Hotels Near Monolith Elephant in Kanchipuram

The Rajalaksmi Guesthouse has a great location in the middle of the budget hotel neighborhood. A small street from the back of the hotel goes directly to the beach 100 meters away. The rooms are small and a little worn, but nicely clean. There is a restaurant where they serve good breakfast and a decent lunch and dinner. The staff is friendly and helpful. Not a particularly interesting place, but a reasonable choice if you want a cheap accommodation.

Unprofessional Attitude and Carelessness First of all, this is not a Hotel. It just qualifies for a lodge.I booked through makemytrip and I paid the charges in advance as I was travelling with family including my 7 month old. Before booking the hotel, I called them up about the facilities and basic amenities, and they agreed as mentioned in the website. We checked in on 21st Aug, at around 4pm as I drove from Bangalore. After entering the hotel we found the below issues, The rooms are very basic, and some parts of the furniture are broken which can be overlooked. No problem. The bathroom has no hooks to hang your clothes to towel The hotel has a roof top restaurant which serves only Pizza and Pasta The Room service menu contained a list contains Indian food, but its a lie as they did not provide Unfortunately , it started raining heavily from 7.30pm and the hotel front side was flooded. I called up room Service to order food but no answer I went down to reception to order some Indian food as we wanted to have simple veg rice, sambar etc. but the room service denied help and told me to arrange on my own. When I asked for help as I am not sure about restaurants nearby, and it was raining heavily, he immediately switched to Tamil and pretended not to understand anything I searched andwent down to a restaurant and brought food for my wife and myself, after walking through heavy rain and flood, on my own. The restaurant was around 400m away and the owner packed the food nicely. If the RAMAKRISHNA room service could have helped me a little, but NO. Also, the hotel was mostly empty, because I think others have experienced the similar fate, and thus the room service were idle, and they could have helped. I am really sad about the inhuman nature of the people in the hotel ’THE RAMAKRISHNA’ THE RAMAKRISHNA’ does not qualify to be a hotel. It is just a lodge I am sorry to have booked that hotel through make my trip. You get the same rooms for 1000 if you book in the hotel, and also there are adjacent hotel for Rs. 499, Rs. 899 etc This Lodge is NOT family friendly We checked out next morning at 9am and checked in to another HOTEL as the E Raja Street. We lost money in Ramakrishna, but that’s not the point. We got angry and frustrated during Vacation, and a bad memory associated with the place forever I will come back to this beautiful place again, but never book at the ‘RAMAKRISHNA’ again

Clean room, warming hospitality by michael, delicious seafood. This is a hotel i recommend for all who wish to have a memorable time in mamallapuram

I loved this hotel the second I arrived at check-in. The front desk staff were very helpful and quite smoothly checked me in I even asked for some soft drink cans for my room and they almost immediately provided it. I admit I was at first sceptical as my air conditioning didn't work on my first night. They sent out an engineer 2 sort it and it seemed OK. However the next morning the same issue happened again and the same engineer came out again and resolved it and it worked smoothly after that. Far as the rest of my stay went the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet that I ate once were of an excellent standard which I would recommend, especially as the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. On two other nights I ordered room service too which was very prompt and also of excellent standard. So all in all I would definitely come back here again as this hotel has the highest level of hospitality I have ever seen

I highly recommend this place for families with children. The location is excellent and the ambience is extraordinary. The resort's theme is Rajasthani and is very well-maintained. The hospitality and food are good, although there are a lot of flies, which can be a bit bothersome. The resort has a swimming pool suitable for children of all ages, but please be cautious as the pool area can get slippery. The resort also offers daily programs which are posted near the reception area to keep everyone entertained. It's not just a place to stay for the night, but a great spot to spend quality time with your family and relax.

Very interesting place to stay. A simulated village with livestock surrounded by rice paddies. Interesting activities, including pottery, target practice. A pool, which we saw people enjoying but did not do ourselves. The evening entertainment was amazing - a Tamil folk dance troupe including rhythmic drumming. There was a school group and parents with children. I think city living Tamils bring their children here as a Tamil cultural experience. At first, it seemed cheesy but you have to let yourself get into it and then you find it very enjoyable. Good very reasonable meals.

I can’t believe that more people haven’t found this gem of resort just 50 mins out of Chennai. This 1970s style Ideal beach resort hotel, offers a stunning beach view and the best ever cooling breeze beneath the big permanent umbrellas with great beach side drinks service. You can literally look at the view, the goings on or read a book for hours without moving, the breeze just makes it perfect. Don’t let the retro look put you off, the staff are wonderful and the chefs are amazing. We choose to eat vegetarian whilst there and both the veg kebabs were excellent as were the dried cauliflower and dried potato dishes. This restaurant though has many talents we also tried noodle dishes and freshly made spring roles at dinner and beautiful kiwi or mango muffins and banana cake for breakfast ***** with superb normal Indian cuisine. This venue is used for conferences and there was one on whilst we were there, it didn’t cause us any issues in fact it enhanced my experience as I enjoy people watching and it was great to hear the enthusiasm for their team building exercises. Just a 350 rupee taxi ride into town to see the 7th Century stone temples, Krishnas butterball and the Arjuna’s Penance carving. If you need a couple of nights chill away from the hassle and bustle of life and are happy to have some space, check it out, it really is Ideal and good value for money. A very special thank you to the young Nepalese lady who welcomed us to our meals and kindly phoned me of a morning to ensure our jet lag meant we didn’t miss breakfast so polite and a smile that made us feel very welcome.

Life is good here of course we faced ac in the room is not working and had trouble all ***** the night. We informed staff. They are helpful but could not able to solve it the hotel is clean and very nicely managed
