8/10 Very Good

This is probably the best accommodation we saw in the town itself. It was brightly lit and easy to find. The streets around the hotel are dirty but probablly no more dirty than anywhere in India. I cant blame the hotel for thet. The staff here are very helpful and courteous. I enjoyed my stay here and would not hesitate to reccomend it to anyone. There are a few nice restaurants next to the hotel where you can get a beer and some wine.

Super helpful staff
We stayed 1 night. The person at the check-in was super helfpful. He showed us another room when we asked to get something away from the street. We ended up in the room overlooking the street and did not have trouble with noise at all. Clean well decorated room, clean bathroom. The person at the check in helped us a lot of information about ways to explore mahabalipuram, how to get to chennai next day, where to eat etc. Also showed us a shortcut to go to the music festival on the beach. We were also able to keep our luggage next day after checking-out. location is very close to the beach connected to the fisherman colony. The shore temple beach is also not very far. many eateries walking distance.

Convenient but disappointing
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful but the condition of the hotel let it down. It was filthy. The bathroom was disgusting, dirty and smelly. The sheets were sticky and the cover on the bed was dirty (obviously hadn't been washed). I had travelled for 2 weeks in India before this hotel so used to conditions.

Good, comfortable hotel; friendly staff
Staff were friendly and helpful; the room we got was good, but the air conditioning was stuck on gale force. Luckily, it was fine to use just the ceiling fans, though in hotter months, this might have been a problem. The wifi was okay, but you need a code which is good for 650MB and two connections - which was a problem, since we were uploading all our pictures, so kept running out, and needing new codes. Breakfast wasn/t included, but there are lots of places nearby to visit. I don't really understand why they don't make use of the restaurant on the roof, though - it could be a lovely place to sit. Instead, it's an sadly underused and neglected space.

Decent clean hotel- Average amenities and decor
A no frills budget hotel. You basically get what you pay for. At its cheap rate, you get a small clean room. The Internet wasn't working the night I was staying. I don't know if it's because of the rains. There wasn't hot water either. But keep in mind the low hotel rate. That's the biggest plus. The front desk gentlemen were very nice. From my experience I would strongly suggest staying in Chennai and just coming out in Mamallapuram for the day and heading back to chennai for the night. Better option and value of hotels there rather than in Mahabalipuram which is essentially a tiny town.

Great stay here
We arrived around 2am, but were greeted at the gate- quite a welcome sight. Staff was helpful and courteous. I enjoyed the layout of the facility- our room was on the third floor with a shared open deck. The room is small/cozy, but it and furnishings had a pleasant quality to them. Some mosquitoes made their way into the room, maybe through the bathroom fan, but this was a common occurrence in our travels. Its a small town, so Ramakrishna is close to everything. I would stay here again.

The best part of this hotel is that it is placed in prime location of mahabalipuram, the hotel staff was good ready to help us anytime, we reached hotel 1 hour prior to checkin time though we were allowed to accomodate inside, hotel rooms were neat n clean , I surely recommend my friend about hotel Ramakrishna if someone is looking for budged hotel in the prime location of mahabalipuram.

Excellent location
The hotel is only a hundred metres from the beach and in the midst of the action, right by the fishermens' village and next to restaurants etc. Shore temple, 5 Rathas, Arjuns penance etc all within easy walking distance We loved Mammalapuram and the hotel Ramakrishna is excellent value for money. The beds are very comfortable. Bathroom is funtional if basic and cleanliness was average. We actually stayed there on two occasions and the staff were very accomodating and helpful.

We had three days at the Ramakrishna hotel and it always felt welcoming and safe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the location was excellent. Close to beach and busy streets, the hotel had all one needed and furthermore it was easy to get to the wonderful temple sites.

Good budgetish hotel
It is what it says it is on its website which is rare. Above all its clean , nice beds and bedding and clean a decent bathroom. For hot water keep it running for 5 mins but it come s through. In truth 1200 rupees + tax isn't really budget but it not bad for a decent place in a tourist town. NIce pace for a soft landing if you have just arrived in India.

Just one negative against plenty of positiv points
First at all: Awesome staff (helped to organize a simcard, which is not easy for european cause you need a permanent address and someone who calls with the company cause there english is worse) and they didn't ask more money like we saw in different places before and after. To the hotel: Nice located, away from mainroad and sightseeing stuff reachable in 5-10minuits walk, beach 2minuts. equipped with a nice looking restaurant (didn't used it why ever) and nice and clean rooms. Only negativ point is that the shower has a really low pressure and the water smells sometimes like sea but we heard from other people that they have the same problem in there hotel). I would stay there 100% when i go another time to Mahabalipuram
