Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located at the center of Pondicherry, making it a must-visit property for anyone planning to explore the city. The rooms are acceptable, although there were some issues like moldy smells and hairs in the tub. The staff, however, were really sweet and helpful. The air conditioning system turning on when one leaves the room in the old part may be inconvenient.
The hotel offers below-average rooms that may not meet expectations. However, the value for money is noticeable. The service is a mix of helpfulness and disorganization. The location is convenient for exploring Pondicherry, with nearby attractions accessible. The dining experience is inconsistent, with some tasty options available. Facilities are decent but not exceptional.
The hotel offers very good rooms, but some were dirty. The WiFi, especially for a large hotel, was poor. Despite facing the street, the rooms were comfortable and spacious. The service was courteous and prompt, although some employees were lukewarm to feedback. The location was reasonably good, although not very clean and had mosquitoes around the food. The dining experience was good with a decent spread of South Indian dishes, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, a mixed but acceptable experience for the price.
