We stayed in the Ajantha Beach Guest house with our three kids in a large room, with windows overlooking the Bay of Bengal. For USD 10 dollars per head per night - this is really good value for money. Maybe because we were on the top floor, we expereienced no dampness, the air conditioner was working fine, we had hot...

Sea view was the only thing we felt good. The passage on the ground floor stinks so bad, so we had to hold our breath every in and out. Room was damp, air conditioner was not working properly (water kept dripping), and even a cockroach was found in the room. More

This hotel is really awesome. You can enjoy sea view directly from the Room. Hotel location is awesome. This hotel is just opposite to Rock beach. Its a great place. If you stay at this hotel, you don't have to go anywhere. Just sit on balcony and enjoy the sea. They have also a Bar and multi cuisine restaurant inside... More

We 5 boys went and we could get a AC room at a decent place, considering the fact that its right beside the beach. Even though we couldn't see the beach from the room we chose, it takes just 2 minutes to get down and reach the beach. More

Didn't know where to go when we arrived in Pondi, and when the driver said Ajantha, I thought out loud, hmmm, I remember the name from the guidebook, so my partner went 'why not check it out?' He loved the view, and the price is ok, so we took it for the night. Pondi is very easy to explore, so... More

Well located on the Promenade and edge of the french quater in Pondy. Rooms with a view are worth the little extra for the balcony and view. Rooms was ok and the service was average. Fast food place on the ground floor. A little bit noisey from the traffic below. More

This hotel is located along the waterfront of Puducherry and the rooms at the front of the hotel have small balconies which are a great place to chill out and watch the sunset. The rooms themselves are simple but clean and range from fan only to air-con. The four with balconies are the most expensive. The ground floor of the... More
