We stayed at the hotel with a group of others so had multiple rooms. I would only call it an okay hotel. It was clean and the staff was well meaning, but the decor was clearly dated and not in a charming kind of way. Upon arrival the entire hotel smelled of oil paint since they had been painting the...

We arrived in Pondicherry without pre-booked accommodation during a busy period but having checked a couple of other places, we stayed here for two nights as the rooms were clean and our balcony had a nice view of the beach. The first room we were shown was similar to the one we got except that when I went to check... More

I was worried when I saw reviews for this place and I had been booked in there by people I was working with. But the team working there were very helpful friendly and the bed though one of a twin was very comfortable.For me the lack of wi fi and simple charm meant i had to do my work elsewhere... More

We were looking for the sea view hotels but, most of the reasonable hotels were full and we found here finally. They showed us a several rooms and there were different types. From our room, we could see the ocean a little. It was nice! The hotel staffs were however, not so friendly and helpful. We asked only a small... More

Whatever you do, do not book this hotel. I did in May for a stay in August, paid in full up front, only to be told that my booking was not being honoured when I arrived. The man was positively unfriendly and helpful, offering me a refund, if I went back the next day. I took me hours to find... More

I would say the place was at the perfect location with everything at a walking distance, the staff were very courteous. The rooms needed a little revamp as it was not well painted, The place was overall fun and with family it was a nice bet and it fell in budget, More

This is a good hotel on the Aurobindo Asharam road just opposite to the Sea. Some of the rooms have balconies from where you can see the sea and the waves hitting the rocks. It was a good hotel at a reasonable price compared to couple of others with similar location. We got AC rooms at Rs 1500 over weekend... More

We found it impossible to book anything in Pondicherry in advance by phone and on our first night stayed in a tiny place. The next day we wandered around Pondicherry room hunting, but most places seemed full- it was the mid-January peak. Then we found Mother Sea View. The roof room was good value for 1500rp. We had sea views... More

We went here as our first hotel choice was full. The hotel's location is very good - on the esplanade at Pondicherry. The room wasn't great though - had a pretty dirty feel to it. Also, the toilet sloped down backwards, which is quite weird! I think there'd probably be better places to stay in Pondicherry. More
