My wife and I (78/80 yrs) decided to travel unaccompanied to Puducherry taking a taxi from Chennai airport reaching Hotel Atithi late. Based on my stay at the hotel last August with my NRI son’s family we were confident of a hassle free and warm welcome, We were then a group of seven. Our expectations this time were more than met. We stayed five nights.
The room was comfortable and well furnished in a subdued style. The bathroom though small was elegant. Supplies were very good. So was cleanliness and maintenance.
Complementary breakfast was a good mix of South Indian and Continental spread. A nice way to start the day in a happy mood.
We did not try the buffet offerings in the restaurant but chose special western cuisine dishes. The menu has a very large variety it is therefore understandable that all items may not be of the same high standard. The waiters are knowledgeable and are happy to help you choose.
Overall, what struck us was the warmth and helpful attitude of the whole staff without exception. The managers talked to us frequently to check if every thing was okay. In short, they looked after us, old folks well. Very creditable as the hotel was fully occupied
The hotel is centrally located with places like the Ashram, sea face, good restaurants and the old town within easy walking distance.
If you are looking for comfort, a congenial atmosphere and warmth, you may not find a better place than this hotel. In fact, we adjusted our visit dates to the room availability.
