                stay was value for money”

                it is a budget hotel. expectations need to be medium..we stayed for three nights. the room service was good. we requested for extra bathroom towels bed sheets and floor mats as adequate numbers were not provided. they have provided them. Bathrooms are average. but hotwater was available all the time.

                reception staff and one waiter thats all I see good and helpful

                Very bad experience. The reception staff was very good and pleasing. Main thing is that its not at all clean when we check in I found the room unclean also few things from the last guest were kept there like empty bottle of soft drink n few other things also I find that there is only one waiter in complete hotel n one cleaning staff. They say breakfast is free but for my surprise after my breakfast one of the staff comes to my room n ask the money for tea which we had with breakfast and when I said that I have free breakfast offered by the hotel when I book he said to me smiling " breakfast is free sir but tea is charged".

                big rooms, good travel desk

                We traveled as 5 senior ladies to Pondicherry. Going by the reviews, the hotel seemed to be a good choice. It was, but a bit far from the city centre and markets. The rooms were a good size and fairly comfortable. We booked for an Innova with the Hotel and the service was very good.
