We were there on this weekend (2015-02-28).. The rooms are spacious, modern and neatly maintained. Budget hotel with ample facilities for stay. Location is decent in team of accessibility to beach and market. Staff are polite. No dedicated four wheeler parking, but can be manageable.

Located inside the Market, walkable distance from sea (rock beach & Aurobindo Ashram) , many restaurants & liquor shop's are nearby(KFC & Domino's is 100mtrs away) .
Cons- They don't have own parking , though the security guy is helpful to find u a parking in nearby road.
AC won't work properly, if u booked with free breakfast pls be alart they might not inform you that it's not served in room and served somewhere else and u need to follow up in morning for that.
The breakfast is typical local breakfast and u May disappointed.
There is no balcony or sitout, so u can't see outside and so there will be only ventilation is through AC.

We had booked our room during July 2017 through Agoda.com. We called up their reception on the day of our booking, where the manager confirmed our booking. We had paid the full amount on Agoda as well. Later on we travelled for 7-8 hours to reach Pondicherry on the day of our booking. The manager at the reception proactively told us that there is no booking at our name even before letting us show him the slip. The people at the hotel were rude and what we felt is that they had sold our rooms at a higher price to get profit.
Please beware of this hotel if you do an online booking!!!
Your booking is never confirmed!!

In spite of advance booking We had made an advanced payment for booking 4 A.C. Rooms as we were travelling with families and didn't wanted to face any awkward situation in the eleventh hour, but we were surprised, when we visited the hotel, there was no room/s kept for us in spite of advance booking and mail & phone confirmation by them . They made us wait for hours for arranging rooms and at last they started misbehaving and showed more interest in refunding our money back and throw all of us out of their hotel.
So while visiting Pleasant Inn, be prepared for any untoward situation, becoz we had to again look for rooms in other hotels after long tiring journey, it can happen to you as well............

Rooms are very big and has all the amenities. Beach is few kms walk, and hotel is surrounded by different shops. There are near by hotels for dinner and lunch. Wifi is available but only in lobby. Nice comfortable stay with kids.

Was there in Pondi to celebrate the new year 2015.
Pros: Rooms are spacious, clean and affordable. Located not far from beach road or bus stand. Nearby good fud options are there. Bang opposite u can get IMFL at wholesale rate. U can hire a bike at reasonable rate to roam around. Overall gud place to stay.
Cons: No restaurant, even if they provide comp breakfast but options limited. Also rooms does not have proper ventilation.

I stayed at this place for a couple of weeks whilst in Pondicherry for work. Having booked elsewhere for my first 2 nights I moved in to the Pleasant Inn after checking out a few different options in town.
First off, the location is very convenient, right in the centre of the main town. NOTE the location as indicated on the map on here is wrong! The hotel is actually about half way between Mission Street and MG Road (i.e. east of MG Rd and not west as indicated). It is just a few seconds' walk from Nilgiri's which provides a handy source of snacks and essentials.
I stayed in an A/C room on the third floor which was impeccably clean and spacious and I didn't see a single mosquito or fly in the room the whole time. The room was pretty quiet by virtue of the fact that it did not have any external windows, although that did mean views were out of the question. Throughout my stay the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and always well presented.
On the downside, WiFi access is only available in the reception area and this seemed to be quite temperamental, although there are a few cafes nearby with free WiFi (notably the lovely Mission Cafe just around the corner underneath Dominos Pizza).
Another negative is the room could also get very warm if the A/C was turned off, especially the bathroom which was permanently like a Turkish Bath! This I put down to the fact that all the A/C units seem to vent into a service void onto which the bathroom window is open. It wasn't a problem but the cold water was often far from cold, sometimes almost hot, which can make brushing your teeth a bit weird!

Lot of scooter rental points available within walkable distance..
Hot water was available in bathroom, u should purchase drinking water though they provide it.
Ventilation is a concern, as its only through AC and a small backside window in seating area, which is not much helpful.
"Since they have many rooms, they must be giving away a few rooms in really affordable rates. Check several websites."Read full review
