Pros:

Le lit était très confortable. Le petit balcon très appréciable. Le personnel extrêmement gentil et attentionné. Le petit déjeuner très bon et copieux. L'emplacement idéal.
Notre départ de Pondichery était prévu à 20h. Notre hôte nous a gentiment gardé nos bagages jusqu'au départ et nous a permis de revenir attendre notre taxi sur leur rooftop.

Nice and enjoyable stay
Pros:

Clean, well decorated, room was a good size, attentive and responsive staff. Continental breakfast was limited. But could request for South Indian breakfast which is purchased from a good restaurant and is reasonable. Close location to beach and historical town with many eating places.

Cons:

Nothing to note

Great spot in Pondy old town
Pros:

Great little hotel in the heart of the old French part of Pondy and meters from the beach. We stayed here for 3 nights in Nov-25 and Sharmila and all the staff were amazingly helpful and prepared continental as well as Indian breakfast at our request. Highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

Room was a little small and beds a bit too short as I am tall but not a big issue as the room was clean and comfortable.

Okayish but not value for money
Pros:

The location is close to beach and all nice cafes and joints.
Good hospitality, breakfast was awesome.
Room was spacious and beds very comfy.
Rating 7 only for good location and good breakfast.

Cons:

Property is in need of maintenance and i guess some maintenance was ongoing during our stay.
Biggest issue was the smelly bathrooms. Even if any other rooms used the toilet, our bathroom was smelly. Some drainage issue in the area perhaps. Also, the ventilation from toilet was right into the room which is a bad design, causing the entire room to smell bad.
Breakfast could have some options for vegetarians who do not eat eggs. We managed because we eat eggs.
Overall, it is on the pricey side for off peak season.
