Loved the staff and room and location. Comfy bed too

The restaurant ride outside bedroom door brought noise at night and morning but nothing too bad... Just aware of it and their early morning set up moving tables etc

A short but exceptional stay…

10.0

The hotel is beautiful and it is located in a convenient area of Pondicherry. The room I stayed in was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the decor was charming. All facilities at the hotel were great and the staff are all so welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was like being looked after by your friends. It was superb. Oh, and the Dosa at breakfast was so good I had to order an extra one!

I only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t stay for long enough!

Nice hotel - very nice location, rooms are a bit outdated

8.0

Nice authentic hotel in the center of old town. Very nice restaurant with good vibes and nice food. Everything is in walking distance - promenade and all the nice restaurants

Rooms are outdated, and beds are not so comfortable but because of the location it is worth it.
