Hotel Mamallaa Heritage

Good budget 3* city center hotel. Clean rooms with windows and proper lighting. Group of monuments(Shore temple, Five Rathas and Krishna butterball, Krishna Mandapam, Arrjuna Penance ) and Mahabalipuram beach are at walkable distance. Hotel has a swimming pool and cafeteria. Close to market area.

My stay at Mamalla Heritage Hotel in Mahabalipuram was a delightful experience, combining comfort with a touch of history. The hotel's location is perfect, nestled in the heart of this UNESCO heritage town, making it easy to explore the ancient temples, rock carvings, and scenic beaches. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, offering a relaxed ambiance that perfectly complements the coastal environment. I particularly appreciated the traditional South Indian décor, which added to the charm of the stay. The staff was warm, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable experience. Dining at the hotel was also a treat. The on-site restaurant offered a wide range of South Indian delicacies, and I highly recommend their seafood, which was fresh and flavorful. The breakfast buffet provided a good mix of local and continental options to suit different tastes. The pool area was a pleasant surprise, offering a refreshing escape from the heat after a day of sightseeing. It was well-maintained and a great spot to relax.

We stayed on 16th August nights. Ground floor room (#005) was allotted. Bed was small. We paid for three persons and in the bed bearly two perosns can sleep. We had to manage on a couch for the third person. AC was extremely noisy. Unfortunately could not share the video with sound as video uploading option is not available. Most pathetic part was; room was full of mosquitoes. We literally spent the night without sleeping. My wife is prone to Asthma and we had to keep the mosquito repellent on in maximum for the whole night. Thanks that they provided the same free of cost!! Breakfast (complementary) quality was below standard with very limited options. Please think thrice before booking this hotel as room was extremely unhygenic and risky on heath aspect. However, food quality in both the restaurants (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) were quite good and tasty.

This was a very disappointing experience. Our room on the ground floor was smelly, with tired furnishings, the bathroom wasn’t fully functional, and there was no outlook. However the pool was nice and the hotel was centrally located. If you stay here make sure you get a room on an upper floor overlooking the pool.

Budget place- 4.2k for a family of 3. The ac was working but the intercom wasnt. The sheets were lindted and hence a bit rough but linen was clean for sure. The washroom too was old but well maintained. The reception staff is not very welcoming or smiling or even courteous but they will listen to u if you insist for anything. The extra bed was good stable with a okish mattress but the blanket for the extra bedding was really torn and bad and had to request the staff to change but he didnt hear it and was pestering for tip. Finally we went to the reception to request for the blanket and they did it in first go. The serving staff in the morning breakfast was better and also Jason was quite good. All in all 4 star for budget stay. The best part is that their corner rooms are quite quite spacious.

A welcome relief after spending a night on a night train. Pool and outside area was lovely although they could do with a few more sun loungers and umbrellas. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and service was good. Very centrally based and a calm oasis within the town.
