The rooms were good but the bathroom needs urgent revamp
Pros:

The stay was Average as the Bathroom was having stagnation of water and the staff inspite of the Best Of Efoorts from them needs to be trained.

Cons:

The rooms we were given were near to a dining room . I mean the door opened literally into the dining room. Also the guy at the reception said he had no other room availabvle whereas we being 5 families wanted a stay close by.

It is a pleasant space .
Pros:

Location/Charm

Cons:

I requested a room for 1 Monday night. Earlier I was quoted a certain amount and 3 days later another for thurs night . Which is ok if it depends in occupancy. I booked at a better rate through booking.com and the room they gave me was right in the dining room! I asked if I could get a better placed room and they said they were full. Just then someone walked in and asked is a room was available and they said Yes to them🤔This happened with the front office manager- M_____

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.
