This hotel has a advantage of good location. We have taken 2 rooms and both rooms AC did not work properly. I feel the rates are also on the higher side. Very cold breakfast. Bed's are very hard and you may fall from the bed.

Good things first. This property has a great location. And if you can get a sea-facing room with a balcony (its side lane facing, although, the sea is more than open in front diagonally). Neat and clean property. Now the bad things. The double beds are torments. You may just roll off and fall down from an inclined mattress, thanks... More

Four ladies volunteering in Chennai came to Pondicherry for a week end of rest and relaxation. We were greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff in a clean, modern lobby. We each had our own room and bath--luxury for us. Hot water--hooray. The rooms were good sized and had large bathrooms--with showers that had a strong spray of hot water. Out of... More

When i walked in, the staff initially refuse to accept the clear trip voucher as a valid booking saying that it did not contain some booking id which he needed.

Clean rooms, excellent location on the promenade, service needs improvement, it took almost an hour to clean the room so that we could check in. rooms are on the smaller side and few of the don't have a view of the sea. Overall a value for money location for a short stay.

Simon, particularly is very helpful and does not hesitate in giving directions or recommendations in and around pondicherry.

I booked the hotel because of its location. But i had some confusions as well as anxiety after reading the reviews in many websites. So i didnt have much expectations. I booked through online and got some discounts. My check in time was at 12pm and i reached there at 11.50am and our room was ready by that time. We... More

Good ambiance doesn't make it a good hotel. The list of discomfort is too long. Starting with rooms were not ready for occupation even at 1:45 pm; when the check in/out time is 12:00 pm and the booking was done before hand. Ordered for 3 cups of tea for room service and the same never came. Had to call up... More
