Having listened to advice on TP we headed for Mahabalipuram for one night after visiting the Andaman Islands and what a delightful little fishing town. We stayed right on the beach at the Sri Harul Guesthouse and have to say that although when you first arrive it looks a little rough, the place was wonderful. Extremely competitively priced we had...

On my recent visit, I was pleased to discover that several guests from europe had read my review and were impressed with the place. It is very busy as a result of this and other sites reporting well on this place. It is thriving and so the level of service HAS GONE DOWN! The cleanliness leaves some gaps. Th owner... More

After months of travelling overland it was great to finally see the ocean and the fact there was a cow or ten on the beach made it even more interesting. The owner here was lovely and upgraded us to the beachside room on the 2nd night. The view was perfect and the price was so cheap that we stayed over... More

It is difficult to write a review of this place and is therefore more of a suggestion to management on how to improve. The main reason why we are writing this is because the boy who seemingly runs this place was constantly drunk and/or stoned and very often not around. He was pleasant enough, but on the last night he... More

This place deserves the #1 ranking. Stayed for 2 nights in July while looking for a place to rent. It was my first time in Mahabs and moving into the lovely ground floor room with waves lapping up under the balcony was a great way to start. The second night was the full moon and I have no words to... More

My husband and I spent two nights at this GH in August 2012. We had chosen this place based on reviews in Trip Advisor. The highlight of this GH is its location, right on the beach. Infact the tide was high during our stay and the waves were literally crashing on the doorstep of the property. Most visitors would use... More

With waves lapping at the doorstep and a wonderful vista over the beach and onto the Shore Temple, you can't beat this place for location here in Fisherman's Colony... a sea facing room on the second floor and loads of drinking and dining choices all within walking distance makes for a great stay here in Mamalapuram. The owner and hands... More
