“Daphne Hotel strikes me as a practical choice in Mahabalipuram, especially for budget-conscious travelers keen on exploring the area's cultural sites and beaches. The courtyard creates a pleasant, green space, and its location near the beach, shops, and restaurants is a definite advantage; the staff's helpfulness is a further plus. A value-for-money option, in my opinion.”
