Nice
Location is very near the beach
Ok

Super
Nice place. Very friendly staff. Close to restaurants and beach.
I think they can make it a much better looking and cosier place if they maintain the terrasses much better.

Die Fotos haben mit dem Zimmer nicht übereingestimmt. Es war schrecklich und wir sind nicht eingezogen.
Gute Lage Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber und Personal.
Der Ventilator funktionierter nur auf höchster Stufe.
The location is great and the staff is very helpful
Everything is good location is near beach
Location perfekt , price - perfect for what we expected
Noisy outdoor. Not as the booking said with what’s in the premesis
L'emplacement et la gentillesse de l'accueil
This is a nice budget guest house with very helpful staff. It's not 5 star but that is reflected in the price - it is great value for money. The guest house has great potential to make fabulous outdoor seating areas in the future. Raj Kumar, booked a rickshaw for us and he also helped us with a personal issue. We are extremely grateful to him. The location is spot on being in a vibrant area and very close to the major attractions and a good selection of restaurants. If you are in the market for reasonably priced accommodation it is a great option. We highly recommend.
At first we were a bit concerned about no mossie netting on the windows but this didn't prove to be a problem as they use traditional methods to repel the mossies effectively.
hotel & staff good person well done 👍 excellent
The rooms very very spacious and clean. The staff was very good and the location too
Lo staff è stato davvero eccezionale, disponibili e pronti a venire incontro alle nostre richieste. Persone davvero rare che meritano per il loro impegno e dedizione al lavoro. La posizione era davvero ottima per i nostri spostamenti. Ci hanno fornito un bollitore e il resto per farci del tè e del caffè. Ci hanno fatto tenere le borse in casa fino al nostro rientro dal sito archeologico.
Purtroppo le lenzuola non erano pulite al nostro arrivo e la stanza non sembrava emanare un buon odore. Però ci hanno cambiato immediatamente lenzuola e fodera dei cuscini. Quindi comunque si sono subito prodigato a venire incontro alle nostre richieste.
Nothing was there to like
They took payment in advance by saying if we'll pay in advance then only they can give assurance. After reaching there they showed 3rd class room then asked 1000Rs. extra. The guest gouse was govt lodge/dharamshala. There was no gym, cycling area as sgowed in picture. Property is not connected to beach its 300 mtrs far from the beach. Since we paid the amount in advance for 2 nights, so we had to stay, 3rd we changed the hotel and sgifted to the beach side property in lesser amount what we paid at Raj Kumar guest house. Totally rubbish owner, for the basic aminities like toilet( it was not working)he asked to upgrade the room. In fact, its a plan to show this specific room only, so visiyors will ask to upgrade because everybody needs toilet should work fine. There was wetern toilet seat but without gun to wash. Means we hv to use the seat only then we have to wash at ground through boucket water. Idiots...
The location was centric
I stayed here 2 nights and was very disappointed. The accomodation looked like it had never been maintained Super old and rusty The room was smelly, the blankets maybe for long time not washed. The whole night there were constantly mechanical sounds probably from AC from other rooms. Our AC was also super old and smelling. As I touched the blanket, there was a cockroach coming from it I really don't understand what for you charge 2.000 rupees per day and how possible this guest house has 8 stars at booking. I stayed in different places in India but the cleaning standards were much higher.
Соответствует цена качество. Очень душевный и отзывчивый персонал. При любом обращении сразу же реагировали, не оставляли без внимания любую просьбу. Попросили в номер чайник. Нам купили чайник и принесли вместе с пачкой чая, молоком и сахаром. Так же очень хорошее расположение. В нескольких шагах от моря. Рекомендую останавливаться в этом отеле.
Good location budget rooms near to the beach just walking to minutes on the beach value for money
The location and the management. The place felt like home! So helpful

Cleanliness
The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The bed was cozy, and the room was well maintained with all basic amenities. Housekeeping did a great job, and the overall ambience was calm and relaxing. I had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this guest house. It's very comfortable for the family.

Ausstattung, Sauberkeit, Lage, Preis. Alles Super
Host was very good and made us feel comfortable during our stay providing all the necessary amenities.
I did not check in at the property after looking at the premises. I felt it was unsafe to stay with family. The premises were not clean and stinking. Rooms were not as per the pictures provided in site. Half half pics were posted in the site and rooms did not have anything to keep luggage. Just one bed provided. Owner of the property was threatening me how can you say its unsafe and fake pics posted. Overall worst experience.
Photos are deceiving. It does not match to the actual position at the hotel. Check properly and then book.
Rien
Pas de douche, un seau seulement, très sale, des draps troués, un ventilateur qui ne marche qu'à fond ou pas du tout, des branchements électriques défaillants partout, vraiment, ne vous fiez pas aux photos et passez votre chemin !
Good
Little flexible check out and check in time would do better
Break fast
T V not charged. Hot water long time wait and not that hot
Location is okay close to main attraction this is budget hotel do not expect anything in terms of view or luxury best pot is that for a family rooms tariff is very low rooms are all good we walk easily to show temple and butterball

The very helpful staff. The location everything was close by

I have travelled from Dubai to Chennai ...a friend has suggested this guest house..and it's worth staying...they arranged pick up from airport and the hospitality was wonderful...place is neat and clean and the staff are polite and friendly..it's just 2m walkable from beach amd location is cozy and calm...shops are nearby and the breakfast they provided was tasty ..they even have bike and rentals ..over all its combo and comfy stay
Great location near the beach. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Overall had a great stay.
Staff knd and helpful. Very good breakfast either indian othet than Continental style with toast eggs and jam. Room clean and quiet. good position
Everything clean but even if washed the sheets still have some stains. All othet things perfect
The room was clean and well-maintained, which made the stay comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and easy to access. The value for money was good, offering a pleasant stay at a fair price.
The limited facilities left room for improvement.
Un peu sombre. Ça doit être un avantage lorsqu'il fait très chaud.
Lo staff è molto gentile e disponibile, Rajkumar è sempre pronto a rispondere ai tuoi bisogni. Posizione ottima
Purtroppo ci sono molte zanzare, anche se la stanza ha ha dispozione aria codizionata e ventilatore
L'emplacement est idéal. L'accueil et la disponibilité du responsable. La chambre est simple mais propre.
Location is great. Room is large, and would be comfortable if the issues were fixed
Even though I'd booked I wasn't expected. Then I was asked to pay more for AC (which I'd already paid for). And then I was asked to cancel the booking so that they could save the GST. There was no top sheet, and I had to ask twice to get toilet paper. When I wanted to go out at 7:30 am everything was locked, and I had to send a WhatsApp message to get out. There was no hot water (the tap handle had been removed). I asked for breakfast at 8:30, but at that time there was no breakfast and no one around (and there was a dead rat in the breakfast area, still there from the previous afternoon). Two hours later I was told that there was "an issue" preparing breakfast
We have reached the Property around 11:30 PM At night after landing at Chennai Airport and they were continuously following up with us regarding our location. Room is Quiet and walking distance from beach. They have arranged car for pickup and drop
Staffs to be trained , Mineral water availability should be there
Very clean and courteous staff. Car parking available. Near the beach and lots of restaurants. The breakfast also was good.
The outside signage made me miss the place. So that could have been clear. The sit out area is good, but could have been more inviting
The location was very close to centre and main attractions there are lots of small shops and good dining options next to the hotel the staff is very friendly and arrangement of tour was offend this guest house having bike rentals also we are going in the monuments visiting
All good 😊
Vše bylo výborné. Moc se mi líbil velice ochotný přístup majitele který mi po domluvě umožnil check in v pozdějších hodinách. Také mi obstaral donášku večeře z místní restaurace přímo na pokoj. Pokoj byl velice prostorný čistý a nic potřebné v něm nechybělo. Snídaně byla indického stylu a byla moc výborná, taktéž s donáškou až na pokoj a v mnou stanoveném čase.
The Location is very nice near the beach and restaurant rooms are very clean. I'm with my family with kids feel safe and comfortable, very caring Stuff, breakfast is very good, Sure I recommend for family stay. Sure. We will come back again.
Great Stay

The location of the property is excellent. The owner was very accommodating and suggestive for providing the best experience. Perfect budget friendly stay
I stayed here as a single traveler and had a really good experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable for one person. It had everything I needed — a good bed, clean bathroom, and peaceful surroundings. The view from the place is beautiful, especially in the morning and evening. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy some quiet time. The location is also convenient, with nearby attractions and local food options. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to other solo travelers looking for a peaceful and pleasant place to stay.

I had a very pleasant stay at this guest house. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The service was excellent, and the staff were kind and helpful. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! Don't think just go and enjoy... Just a 2 minute walk will reach the beach. It is nearby to the famous Butterball, Lighthouse and Five rathas.
I highly recommend (Rajkumar Guest house) because of its clean and comfortable rooms, top-notch amenities, and attentive staff suresh. Parking -5/5 Services 5/5 Room cleanness -5/5 Overall best guest house and I would recommend my friends and family 🤩
Nothing everything is perfect as expected.
The location is bang in the middle of a happening street amid shops, restuarants and the beach. Seashore temple is walkable from here. It's not a luxurious property but manager Raj Kumar will ensure safety so would recommend it for solo travelers as well. There are common spaces where you can sit and work, read etc.
The rooms are part of another building without a proper reception or frontage and so it might seem a little unsafe that's the only minus.
