The property is under going renovation because of which there is lot of noise and dust is in the air, quite a run down place, wait for 2026 before you plan a trip here . Good location though, everything is within 500m of the priority.

Nice simple affordable hotel in the middle of Mamallapuram’s main attractions. The hotel is basic but has great rooms with fantastic pool area. Restaurant is ok but there are better options outside the hotel.

Good location and very friendly staff

Well located and walking distance from all tourist attractions. The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms might need to be renovated and WiFi did not really reach to our room.

Hotel Mahabs has some real faded charm. My room was basic, but comfortable (though in four days I only managed to get hot water once). The best feature: the beautiful balcony area. I spent a lot of time there! The staff were, generally, friendly and helpful, but there was a lot of noise from construction work and the all-night bus depot out the back of my room. Not the most peaceful setting. The pool is a great size and kept reasonably clean, but it too has seen better days...Overall, a pleasant, but not fantastic, stay.

Value for money.

Big rooms with comfortable beds. Nice balconies. Nice garden with a big pool hidden away from the busy main road. Has Tv but only one Chanel. The hotel & garden must have been beautiful one upon a time but it is very badly maintained. Good location.

Ok Hotel

2 night stay, this is a basic hotel which has probably seen better days, however the location is close to all the sites, shopping and restaurants. Ac/fan are good , shower and toilet clean and functional. Used the restaurant once, the lobster was fresh and cooked very well, the price was extremely good value, the waitress from Darjeeling was pleasant and helpful. The downside was the amount of mosquitoes in the room and the bad wi fi connection ( however this is a common problem in many hotels in India) lastly some not all of the staff on reception need to be a little more professional in their approach to guests needs, good customer care is a big factor when choosing a hotel for most people.

Rummet var slitet men hyfsat rent. En storstädning skulle behövts. Wifi krånglade en del. Personalen var trevlig och hjälpsam. Läget var bra, presis bredvid de gamla templen. Nära till restauranger.

mauvais souvenir

c'est un hôtel tres sale de la chambre aux toilettes jusqu'à la nappe de la table a manger.Un poisson grillé avec des écailles et deux viscères non enlevées .Un accueil lacunaire et suspect.Deux heures pour obtenir des serviettes de bain.Cela manque de formation ou tout simplement de bon sens.A éviter et gare aux moustiques. Tres dommage car bien situé. .
