A colonial touch blended with the robust Tamil culture, Pondicherry is just a two-hour picturesque drive away from Chennai. Visit here for the cobblestone cycling-friendly streets, the rich history of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and some of the best cafes in which to hang out. A place where lethargy is a virtue, enjoy the sun rise at the widely used beachfront. The same place converts into a local hangout at night when traffic is stopped and post-dinner walkers turn out for ice cream.

"Cours CHABROL" is a small property situated on the famous promenade of Pondicherry, the beach avenue, with 11 well appointed rooms offering the sea view.
Strictly ok. Great location esp the view from the terrace! opt for this place only if you have a sea facing rooms. The rest of the rooms have walls in front of the windows. No frills, basics in compact rooms. Hygiene is maintained. Plumbing looks like it is ready to break anytime. Right place only if you’re in transit. They only provide breakfast.

Coramandal Heritage, 150 years old Franco-Tamil home hosts from the centre of the colonial town. In 2007, this house has been converted into a calm hotel. It offers a peaceful stay with ten comfort rooms. There is a gallery for South- Arcot paintings and an ethical boutique for cotton products.
The property is centrally located and all important places are within a km range(walking) from the hotel so this makes it a must stay place in Pondicherry. Also, the place is safe for women travellers as it has a home-like and heritage vibe. Stayed on the second floor. The rooms are clean with basic amenities like towels and soaps. The smart TV in the room was a cherry on the cake. Overall experience was amazing and it's a highly recommended place.

Paid Rs 15200 in advance for 2 nights. Got Room 2,ground floor. No window at all. Three of 6 spot lights hanging out of their sockets and not working. Nowhere to place suitcase to unpack. No drinking glasses. No ventilation at all in the sealed bathroom. Two of 6 spots worked rest falling out of the ceiling. Mirror cracked . Toilet bowl and seat stained.One bar of soap and nothing else. No toilet hand shower. Seedy and unmaintained Reception/ house manager on duty from 9.30 to 18.30. Otherwise property is unmanned. No security at night. Nothing available in this hotel except breakfast . That is spartan with filthy old mugs.The toast is toasted on one side only which epitomizes the meanness of this hotel. The so called pool is chipped, full of leaves and deteriorating. The owner should be thoroughly ashamed.. Avoid this place at all cost. You have been warned

Located atleast 2kms away from White Town. Its a budget hotel. U get what u pay for. Nothing fancy. Breakfast was included. And it was good! Service staff was polite & courteous. Then y 3 stars u ask! Well Bathroom had a weird smell, no room freshner could remove it. Rooms could have been cleaner. Bedsheets & towels both had stains. House keeping was prompt though. None of this surprised us, coz we r budget travellers, and we frequent these kind of budget hotels. Recommended for people looking for budget accommodation

My friend and I somehow managed to stay at this place for 1 night in April, 2022. We had booked a Superior Double Room after reading the reviews and looking at the pics posted by other guests. Our entire trip was a nightmare just because of us booking this place for a night. Mr.Krishnan is the most disrespectful person you will ever meet, he has a huge ego issue and does not agree with any problems with the stay. Now let us come to the room. Seems like some 10yr old kid designed this place. The balcony is closed and has windows. The fans do not work well at all. Our only requirement was an A/C and that was only giving out hot air. There is a shower in the bathroom, but no water comes out of it. The beds are about 4 ft high, we are 6 ft guys and still found it a little hard to get up and down from the bed. The only thing we liked was the fridge, and we literally had to take turns sitting in front of it over the night to not die of heat. I really hope I saved some of you from booking this place after reading this review, else, God bless you!
