The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

The location is decent and the home is beautiful. It was even bigger and more spacious than I thought it would be. Of course, the best thing about this home is that it is a home. Mani, the host of the home is *always* available for help with anything, even by phone. He helped us with recommendations of where to go, organised tuk tuks to come and pick us up further in town, and generally is a friendly face you will see at least once a day if not more. The rooms are super stylish and comfortable. There is a lot of ventilation and AC which helps keep it cool in the home. On top of that, there is wildlife around - a frog even ventured into our room at one point (but it rest assured, it was very friendly and kept it's distance).

I didn’t have breakfast or food at Vinodhara as I met a friend at another hotel and we ate in various other places in Mahabalipuram. The staff were really friendly and helpful and accommodating. There were no issues with booking the taxi at 3am to Chennai airport, everything ran smoothly. My room was basic but I had absolutely everything I needed: a comfy bed, a bathroom with hot water and a shower with good flow and a fan

    Great host who speaks English and arranged a well priced tour to the amazing archaeological sites for us. The room was clean and everything worked. The location is well away from the noisy streets and only steps from the beach. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance, including local ones on the main road. Good value for money
