Bel hôtel charmant, chambre blanche magique en Inde, idéalement localisé dans Pondichéry
Pros:

La localisation est super, en face de la plage, avec un bar sur le toit c’est encore mieux. L’hôtel est beau et même pris en photo!

Cons:

Le réveil brutal par téléphone le matin pour nous demander quand allions nous nous présenter pour le petit déjeuner avec insistance et toc à la porte le lendemain.

Lovely hotel on The Promenade. Rooms beautiful and clean. The breakfast is delicious and can be eaten inside or in a lovely courtyard. The restaurant is also great with wonderful views from the rooftop terrace. The owner is so friendly and helpful and nice staff too.

Only good looking Decor ...There is no soul to this place !!!!
Pros:

The property after its renovation has been made into decent and good looking place

Cons:

We didn't like so many things about the place . Just a good looking hotel is never enough when you are on a vacation and want to just have a good time.
Its a very High priced property according to their services and overall vibes and conduct of their staff . NO VALUE FOR MONEY !! In any service industry ..specially hotels . how one treats their guests speaks volume...a smile to the least goes a long way. First day of breakfast they were still cleaning the floors while the same staff was arranging food on the table. we ate our breakfast outside the rest of our stay. Upon a request made on some changes on our stay …just asking about their policies made the reception Manager speak rudely to us . As he actually wasn't aware of the answer, speaks a lot on how most of them are trained. Instead of having an argument or being rude ..he could have just given the answer. Unless the guests are being unreasonable...you smile and serve right !!! UNORGANISED and OVER-PRICED and BAD STAFF CONDUCT
