This and its sister guest house 'The Retreat' is a highly above average guest house operated by the Arobindo foundation. You need to send out a mail well in advance to book, they should mail you back on the availability in a day or two. Thereafter you have to pay in advance through bank transfer to confirm the booking.

Great Location. Highly affordable. Near to most of the landmarks in Pondicherry. Booking can be done through email and paying an advance. If you plan to travel by road (for e.g., Chennai airport etc) you can ask them for arranging a cab. Their travel agent's rate is cheaper as compared to other travel agents. But the service has to improve.... More

Stayed at the hotel for 4 days.The Hotel is good basically because of the location. Basic air conditioned rooms and toilets,no tv since it belongs to the ashram complementary breakfast with Bread Jam Butter, Egg omlettes as well as Indian Breakfast. Lunch and dinner is good for Southindian food lovers.My wife and daughter loved the lunch. The ashram is close... More

We had booked a suite room for 3 of us at Seaside and they were prompt in sending us the confirmation. One thing to be noted here is that they prefer the payment to be done in DD or bank transfer! 2000 INR for a suite room was just great ! we reached there post dinner on friday evening. There... More

We stayed there two nights. The place was clean and had nice view. Food was simple and very indian. As we are in Pondicherry, we wanted to eat western food. Even our breakfast was included, we did not want to eat there at all. Maybe the food is good for indian people, but not for foreigners. My friend was sick... More

Perfect place to stay in Pondy! Right on the promenade with fabulous views and easy walking distance to anywhere you want to go around town. Rooms were very clean, staff friendly, efficient and helpful and you just can't beat the price! It is run by the ashram so they have their rules but they're fair enough and makes for a... More

When wanted to check in , the useless persons in the reception asked for passport copies of my brothers family. Fortunately, I was in Chennai at my home at that time... More

This beauty is located bang on the Promenade, the most happening place of Pondicherry. It is one of the Aurobindo Guest houses and has some interesting caveats, so it might not be for everyone, especially the jet-setting party-till-you-drop young crowd. Here are the caveats: 1. You cannot consume liquor or smoke cigarettes inside the hotel. 2. The hotel gates close... More
