Wonderful short stay in very comfy bed
Pros:

Wonderful two night stay in this villa with 4 poster bed that was very comfy! Loved the vintage furniture and floor tiles too. Breakfast was enough for a short stay, south Indian style. Location is very central and the streets are lovely to walk at night. I will definately stay again.

Cons:

Noise from the other guests sometimes

overall for the price it was ok.
Pros:

excellent location,the bedroom was spacious and clean.had a small balcony to step out in to for a smoke. decent rooftop dining

Cons:

the AC leaks on the balcony and sprays a bit during winds. so cant sit on one chair. there are crows flying a round during meal time in the rooftop which is a bit annoying, so if your plate is unattended they will swoop down and make a mess.

Pros:

Excellent location just blocks from the beach and perfect for exploring all of white town on foot! Our room was beautiful clean and full of old world charm. A highlight was definitely swimming at the rooftop pool and taking in the sights. Staff was friendly and attentive to all our needs. Breakfast was basic but good, if you're looking for gourmet breakfast there are many options all around but the free breakfast was just great for our needs.

Pros:

Great location - easy walk to beach and restaurants.

Cons:

If you only speak English, communication with staff is very difficult.
The safe wasn't working and I couldn't get problem resolved due to language barrier. No fridge in room. Very noisy with lots of door banging. There didn't seem to be a spare room key, so our room didn't get cleaned or re-stocked with bottled water, toilet paper, ckean towels, etc when we were out.

Ma dove lo avete trovato?
Pros:

Camera Molto ampia. .

Cons:

Sporco fatiscente colazione scarsa ed immangiabile . Il " balcone" chiuso tra 2 muri , porta traballante, finestra con vetro rotto persino la cassaforte era staccata dal muro e vagava nell'armadio. Rumoroso. Il tutto per circa 120 € a notte. Un delirio

Pondy - Ocean View
Pros:

The reception and breakfast staff were great.
Lenin, the owner/manager is extremely courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.
The pool is an excellent addition.

Cons:

The lack of clothing storage space in the room.
It could do with a chest of drawers.
The cracked wash basin in the shower room need replaced. I've seen it mentioned on other guests reviews. As does the shower hose.
Had to switch the noisy fridge off.
