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.

"Overall, a great stay with excellent service and location.. + I recently stayed at white house beach stay for a weekend and overall, it was a great experience. The hotel’s location is perfect – just a short walk to the beach and local shops. The lobby is beautifully decorated. The check-in process was smooth, and the front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. My room was spacious, with a large comfortable bed, modern amenities, and a stunning view of the ocean. However, the bathroom could have been clean & neat.. Overall, I’d highly recommend White house beach stay for its excellent service, beautiful facilities, and fantastic location. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

The place becomes home right away: spacious, calm, with all you need in very good quality and nicely decorated. The plastic covers of the mattresses mentioned in another review have been removed, the sleep was great. Location: If you want the „hustle and bustle“ of tourists and its industry all around you, this is the wrong place: you will find a quiet family stay to relax and to meet South Indian hospitality at its best - right beside the 5 Pathas temple and a 15 minutes walk away from the bus stop/center. Hospitality and service: discretion and respect as much as you like. If you want to however, you will find an open heart and - no exaggeration - be part of the family right away. We met lots of nice people, played with children, tried delicious food and learned as much about the life of locals as you can if you want to. Whatever you wish, they will try to make ends meet. The only thing you will want after saying goodby is to return the favour somehow.

    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
