    The linen & towels could have been cleaner. We used our bedsheet only hence didn't feel it much though.

    The location & facility is good. Its 5 minute walk to promenade beach & good for evening stroll.Rooms are big & spacious . Very good ventilation too. Parking is there in front of the building & very convenient to park .We carried our electric stove with some utensils & was able to cook for our kid. Owner who stays below is extremely humble & helpful. You open your balcony door & see a 100 year old beautiful church is a bliss

    One of the sides of the property had a Church right behind it, which is using loudspeaker in the morning around, the workers there start cleaning around 4AM and the prayers start around 6:00AM.. It disturbed our sleep The staff was very kind to offer us to change the room to the other side.

    It was spacious and clean. The staff was very kind.

    Suggestion to the management: Information given in the description/listing should be updated time to time Recommendation to visitors: 1. If you want a kitchen, call the property before you finalize the booking as you may end up paying money for using a gas cylinder on daily basis. 2. The management team needs to be quick with their response and action. All clients won't be the same.

    Our stay was exceptional. The staff were welcoming, and the room provided utmost comfort with amenities. The dining experience was a delight, featuring a variety of local cuisine. Huge 2 bedrooms with two king size beds. Located centrally, it was convenient for sightseeing and business. Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

    It might have been a misunderstanding but we had to pay for the room as soon as we arrived in cash, which felt a little odd. Because we ended up mostly visiting White Town, we had to walk the same 15 ish minute route a few times per day, but that isn't the hotel's problem! The best places to eat aren't necessarily located near the hotel, but if you don't mind the walk it's fine.

    We ordered a double room even though there was just two of us. This was an accident, but we're glad we did because we we had a full living room area and kitchen with a fridge which was a pretty good deal considering the price. The hotel is decently placed to walk to all the major attractions. You do have to cross a busy road, but it's totally fine and there are lovely colourful buildings on the road to take pictures of whilst you wait for the busy Indian traffic!

    Parking can be an issue if there are lot of guests with 4 wheelers. but not a huge challenge. the towels need to be replaced as I could feel they are almost worn out.

    the location of the property is apt. though the property design seems a bit weird yet for a traveller who wish to book just to grab a night sleep after a long day of sightseeing, its one of the best option available

    Price of the stay was a bit on the higher side.

    The one bedroom was excellent and kept up to our expectation. Stay was in the centre of the city and accessible to main places. Walkable to the rock beach. Pondicherry is a small city usually can be explored in 4 days but there are famous outlets which can take a little extra days. Overall the experience was ok but nothing like Goa. I never get bored in Goa.

    There were a lot of mosquitos, the room on the ground floor doesn't have any ventilation and there was a smell of paint and dampness in the room.

    The staff was really good and cooperative, meeting all demands and requests. The breakfast was also well prepared. The location was good close to old town.

    Everything, the property is very small, no ventilation and there are mosquitoes everywhere, washrooms are smaller than the one found in the train and equally unhygienic, jet didn't work, no balcony (guess what ? They converted the balcony/utility area into washroom and it opens directly into the kitchen. ) The handwash dispenser was filled with dishwasher liquid and was too dirty to touch. In short this is an overpriced property. Please avoid staying here.

    Worst property ever experienced while travelling, no hygiene, no supportive staff, rude behaviour by the manager.
