A group of cottage-style apartments, with all the facilities, has been designed to promote privacy and solitude thanks to private balconies: twenty air-conditioned cottages, opening onto a kitchen with a spectacular view. A very popular place, but slightly uncomfortable if you have no means of transport.

This hotel offers not only good price for the price but also a sober decoration that is not exclusive to its competitors. The rooms are spacious, bright and airy. The hotel has three restaurants, one of which is very pleasant on the roof, where tasty breakfasts are taking place: A wide choice of Indian dishes, eggs cooked on demand under your eyes, breads, cakes… what to skip the meal at midday! There is also a bar in the basement. The hotel was very clean and the room was clean.

Charming wooden bungalows, a quality restaurant, a library and a beautiful terrace with view, impeccable service… you will have understood it, an unmissable establishment and directly on the beach! The rooms are furnished with solid wood furniture and the bed is under a vaporous bed. They surround two small shaded bucolic ponds. This cozy atmosphere is complemented by a spa that exempts Ayurvedic care (among others). A safe value.

Often complete, the Young Women's Christian Association was a good place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Free wifi at the reception. Arrival at 12:30 and departure at noon.

The rooms are well equipped (air conditioning, TV) but the decoration leaves a little to be desired. The hotel has an exchange service, the Internet and an efficient travel agency. Its restaurant on the terrace enjoys a magnificent view of Sri Celebrated temple and the entire city.

Located just a few steps from the tourist office and the central bus station, this hotel managed by the Tamil Nadu tourist department comprises a Bar and a Restaurant. The non-air-conditioned rooms offer a better value for money than the air-conditioned rooms. The equipment dates back a little, but the whole is quite clean, there are sheets and TV.

This is a comfortable residence that offers furnished apartments with several beds or rooms with shower and toilet, air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned. In retreat from the great artery, this imposing residence enjoys a rare calm. Its only defect is that it is far from the "white city" and the centre of Pondy. Reasonable prices.

This beautiful establishment of seventy-four rooms offers all the necessary comforts: lift, beautiful televisions, clean rooms and air conditioning... but it is above all the favourite of foreign tourists, which is nice to exchange travel impressions. Its rooftop restaurant, Mandapam, offers good international cuisine, but the view of the roof is much less spectacular than that of hotels based on Perumal Maistry Street.

With its old-fashioned style, it is a decent government hotel, nothing more. The main staircase gives a certain character to the establishment. The rooms are classic for India with their rudimentary sanitary facilities and sometimes quite dirty walls. Bar and restaurant on site. The service is quite lax and the dishes on the menu are far from all available. The highlight of this hotel: it is located in the city centre.

A hotel with shimmering colours that many Western travellers love. The rooms are clean and rudimentary, but the earthenware in the bathrooms is multicoloured and pleasant to look at. The New Café bar-restaurant, on the first floor, serves good local and international cuisine. It is the ideal place to meet travellers if you like festive and young atmospheres (the music is sometimes a little loud). Close to the beach. Very good value for money.

Due to its proximity to the temple, this hotel is popular with tourists. The 32 rooms are clean and large, painted in yellow and blue, but there are no television or sometimes a window! Those on the roof, very pleasant, offer an excellent view of the western gopuram, especially when the evening falls… It's impressive, it's almost like inside the temple. Bathrooms are maintained and have western toilets. There have been some complaints about the questionable behaviour of staff, so keep your distance.

It is possible to have a room for nine people. Booking recommended. This ideally located hotel near the sea is the oldest in Mamallapuram. The charming owner Mr Xavier is proud of this and provides a lot of information about the city. He opened it in 1986 when there was still no hotel in the corner! The rooms, painted in yellow and blue, have an exotic charm, as the floor is covered with mats and the roof is apparent. A three-bed room even has a terrace with a garden lounge: It's very nice to relax there. However, to avoid rooms on the ground floor, their maintenance is deplorable.
