The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

Our host, Mani, was superb! He was so welcoming, kind and generous with his time and helped to organise taxis for us. The area was spacious and we felt very comfortable. We would recommend staying here. It was a nice quiet and safe area, with only the sounds of wildlife at night-time.

The rooms are excellent. Spacious and spotless clean. Big bathroom where, for once, the toilet doesn't get wet when you shower. Toilet paper, soap, shampoo and towel supplied. I really liked having a table and chair on the balcony outside my room. This hotel is more airy and open than many others in the area, and that means almost no mosquitoes. Excellent location right across the street from Joe's cafe, a nice old style travellers café with rickety tables, some outside, and all the favourites on the menu. The hotel WiFi reaches here too. A few hurdles to get AC and WiFi working, but they fixed it straight away. (Don't forget to also visit the Tiger cave when you are here. You can get there by local bus or shared rickshaws for 15-20rp.)

    Great host who speaks English and arranged a well priced tour to the amazing archaeological sites for us. The room was clean and everything worked. The location is well away from the noisy streets and only steps from the beach. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance, including local ones on the main road. Good value for money
