in the middle of Mamallapuram’s main attractions. The hotel is basic but has great rooms with fantastic pool area. Restaurant is ok but there are better options outside the hotel.

Ok Hotel
2 night stay, this is a basic hotel which has probably seen better days, however the location is close to all the sites, shopping and restaurants. Ac/fan are good , shower and toilet clean and functional. Used the restaurant once, the lobster was fresh and cooked very well, the price was extremely good value, the waitress from Darjeeling was pleasant and helpful. The downside was the amount of mosquitoes in the room and the bad wi fi connection ( however this is a common problem in many hotels in India) lastly some not all of the staff on reception need to be a little more professional in their approach to guests needs, good customer care is a big factor when choosing a hotel for most people.

pool the big attraction
this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag--- great pool, good food in the restaurant, large clean room--- but --- a cold shower for 3 out of 7 mornings and a very diffident attitude from many ( not all ! ) of the staff. They don't seem to be a happy bunch. The pool man was most attentive and friendly.

Great secluded courtyard in the center of town
A good budget hotel. I was put in the “Expedia” room for my first night. It was clean but smelled of sewage and there were mosquitoes. Next morning I asked nicely if I could have a higher up room and the front desk person told me “I’ll send a boy to clean.” I was going for a walk so I gave her my key and told her “please have the boy move my things to another room.” Returned a few hours later and nothing had been done. Asked another person who gladly changed my room and the next two nights were comfortable. Overall friendly staff. Food OK. Crows would land at your table and eat off your plate if you didn’t watch out. Way too many smokers on the grounds. Most ppl just came for a night or two but spending a little longer helped me get used to the ins and outs and make my way a bit happier. One more thing: unbelieveably excellent Kerala massage. I got one a day while I was there. If you have time ask the front desk to arrange for you!

Value for money.
Big rooms with comfortable beds. Nice balconies. Nice garden with a big pool hidden away from the busy main road. Has Tv but only one Chanel. The hotel & garden must have been beautiful one upon a time but it is very badly maintained. Good location.

mauvais souvenir
c'est un hôtel tres sale de la chambre aux toilettes jusqu'à la nappe de la table a manger.Un poisson grillé avec des écailles et deux viscères non enlevées .Un accueil lacunaire et suspect.Deux heures pour obtenir des serviettes de bain.Cela manque de formation ou tout simplement de bon sens.A éviter et gare aux moustiques. Tres dommage car bien situé. .
