Hotel Mamalla Inn

This hotel is the worse hotel I have ever stayed in. It was filthy. it’s a building site. There was building materials everywhere and there is a huge hole in the wall which is full of water. Apparently they are installing a lift. There was dirty furniture in the reception area. There was rubbish everywhere, old furniture, electrical cables hanging out of the walls. The bedroom was also dirty. Dirty floor. Filthy bathroom, no toiletries No safe, No fridge Kettle but no cup, nor tea bags, coffee. There was a balcony, Air con and a Ceiling Fan There was a big bed, which was comfortable However, no top sheet on the bed. There was a bottom sheet and a quilt with no cover, so how many people have slept under that quilt with no change of covering…? Scary to think about it. Wardrobe- dirty on the inside - No hangers. Disgusting How are they allowed to get away with it. Staying there as part of a group so in effect I could not go elsewhere.

I recently stayed at Mamalla Inn in Mahabalipuram and had a disappointing experience. Despite the high price, the quality of the room was poor. The room wasn't cleaned properly, and the bathroom tiles were soiled. The breakfast was particularly underwhelming, resembling the low-quality fare you'd expect from street vendors. Additionally, while online prices appeared reasonable, they charged a much higher rate due to the weekend. Overall, it did not offer good value for the cost. It seems that Mamalla Inn's Google reviews might not reflect the true quality of the experience. Based on my stay, the room was not clean, the bathroom tiles were soiled, and the breakfast was subpar, resembling street food. Despite online reviews suggesting otherwise, my personal experience didn't match the positive feedback. The high weekend rates also didn't justify the poor quality.

We booked two rooms for an overnight stay. Whilst staff were polite at reception and the rooms weren't expensive (3500inr each), I definitely would not stay there again. Lacked maintenance and feels old. The rooms were clean but basic. Whilst there was AC, we ended up having to disconnect the plug as it wouldn't turn off. The bathroom was clean but felt old and in need of renovation. WiFi was available but catastrophic. Electricity cuts were numerous. Breakfast was included and had both Indian and Continental. However, felt more like old food reheated. Continental option was more than basic. Restaurant decor was old and not pleasant - staff not particularly helpful or approachable.
