AI Summary
The hotel's standout features include a quality breakfast buffet and beachfront location with great views. However, some guests felt it was overpriced, especially regarding dining options.

It's the only good looking hotel by the beach. While booking the room, mention how many of them are staying here even if its just 2 person. I booked 3 rooms but the hotel charged us for 3 person the reason that they gave was a ******** saying that each room was booked under one person name, so we will charge for the extra 1 occupancy. Except this, this hotel is perfect in every thing.

We booked this last minute after our original accommodation in Pondicherry disappointed. The hotel is located on the Promenade overlooking the beach with sea views, with the old lighthouse and Gandhi statue next door. We had a twin room, which was super clean, had an ensuite bathroom, wardrobe, and safe. The staff here were great, so helpful and avcommodating. Breakfast was included and consisted of buffet style local dishes, made to order egg dishes as well as an amazing selection of pastries and cakes. The hotel also had 3 bars and 2 restaurants with a restaurant and bar on the rooftop. There was also a small outside swimming pool, which was well maintained. We loved to sit in the garden with a drink in the late afternoon watching the world go by. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Enjoyable and safe stay. Dined at all the three restaurants food was delicious with a variety of cuisines. Just in front of rock beach,enjoyed beach view even at night the beach road was bustling with people and we went for walks or just sat till late enjoying the waves. The staff very very polite and cheerful. Overall good experience

Stayed for a night with ex-fellow hostelers for the Pondicherry Engineering College silver jubilee reunion . It is in the best (white) part of Pondicherry Town and run by Hidedesign group. Dont remember this hotel existing during our college days The reception is a mess and had to wait for quite some time to get my room keys. We had a room window facing the promenade and beach and that was the highlight. Else it was very noisy and didn't find the room sound proof enough at night. Was woke up constantly by cars honking downstairs. The hotel is about location, location and location nothin more! Breakfast spread was good but nothing to rave about.

We went to Pondichery for celebrating my daughter’s birthday . I asked Ashis , the Rooms Division Manager about any nearby store where I could get some card , flowers etc . To my great surprise , Ashis asked one of his team members to take me to the stores in his personal vehicle. I am really grateful to him , that I could get the gifts which my daughter really loved . I was initially allotted Room 25 , the bathroom exhaust of which was not working . On pointing it to Ashis he promptly shifted me to Room 27 which was perfectly fine . I am a repeat guest of the hotel and felt that the quality and service of Food & Beverage has gone down . The linen and towels could also improve . I also thank Prabu , an erstwhile Front Office staff , who came to meet me on my departure . My overall experience was nice and I’ll surely visit the hotel in near future .

Lovely location , and good food in the dining areas. , but everything else was far below our expectations . The hotel is in need of a complete makeover. The rooms are tired looking with furnishings from the 70’s. Our first room. (3) was directly over the kitchen with a very noisy extractor fan than ran from 5:30am to 11:30pm. We switched room to the third floor which was quieter during the day but next to the top floor restaurant and kitchen plus a smoking area directly outside our room for the restaurant guests. The room was very dated and hasn’t been renovated for a very long time . The layout was particularly awkward as it was impossible to get past the wardrobe with the door open or put the bags inside the wardrobe . The room itself was large but the empty space was wasted , adding an extra chair would have gone a long way to making it a more comfortable room. There were plenty of staff , but most just standing about doing very little , getting a tea and coffee at breakfast was a 10 to 15 minute wait , despite at least one person standing idle at the machine. The reception was unable to organise any tours for us , which we felt was odd. Pool although a little small was nice and warm , but did not have a shallow end ( 5feet throughout )so it would not be children friendly

A small boutique hotel on the promenade which is the only good thing about this place. Rooms aren’t up to mark with worn out interiors and are pretty small. Service really needs to be improved upon, food served for breakfast was cold ( Dosa) The hotel is surviving only because of its location it seems, there many properties in the neighbourhood one can con consider. Not recommended at all.
