Stayed here straight after Pondicherry had been hit by a cyclone. Although half their rooms were still closed, and for the couple of days we were there the wifi and lifts weren't working, they'd done an incredible job of making the place fit for service in such a short space of time. Our room was beautiful - spacious and comfortable,... More

My mother had told me a lot about Pondicherry and so together with my Lonely Planet book, I excitedly awaited this place! But alas our stay here was very disappointing. Firstly, the water comes out of the tap black and putrid. We rang staff to fix the hot water 5 times and on the fifth occasion he wanted a tip!... More

I have recently beed there for one night stay. Good location close to the sea, hotel is quite new and modern. Large and confortable room, bathroom is nice. Breakfast is quite good. We had problems with the staff as we booked for a triple room, with 3 beds, and as we arrived for check-in they wanted to give us a... More

But there was a lot of noise, from the water pumps on the roof - don't stay at room 25! More

A very charming hotel right on the beach front promenade. Nightly promenading by the populace in front of the hotel seems to be the usual practice. It is a pleasant walk through the French quarter to the Indian markets and shopping streets. The restaurant is excellent. More

Only few are facing the sea so check while booking whether you are going to get sea facing room or not. Food... More

We arrived at 3o'clock in the night. Check-in was quite fast but it seams they didn't invest too mucht time to prepare our room. The floor was not mopped properly and full of beachsand and in the bathroom there was a halfdead cockroach struggling for life. Since we were very tired after a long journey we just accepted the room... More

Our stay at "The Promenade" was a short one, but one that has left us with many beautiful memories. Right from the warmth of the staff to the beautifully laid out and comfortable rooms and the food, every aspect of our stay was attended to meticulously.. especially, considering the fact that we were travelling with my 2 year old daughter...

Centrally located on Goubert Avenue (beach road) near the Ghandi statue and old lighthouse, this charming European-style hotel has stunning views of the Bay of Bengal and is within walking distance of some of Pondicherry's most notable attractions. The hotel rooms are similar to other beachfront hotels and has teak window shutters and accents. It is a slightly older hotel,... More
