stayed here a day and half, not even two nights. it's clean enough, but when I checked in there was a stray dog under my bed. he was cute but I still had them change the sheets and wash the floor because who knows about fleas, etc. kind of weird no one knew there was a dog under the bed... More

I came back twice while I was in tamil nadu. Lingesh the owner is really hospitable and his brother, Passipathi, runs a stone carving shop nearby. Shiva does the cleaning and does a great job. They will go out of their way to help and helped me loads when I was ill taking me to the doctors. The guesthouse is... More

Sri Harul Guesthouse is a really nice place with hot shower and clean rooms. Rooms with balcony right facing to the ocean so one can see the fishermans as they are going out to the Ocean early morning. We felt like in heaven!! Linges the owner is really nice person. The restaurant Good Luck is one of the best in... More

Laid back, friendly and with a little more structure than one is used to in India, i e things might actually happen they way you have agreed!! No luxury of course, and the darling little housekeeper Bob (after Mr Marley) Shiva (after you-know-whom) doesn´t really put all of his soul into cleaning. But this is made up for in the... More

Great location at the sea. Unfortunately all the sea view rooms were full (they told me that when I booked), but I spent enough time enjoying the sea from the lovely rooftop restaurant.

The guest house is nice and I moved to it after the first night at another one. The location is amazing - right on the beach. Rooms are basic but relatively clean. The most important thing: MAKE SURE TO HAVE A ROOM AT THE FRONT AND IN 2ND FLOOR - all have a balcony and a great view. They are... More

Mamallapuram beach really resonated with me. Its a beach that reflects the real life of its community. Fishing boats and nets strewn about the beach, cows and dogs congregating, plenty of locals working, gawking, selling, being friendly, playing. Its a true slice of life, as is the Sri Harul Guesthouse. The Seaview rooms are a nice size with balconies and... More

This modest guest house is on the waterfront, with views of the ocean. A really nice owner who showed me around. I plan to stay there every winter, if I can get a sea front room! dr.Nirmala

This guesthouse is very clean, the rooms upstairs are newly built and have a fantatisc seaview (when they are faced to the sea !). There is a restaurant at the rooftop with the same view. The owner is very straight : we booked a seaview room, 2 days before arriving , and he gave us this room. It is not... More
