This is an Ashram. Good value for the Rupee. Facilities are nice by Indian standards. Located in a neighborhood far from the touristy area, not central, but accessible by the cheap city bus system. Not at all easy to find, but the locals will point the way and there is a clear sign on the wall. For anything beyond the basics, you pay extra - they have a clear price list. Forget the washer - clothes still dirty and sopping wet, so I didn't pay. Most importanly, filter water & WIFI is free.

Possibly, if WiFi connection could be extended to all rooms, it will be nice. Also, if water cans can be kept on each floor, it will help.

Dear Mr.Merlin Thanks for your kind review We are really sorry about the inconvenience happened You left the key with our system in the late night we came to know that only when our Operating system crashed of the virus in the USB and safely given to our staff to return it to you you were sleeping all the day and the next day you came and asked for it while you are in emergency to leave, the day is off for our staff who had the key with him and we tried our level best to make him come and also he came once you left the place then he also searching for you in the bus station and we keep on calling your number which is switched off, what we could do in that case, we got your message and try to send a guy to give it to you in mamallapuram in the guest house where you have been but he is unable to find it out, if you are still in India, send your address we are ready send it to you by a parcel and also i would like to remember one thing...you didn't paid for your stay here, as i wanted to get from you only after giving back your key....of course we know other than this thing you had a very nice time....looking forward your arrival again and do understand its nor our mistake either, we have let you to use our computer and you left the key by mistake and giving a statement that we behaved bad....thanks for that

The approach to the Hotel is bad, in terms of it being located a bit off the main road. But this is a definite value for money! Extremely clean room and white sheets. There is a computer room with access to internet and printers, There is also a kitchen (i did not use it) which you are free to use. And it is 10 min walk to the beach. The restaurants around were mainly non-vegetarian but some vegetarian places around are Balaji tiffin centre, the restaurant in Hotel Sarguru.

A very basic stay, a small room without a view and littel ventilation, the fan was to noisy, so have a good ear-wax with you. There is nothing to complain concerning cleaness and friendlyness of the crew. Frank and Wa from Berlin, together with more than 140 years life experience

The place is very nice if you are looking for a quiet stay and a pleasant company, the location is about half an hour walking distance from the french area but is a nice walk also is on the way to Auroville so it can turn out to be convenient. The staff is very kind and they’re more friends than staff and the people you meet there are not the drunk kind of person is more the people with a lot of interesting stuff to say. Hardly recommended!!!

We got everything that we expected for the prices paid. The room was very clean and even the towers were provided. Also I was surprised that there is wifi connection and pc room! The location is also very comfortable it is just 15 min walk from promenade.
