Great location, ten min walk to the beach. good service, courteous staff,nice sized rooms with air conditioning that works. The wash rooms were spacious and clean. There is a nice small swimming pool that they keep clean. The food from the restaurant was terrible, look for other dining options.A decent stay considering the price. More

The hotel is situated in a good location, not far from the beach, restaurants and tourist attractions. as in most hotels in India service is poor, the rooms are spacious but poorly maintained. there is a nice small swimming pool. breakfast is Indian and quite bad! More

This hotel i choose after trip advisor review and recommendation of a friend who stays close to mahabalipuram. My feeling is it is little pricey for what it offers. Good things about the hotel were the swimming and taste of the Indian food that we had. but the bad things are very slow service especially at the restaurant, untrained young... More

Best budget hotel in India This is definitely the best budget hotel we have found in all of India. It’s literally an oasis in the middle of town, just east of the bus terminal on the edge of the old Mamallapuram and a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and the shore temple as well as the rock ruins. The... More

We stayed at Mahabs Inn in January 2006 and January 2012 and much has changed for the better in between. The hotel has better service and more professional personnel, the rooms have been redone and the wonderful pool is there. The hotel itself is situated perfect right in the middle of cute Mahabalipuram, a short walk either to the beach,... More

We stayed in the place for a day in deluxe room which was for 2700+taxes. We did not get any lower rooms as they were full but they also looked good. The location of the hotel is great as it is situated in the heart of the city. All the places to visit are within walking distance. It is front... More

Very nice hotel perfectly situated for visiting village/beach/temple, the rooms are comfortable but nothing special, but the balcony and swimming pool are the highlights for this hotel. The restaurant serves very nice food, and the restaurant staff are particularly friendly. All the staff are helpful, and our rooms were ready even though we arrived early. More
