I opted to pay a little extra for breakfast, as it was not included in my stay. The meal featured a made-to-order selection, including dosa and omelets, along with a buffet offering a variety of breads, tea, coffee, butter, fruits, and more. The quality was excellent, and everything was delicious.

Overall, the property is quite charming, with a prime location near the beach and within walking distance of the Shore Temple and other archaeological sites. The rooms are of a decent size, and most aspects of the stay were satisfactory. However, the air conditioning unit was not well-maintained, and some of the pool tiles were either loose or missing on one side, which was a minor drawback. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this place. It offers great value for money.

The location is perfect - in the centre of town and within walking distance of all the monuments. The entrance from the road is a bit scruffy but once inside the grounds you are in a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the town with a delightful swimming pool around which to spend the hottest part of the day. The food is delicious and the staff go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. This is not a swish, modern hotel but if you like traditional places with lots of atmosphere and good, old-fashioned values you will not find better in Mamallapuram. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

We loved the HUGE pool! It was clean and well attended. The tile in the bathroom was gorgeous and the thoughtful detail put into every corner was incredible! That was the best shower water pressure I can ever remember. The wooden-carved furniture in the bedroom was beautiful, also. Our room was on the 2nd floor and had a terrace sitting area that overlooked the pool. We loved being able to read out there in the sunshine. The hotel is close to all the tourist sites, but you wouldn't know that because it was so quiet and serene with the jungle-scape. Wish we could stay there for another week!

We stayed as a group of three friends . The stay was very good this hotel has very good amenities and very close to bus stop, beach , has very good restaurants nearby and all . The only thing was we expected breakfast to be included in the stay but the hotel were charging extra money for breakfast since they told if we book in booking.com breakfast isn't included. Also the room we were given was good and spacious but it was on top and stairs leading upto it felt very unsafe . Swimming pool was also well maintained and kept clean and staff was very friendly .

The location and the staff, the room was a decent size with a large bathroom and terrace with two comfortable chairs and a table, the pool was only a few steps away as was the restaurant, breakfast was served buffet style and there was a wide range of options for lunch and dinner. The hotel is with an easy walk to the beach as are the main sights of mamallapuram, but the hotel will arrange a tuktuk that will drop you at them and wait for you these are very cheap and I would recommend. When we first arrived in mamallapuram and were driving down the main road, I thought we were in the wrong place because the pictures showed trees around the pool and this was a busy main road, but then we turn into the drive and it opened up into this little oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bussle, relaxing at the pool after sightseeing was great, the staff were all brilliant we'll definitely return at some point

Nothing the place was actually better than we expected, especially when we were driving down the main road

Facility was well maintained. The moment we entered the facility we felt too good to see greenery around Breakfast Buffet food was very good and stuffing. Restaurant staff was cooperative and prompt. We ate omelet and dosa from running counter. the variety of food can be improved like aloo paratha can be added Swimming pool was great time spend. You can add more ladders to enter the pool and also some tubes, balls to play in the pool. Side railing is also required inside the pool wall. Depth can be marked on each side.

Earlier shown room bathrooms were not good hence we requested for another room. Though earlier room was big, and they arranged another room. Also, there were black stains on commode cover, one of the staff checked with hand and wiped hand at the bedding. That hygiene can be improved. Room service can be faster slightly

There is a nice pool, the rooms are comfortable and all the basics are available. The staff is friendly and polite. Centrally located near monuments in Mahabalipuram, walking distance to everything and a bunch of nice restaurants nearby like Madras Chronicle.

We were given a room with a smelly bathroom when we arrived, however we were given a different room upon making a complaint about it. The food service at the restaurant is a bit slow.

Location is OK. Breakfast also nice.

We entered into the room around 8.00 P. M. Next day they told to vacate around 12.00 P. M.. We requested to extend the time till 6.00 P. M. But they refused. So the management will arrange for the extension of room if we are in need. I feel very bad on that day. Even though we are willing to pay, they won't, allow us to stay.

After going through the reviews ,I was bit worried and I packed extra bedsheets.Once inside the room I was so glad I booked hotel Mahabs inspite of so many negative reviews The pool was clean ,food awesome,staff very friendly.The room was clean ,bathroom was clean .

The sponge kept in the soap case was worn out. The taps came of and it need to be looked at The drain in the washbasin didnt work. An exhaust fan will be helpful. Sounds from the kitchen and cleaning area was disrurbing our early morn sleep

It had bundles of charm and character. The food in the restaurant was great and the staff were fabulous. Great location. Huge bedroom! It’s like a little oasis when you get inside.

The pool needs some attention. It was clean but lots of tiles missing and paving around the side needs repair. However, the trees hanging over make it beautiful to swim in when it’s sunny. Maybe brighten up the bedroom with some colour. But none of these things spoiled our stay.
