Despite a thumbs-up from Lonely Planet there's nothing particularly appealing about this central locale. The hip-hop, or whatever name this concussive music bears today, booms from a little restaurant across the street. Add to that, a fairly unfriendly staff and your best bet might be to look elsewhere.

The hot water and the shower were great. The bed were clean and comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly. It's in a great spot, right in the middle of all the restaurants and shopping. I recommend trying the crepes across the road, nutella and banana! are best. More

Our last stop in our three month India trip - this hotel was fairly standard for India. Bed was firm but not rock hard, linens clean. A/C worked well with two fans in our room. Location was quick walk to beach and tourist shops - not a lot open in Mamallapuram in May. Staff was helpful to arrange taxi to... More

When we stayed in October 2010 the rooms were 400 - 700rps per room. The price and quality are fine and perfectly ok for travellers. It`s a good budget address. More

This guesthouse was low quality but was a very cheap price. We were not provided with towels and had to ask for some bedsheets. The room was grubby but did have a tv and attached bahroom. Looking around there were much better guesthouses around. Look around. More

The Siva Guest House is located in the heart of the Mahabalipuram tourist area, just right for the shops and restaurants the town has to offer. We booked a non-AC room for our 3 night stay and found it to be very clean with a comfortable bed and at an attractive price. Hot water isn’t available from the shower but... More
