Squirrel Nest Guest House, hotel in Mahabalipuram

Squirrel Nest Guest House is set on the seafront in Mahabalipuram, a few steps from Pallava Beach and 1.2 km from Mahabalipuram Beach.

Location is beautiful and Madhavan was very helpful and kind. Only issue we faced was access to vegetarian food near by and coffee tea shop. We had to walk a km to get them. Rest everything was great.

Yogi home stay, hotel in Mahabalipuram

Situated within 60 metres of Pallava Beach and 1.2 km of Mahabalipuram Beach, Yogi home stay provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mahabalipuram.

The service and the location. I was provided with everything I needed. The manager of Yogi home stay was so kind and helpful. Just like a friend. If there is something you want to know or want help with just ask him. That was the most important for my experience here. The location is very good. Very near the beach and restaurants and shops. The facilities were good and the room was clean. A little Quiet Homestay with good service I recommend if you don’t want resorts or other places were it can be noisy. I would come here again if I visit Mamallapuram.

    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.
