Hotels in the city - in such a small town - abound. Basically, they focus on Otavaday Street Street, which is literally meters 100 from the Oil Bowl of Krishna and other attractions. Most of the sphere of housing of the city is represented by hotels, but there are a number of guest houses with lower prices (I would even say with very low prices). Since the village is small, then to the beach in most cases, almost hand to file. True, it is worth remembering that the Bengal Bay is, in fact, the open ocean, which is why the waves are constantly raging. And here are the best accommodation options in Mahabalipuram.
Grande Bay Resort and Spa Mamallapuram 4 *
Immediately start with pretty. This is a pretty hotel complex with 40 rooms, a clean large swimming pool, restaurant and green lawn. It is located on the road from the city, but to the main objects - not far (maybe a kilometer or like that). This is perhaps the best version of the city: white villas, white modern felting furniture, new stylish plumbing, beautiful territory, smart and responsive staff. For a short time to feel like a WP person in such a place! Of the minuses - of course, a higher price (including on food in a restaurant). By the way, sometimes a buffet is canceled due to a small number of guests at the hotel. The beach is just 200 meters away.IDEAL BEACH RESORT 4 *
This hotel is even more removed from the attractions - in this case, to all the most interesting about 4.5 kilometers. The hotel, first of all, impresses the beautiful a la colonial furniture - headboard with "curls", semicircular balconies. All 70 rooms are located in a long double-storey building that surrounds the green lawn. Little side by side - a very good beach with sun canopies, seating, tables (beach towels are issued). But there is no sun beds (although they give hammocks instead). The territory is purest; In the restaurant delicious diverse food; The personnel are friendly (sometimes even give gifts before leaving and feed the last dinner for free). While the hotel has a spa, where they make a good Ayurvedic massage. But the manicure does not recommend doing there. Of the minuses of the hotel - except, unstable Wi-Fi (although they are free). Well, and the absence of a Russian TV channel, if at all at least somehow critically critical for you. In general, everything in this complex has a calm and measured rest. Even more expensive than Grande Bay Resort.
Hotel Daphne Beach Front
This hotel is almost on the beach, meters 150 from the temples. The hotel overlooks the beach - and maybe not the most pleasant, because it is boats and trash. And so - beautiful, surf, sunsets, all things. Alas, dirt on the beach is a big problem for the town. The hotel itself is many times easier than previous two hotels, but many times cheaper.
And it is much less - there are only 8 rooms that are located in a white two-storey a little battered building. The most simple room interior (some beds are even without a headboard), tiled floor, spacing plumbing, but the rooms are spacious, the ceilings are high, the rooms have fans. There are hot water interruptions; The room has no phone, there is no "soap-fish" accessories in the bathroom. At the same time, it all looks not scary, and a certain comfort reigns at the hotel. In addition, it is cheap, and for example, for one or two nights it will come down.
SILVER MOON GUEST HOUSE
The guest house will probably be a little more comfortable than the previous option, besides, it stands about the same. Cheap. Located on Otavaday Street, 50 meters from the beach. Pure, with cozy balconies, with 11 small numbers, over the design of which the owners clearly thought (looks cute). You can eat right there - a good selection of vegetarian food.
Excellent service, cute owners, excellent cleaning (although some tourists come rapid to clean). It will help to organize a taxi to the airport for an adequate price and find accompanying if you want to get to other places in the vicinity. The only minus is a noisy fan (without earless you can not do).
Confluence Banquets and Resort 4 *
This hotel is located on the other side of the canal, but it's all half an hour on foot or 5 minutes by taxi to the attractions of the town. Prices in it, of course, are not the lowest. In the complex, a series of adjacent, but with different inputs of two-storey unpretentious villas with a small lawn before entering. One common large swimming pool with sun beds around the perimeter. There is a gym, a banquet room, a restaurant with the tables by the pool. The interior in the rooms is definitely pleasing - everything is simple, but elegant. Plus, very attentive staff, everything you need in shower, cleanliness, order, improvement at the level and silence. So, from the minuses - except that, not a central location, but what tranquility! Ideal in order to relax from Indian noise and a gama of resort cities and how to sleep.Rajalakshmi Guesthouse.
This is not the cheapest guest house, but quite cute (and not expensive, in general). A pretty gest with 13 spacious rooms is in close proximity to everything interesting. In the rooms, tiled light floor, good-quality beds covered with colorful bedspreads, not less colorful curtains and tablecloth on the table, and, which is very pleased - a very worthy plumbing. Beautiful small dining room on the terrace, good-natured owners, cleanliness. There is no conditioner, but there is a ceiling fan.
Hotel Mamallaa Heritage 3 *
Prices at this hotel are twice as lower than in Grande Bay Resort and Ideal Beach. And, nevertheless, it's very good here. Of course, not as there, but still. Rooms are withstanding in strict gray-white tones (some cheaper - in stupid red); There is a small pool with sun beds around the perimeter, a cozy dining room. The hotel has 43 rooms - all this fits in a three-storey building of the letter G.
Plus, the ideal location is right next door to all ancient objects, and it is not necessary to go far. That is, pleases the view from the window on the ruins of temples. Of the minuses - the Internet is only at the reception, a very noisy doppople air conditioner, no smoking area and a little old furniture in some rooms.
