I had a wonderful time at The Rajalakshmi Guesthouse and would highly recommend it. Everyone was very kind and friendly and made me feel at home. They were very lovely and helpful to me. The building itself is quite nice in my opinion, and my room was clean and comfortable. They provided a padlock and key. They have some gentle, sweet and friendly dogs. And lots of crows in the area that give a kind of magical vibe. Just make sure you have data on your phone.

Great place really close to the beach. We got an upstairs room which look recently refurbished so clean and comfortable with good AC. Helpful staff with bus and other questions. Bit quiet but think that was the whole town in general.

We received a warm welcome and were made to feel at home by the owner. The AC rooms are much nicer than the downstairs ones with fresh paint and updated bathrooms. A comfortable, pleasant and well located guesthouse.
