With water purifier 👍 Desing, our host was incredibly helpful, taking me on his motorbike to buy a local sim card then to the ATM. Clearly a kind and patient man.

Ruthran Guest House, hotel in Mahabalipuram

A recently renovated property, Ruthran Guest House is located in Mahabalipuram near Pallava Beach, Mahabalipuram Beach.

I was not served Breakfast because there is no cook to come early to cook breakfast. The room is good, location is good but certain amenities are needed for ex bathroom needs an exhaust fan , there is no cloth rod reachable . The present cloth rod for hanging our clothes is just beneath the heater and very small. No night lamp , no mosquito coil . The AC is too small for the room

    The Room was neat and Tidy. The host allowed us for early check in of 9AM and also provided the extension to stay till 5 PM for a reasonable price. The Guesthouse location is situated at a walkable distance for all the Mahabalipuram Tourist Sites. I highly recommend this place to stay with family!!

    Our host, Mani, was superb! He was so welcoming, kind and generous with his time and helped to organise taxis for us. The area was spacious and we felt very comfortable. We would recommend staying here. It was a nice quiet and safe area, with only the sounds of wildlife at night-time.

    Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who gave us good suggestions. Whilst basic, the room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and the beds super comfy. Good, hot shower. A great location in the main restaurant/shops road but quiet at night.
