Manchali homestay

I had a wonderful stay at Manchali Homestay. The location is excellent — very close to the temple — which makes it extremely convenient, especially for early morning darshan. The place truly gives a home-like feeling, and the host is exceptional. From the time of booking till the end of the stay, the host is always available to help and even assists with arranging seva tickets if needed. They genuinely treat you like a family member, which makes the experience warm and comforting. One thing to keep in mind: if you’re bringing elderly parents, it’s better to call the owner beforehand. The steps leading to the property might be difficult for older people to climb, and the washrooms are on the smaller side. Other than that, everything was really good and the hospitality stands out. Overall, a comfortable and homely stay — highly recommended for anyone visiting Mantralayam!

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained with all the necessary amenities. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax. What truly made the stay special was the owner’s hospitality. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure every guest felt at home. From quick assistance to thoughtful recommendations about the local area, their personal touch made all the difference. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with exceptional service. Will definitely come back again!

We had a pleasant stay at this homestay in Mantralaya. The rooms were clean, and comfortable, perfect for a short temple visit. The location is good, just in the lane right beside the temple, making it very convenient for darshan. A special mention to the host, Raghavendra, who was extremely helpful and courteous. He arranged a pick-up and drop service from the train station and even helped organize local sightseeing (at an additional cost). He also gave us very useful information about temple timings and darshan procedures, which we truly appreciated. Knowing our strict vegetarian preference, he kindly connected us with a local caterer, which was a thoughtful touch. A couple of things to note, the stairwell leading up to the rooms is quite steep, which might be challenging for senior citizens. Also, the lane leading to the homestay could be cleaner, though this seems to be a general issue in the area. Overall, a very good stay with a wonderful host, ideal for those visiting the Mantralaya temple
