Hotel South Avenue

Small & dirty bathroom/toilet was something not expected from a 3 star hotel. Area around the property is dirty and only savour is Rock Beach. B/F options are limited with south indian food on offer. The receptionist was rude on requesting late check-out and may try to rob you in case you ask for Rented Scooty/bike from him.

Stay was comfortable and room was nice but food is not up to the mark

Average to poor hotel, but you get everything you need and the hotel is clean. The beds are medium soft and comfortable. Breakfast is Indian together with some watermelon. Very plain.

Hotel centrally situated near railway station. Very helpful staff.
Breakfast area on 4th floor was not clean though food was good.
Rooms were clean and airy but wardrobe too small specially if you are staying for 5 days.

decent hotel just opposite railway station.. dont expect too much like a three star hotel. Buffet breakfast is minimal but enough , dont expect too much continental stuff. Location is good for going to rock beach or shopping on MG road.

It is located in a good place, close proximity to the market, beach, railway station and bus stand. They have a nice restaurant in the hotel with some good food available at reasonable rates. Free WiFi (Good Internet Speed)

The room was just okay (if not terrible). It looked the same as the photos posted on the website but very dull in reality. Sheets were not replaced until requested. Towels were years old, rough and hard. There was an occasional bad smell from the bathroom.
My rating 6 out of 10.

We had spent six nights here previously and were so happy that we decided to extend our stay by a further 2 nights. We were allowed to stay in the same room, after some minor adjustments made by the reception staff. There is nothing to complain about here; welcoming staff, good English spoken, large, clean, comfortable rooms. Comfy bed, great air conditioning and WiFi. Breakfast basic but adequate and freshly cooked. Good room service menu at very reasonable prices. Complimentary water daily. What’s not to like? Opposite railway station and in easy walking distance of the sea front.

I have only good things to say about this hotel. Check-in was quick and efficient from nice friendly staff. The room is large, perfectly clean, very comfy bed with a separate living area with large sofa and tv. Great a/c, there are 2 units, one in the living area and one in the bedroom. Both highly efficient. The hotel has a back up generator so if power goes off this quickly kicks in. Excellent WiFi. Breakfast is included and is adequate with both Indian and basic continental selection such as omelette and toast available. The hotel has a restaurant attached which is very good and an extensive well priced room service menu is available. Everything we ordered was delicious and delivered promptly. The location is in easy walking distance of the beach and the railway station is directly opposite. We enjoyed it so much we booked a further 2 nights. Wouldn’t hesitate at staying here again.

its a average hotel...tough the amenities and facilities are fairly average, the biggest is that it is at a walking distance to the promenade beach..
the staff were very polite and helpful..they even helped me rent a scooty..

We stayed for 2 nights. Hotel is near to beach and exactly opposite to Pondichery Railway Station.Check In Time is 12pm and Check out time is 11am. They may consider for 1 or 2 hrs extension for check out depending upon the availability. Rs 400 to 450 will be charged for bike (Vespa) rental on need basis for one day.Complimentary Breakfast is good with lot of variety.Rooms are neat & Clean. Staffs are polite & Helpful. Room service is good. Restaurant menus has lot of options and tasty and if order is placed it will be delivered quickly.

Shower had a problem and continued even after plumber repairs :) Grt hospitality overall but bar boys were rude.

Trip was fantastic. The complementary breakfast was of good quality. Room service was good

Overall Stay was Good but need to be improved with their choice of breakfast

After the 3rd cockroach we decided to leave and booked a better hotel for the second night. We had asked the staff for help but they said that the only option (fumigation) would make the room uninhabitable.

It was nice trip. I enjoyed it very much.pondi is a very beautiful place with many historical place and many beautiful beaches.
The trip was awesome.

Stayed at this hotel because it was close to the scuba diving center. I am a diver so it was extremely convenient. Free Wi-Fi is available but a little slow. Room service is OK. It would have been nice to have tea bags/coffee in the room.

We stayed overnight for rest after a long drive. We couldn't sleep as power went off three times for almost an hour and the room was infested with mosquitoes. It was pointless and we wanted to get out earliest. No coffee supply in the room. At 5.00 AM, woke up the receptionist and asked for coffee. Coffee arrived at 6.00. There were only two of us and we wanted refund for the third person. They said they will only refund 50% as they have to pay Expedia 50%. I spoke with Expedia CSR and she told me she will send a mail to the hotel saying they don't charge anything as the hotel claimed. Despite the hotel refused to refund full amount. It was a total rip off. They refused to take credit card and insisted cash payment.
