Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Kovalam beach and offers spacious rooms. The dining experience is satisfactory but could be improved. The facilities are well-maintained, making the stay quite reasonable.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were left with a lot of dirt during our stay, which was disappointing, but on the bright side, they were clean for those who had booked well in advance. The service was decent, nothing extraordinary, but satisfactory. The location, while a bit far from Mahabalipuram, was convenient for me, especially being close to Kovalam beach and along the OMR. The dining options were satisfying overall, although unavailable on Mondays. The facilities were acceptable, not exceptional but sufficient for a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a nice sofa unit, flat screen TV, AC, and a mini fridge. The comfortable mattress and clean bathroom with hot water running all the time made my stay very relaxing. However, the lack of variety in the dining options was a downside.
The hotel offers rooms that vary in lighting; Bedroom 1 & Bedroom 2 boast a good view, nice sofa unit, flat screen TV, AC, mini fridge, comfortable mattress, and a clean bathroom with hot water available all the time upon check-in. The price is reasonable considering the amenities provided.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with comfortable rooms and good service, but falls short on location and dining. The rooms are nicely done up with a sliding window providing a good view, equipped with essential amenities, including a flat screen TV, AC, mini fridge, comfortable mattress, and a clean bathroom with hot water running all the time. However, the room size could potentially cramp movements. The service is commendable, offering room service, housekeeping, and laundry facilities, along with an airport shuttle service. Unfortunately, the location is not ideal for moving around easily, being a fair distance from Mahabalipuram, but it does have the advantage of being close to the ECR highway and the SIPCOT IT park. The dining options, while serving good quality purely South Indian cuisine, may not be suitable for those looking for a diverse menu. Overall, the facilities provided are satisfactory, offering basic necessities for a reasonable stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near Kovalam beach and offers a good base for exploring the area. The rooms are nicely done up with a sliding window, but cleanliness could be improved. The dining options are limited, but the restaurant food is excellent. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there was an issue with mosquitoes. The location was excellent, making it easy for me to come and go, especially for a bike ride along ECR. The dining experience was quite reasonable, offering tasty vada and dosai. The facilities were good, but the lack of alternate dining options was a downside.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and hygienic, but they looked old with some areas having peeling paint. Despite being well-maintained, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating during my stay. The service was satisfactory overall, but some areas could be improved. The location was convenient for single occupancy and had good access to the market, though it fell short of expectations for going on a bike ride in the ECR area. The dining options were limited, with only idli and dosa available, and ended earlier than usual, missing some essential items like coffee, tea, or milk.
The hotel offers a convenient location near Kovalam beach and on the OMR, perfect for bike rides and close to the ECR highway. The rooms are small but provided a clean and comfortable stay. The dining options are limited to idli and dosa, making the stay reasonably priced.
The hotel is situated in a spacious location, close to Kovalam beach and almost on the OMR, which is a major advantage. The rooms had some dirt between the days of our stay but overall provided a comfortable experience. However, there is room for improvement in terms of cleanliness.
The hotel rooms were okay, albeit looking a bit old with dated paint, but they were vacated for customers who had long-standing bookings. The service was satisfactory with room service, housekeeping, and laundry available, though there was a charge for the airport shuttle. The location was good, close to ECR making it convenient to catch a taxi for movement and enjoy bike rides. Despite being near Kelambakkam Depot and the town bus stand, the hotel met our expectations.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a lovely sofa unit. The view was incredible, and the mattress was so comfortable. The bathroom was spotless, and I loved that the hot water was available all the time. However, it was disappointing that the rooms were only available for customers who had booked in advance, reducing spontaneity. Overall, a great place to stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very neat but unfortunately, they were full of mosquitoes, making it uncomfortable for my family. The location was good, being close to Kovalam beach and right on the OMR, but it was quite far from Mahabalipuram at over 25 kilometers. The dining was purely South Indian, which I enjoyed, but it was disappointing that it was not available on Mondays. The service was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.
