Daphne Hotel

Mahabalipuram

The stay was very comfortable and rooms were very spacious with a balcony and work desk. Wifi is poor but I had carried my own dongle. We went with our pet Indy dog. Even though listing says pet friendly they are not. First they will deny and then if they agree will give you tons of restrictions including dog shouldn’t bark at all. Otherwise the stay was good with access to beach and restaurants nearby. Only two restaurants deliver in Zomato so you are better off getting food by your own from the many options available. Parking is in tie up with another hotel as this hotel doesn’t have parking space. It’s a furlong from the hotel quite large and secure

Pleasant stay but not pet friendly

Simple but spacious and well equipped room, old bathroom, excellent breakfast on the roof terrace. The location is central while being quiet, away from the street.

Nice quiet location, perfect for a visit.

We had a room on the ground floor overlooking a shaded patio. A very large, very clean room. The air conditioning was working perfectly. Two steps from the great temple by the sea and the roaring village. Five stars given the very good price-to-earnings ratio.

Very nice little hotel in Mahabalipuram

We were really pleased with our stay in Hotel Daphne. We took a family room on the second floor. The room was huge, clean and tastefully decorated. It is also very very green. The best part is that the manager goes the extra mile to help each of his guests and they are very very trustworthy. We will definitely like to come back.

Extremely helpful people and beautiful surroundings

Very clean, friendly staff, tastefully appointed rooms a lovely green central courtyard...Our room had beautiful antique furniture, a working air conditioner and comfortable beds. Central location in a quiet by lane. 
Highly recommended

Hotel Daphne

We stayed at Daphne for 1N and the stay was very pleasant. Mr Parthy was helpful from the time I contacted him for booking until we left from the guesthouse.
The ground-floor room that we stayed in was spacious and clean, had mosquito net,ac was working fine. The house has a lot of greenery and so there are mosquitos too. 
The bathroom was basic and does need some some essentials like the jet spray,toilet paper.
The guesthouse is at 5mins walk from the beach, shore temple. The other main sightseeing places are also within 6km radius from the guesthouse. There are cafes and small restuarants on the street adjacent to the  place. 
For South Indian veg meal, you will have to go to the main road which is again at walking distance from the guesthouse. 
Would stay again when we visit Mahabalipuram.



Good budget accomodation

We had a lovely stay here in the delightful small town of Mahabalipuram. We were right at the top in one of the best rooms, large and airy with balcony. The bed was comfortable and we had plentiful hot water. The location was great and just round the corner from Joe’s cafe which does a great breakfast and very good cafe. Daphne’s offers a laundry service as well. The WiFi could be a bit touch and go at the top of the hotel where we were, but we tended to go to Joe’s cafe if we needed a reliable connection. I think it was better on the lower floors of the hotel.

Great value

Our large ground floor room was clean and benefitted from a mosquito net. Breakfast was on the roof and tasty. However, people chatted with doors open until 1.30 am, and their voices echoed loudly around the courtyard, preventing sleep.

Relaxed but noisy

We came here expecting a good stay as recommended by lonely planet. The actually building itself is nice but unfortunately bed bugs meant a restless night. Also the staff were rarely around reception to help. I wouldn’t come here again.

Bed bugs

Really liked this place. Bit of greenery in the courtyard, and very quiet, but at the same time perfectly located for the strip of restaurants etc outside.
Staff very helpful and nice. Mr Parthi organised a taxi to Pondicherry at an amazing rate as they were dropping someone off and would've returned empty otherwise.
Nice big room at a good rate with lots of shelves and a table.
Full mosquito net in my room too, which is a must for me. Note that not all rooms have a net over the bed.
Bathroom a bit basic but fine. Wi-Fi slightly slow but worked in room. OK breakfast service on the roof terrace.
Quite a few backpackers here, so one of the better places for meeting people maybe. A few communal areas to mix in, but not widely used and watch the mosquitoes...
Recommended. Would return.
