We stayed overnight while travelling to Pondicherry and i think that was enough to see the main attractions. The Hotel has good sized rooms, specially the deluxe rooms which open to the swimming pool. Nice clean pool but they close it very early..The location is good and walking distance to both the market, sights and the beach. The food was... More

We chose this hotel based on reviews from Tripadvisor, but the hotel is nowhere close to what is expected when a price of about 2500/day is paid. The rooms are quite ordinary and not very clean. It has a pool that is okay. The staff in the restaurant in the hotel are not very helpful or even courteous. The location... More

The Hotel is about as central as you can get in the town - tucked down a short road near the bus station. Rooms and restaurant arranged around a very attractive pool, shielded from the noise and bustle of a busy main road. Trees and exotic plants, birds, it all seems to good to be true. The room we had... More

Greedy A room at the ground floor with a view on the swimming pool. That was what I asked at the Mahabs hotel in Mamallapuram.

great little hotel in the center of the city with a big pool(with lounge chairs in the shade)!! Price includes a very decent breakfast. Staff is very helpful and friendly on top of it, I'd highly recommend it!! Best hotelin town...

The Mahabs was recommended to me by Indian friends of mine and I am really thankful to them! I already stayed there the second time now for 2 weeks and will come for sure again. There are different room types - so it's helpful to book in advance one of the spacious deluxe rooms with AC I prefer ! The... More

I love this hotel. It's peaceful and friendly and a great way to gently enter into Indian life. The staff are really helpful - including by email when preparing the trip, which is a godsend. Yes it's Indian, with its hiccups (iffy showers and brown interior decorating...) but it's also gorgeous. The (clean) pool, the great food (including the fantastic... More

The staff were pleasant and the rooms pretty clean,overall the courtyard and pool are quite appealing. However, there were a few problems that would not allow me to recommend this hotel - these included: - Heavy smell of disinfectant in the room. - Mosquitos and bugs that really got us during the night. - Sleep was disturbed throughout the night...

This is a budget hotel however on passing numerous other hotels in the immediate town area, seems to be of a similar standard. It has numerous rooms, both AC and non AC. The room we had was quite large however lacked both the hot water and wifi that was advertised (we paid for an hour of wifi however it never... More
