Fabexpress Santhi Inn

The location worked really well for us: the beach, Aurobindo Asharm, and Manakkula Vinayagar Temple were all walkable. Mission Street shopping, bike rentals, and plenty of restaurants were just outside, including a restaurant in the same building. Our room had a balcony view, AC, TV with Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and a restroom with a geyser. They also provided breakfast, a water bottle, and toiletries. Two adults and our active toddler had a pleasant stay, and it felt like a premium experience for a very affordable price. Thanks, Fabhotel, for your support.

The French-inspired room decor gave FabExpress Santhi Inn a charming look that felt different from a typical hotel. We stayed one night with our family and our five-year-old, and the complimentary late checkout was especially appreciated. It’s rare to get that, and it spared us the usual morning rush so we could take things at an easy pace. A delightful stay from beginning to end.

Food was the highlight for me at Shanthii Inn. The meals were fresh, tasty, and well prepared, breakfast had a good variety, and restaurant service was prompt and courteous. My room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the location close to major attractions made getting around easy. The staff were polite and helpful throughout, so the stay felt smooth and comfortable. I’d recommend it for a relaxing visit and good food.

The rooms were clean and there were no mosquitoes, with many places close enough to reach on foot. But the rooms are small and don’t look like the photos. Breakfast was average, and we waited around 20 minutes, mainly for dosa. Most importantly, there’s no car parking, so we had to leave the car on the main road. The Fab team had told me during booking that parking was available, and I ended up arguing with the hotel management. I feel the Fab team misled me while booking.
