Probably one of the better places to stay in Mahabalipuram. Central location to all the sites and the hotel has a nice pool which was great. Rooms were tired and needed refurbished. Noisy at night with families and children running about. Buffet breakfast was mostly curries.

Good size room. Comfortable bed. Nice pool. Close to sites. Many tuk tuks at the gate to get around. Breakfast was plentiful with Indian dishes but you can still have toast and fruits etc. I enjoyed the German bakery (Nepalese Restaurant) for good food.

Fantastiskt ställe!

Det är första gången jag bor här. Fantastiskt ställe mitt i Mamallapuram. En oväntad oas av stillhet, god frukost, nära havet. Fantastisk pool. De hade en taxi driver Thuri som körde mig ditt jag behövde åka. Ibland en halv eller heldag. Dit åker jag igen!
