Riad in Puducherry

"Though it’s a newly constructed hotel, it follows a vintage architecture very earnestly - the high ceiling, the colonial furniture, and grand father clocks all reminiscent of the rich history of Pondicherry. Staff, at front desk and restaurant are very courteous without being overbearing. Overall we had a lovely time and our three year old enjoyed the stay in “hotel house” very much! "

"Breakfast was good, typical South Indian with some variation from day to day. The room was quite clean and comfortable. Location is fantastic and we were able to use it as a base, returning to the room several times each day between exploring the town and the beach. Complaints would be noise and service - our room had some machinery outside the window which made a constant loud noise through the night - possibly an air con outlet. On Saturday evening there was also loud music coming down from the bar above but this stopped at 11pm so we were ok with this. Service was not great either, a couple of times we asked for top ups of things which they promised to supply but then didn't."

"You could do a lot worse ! This hotel was perfectly adequate for our purpose. It lies just outside White Town. Crossing the road by foot from the white town side to the hotel side of the road like any Indian city is not for the faint of heart. Breakfast was standard fare for South India. If you have a driver then you can be dropped off near the promenade which is pedestrianised and is simply marvellous for this very reason.We didn't eat in as there were a lot of eateries around.Pondy is very humid in August so the room AC provided a welcome respite from this humidity .If I was staying in Pondy again, I would be happy to stay here again."

"the top class property near Nagore Dargah . clean and hygienic . the maintenance team in the hotel is not up to the mark . there was water shedding in one of the toilet in our dormitory room . expedia says breakfast included but reception staff shiva said buffet not included which made a bit confusion and discomfort especially when shiva said its the guest responsibility to sort it out with Expedia . but later hotel owner himself involved and gave me breakfast included . thanks to him for sorting the issue out .overall i was very much impressed with the stay . will stay next time as well insha allah "

"We had a very pleasant stay. All the department from the maintainence to food to the spa eveything was enjoyable"

"Loved it. Will visit afain"

"It is great for a retreat not convenient if you have to go in and out. Excellent service."

"Overall condition is good! Access to the beach was an added attraction. Lack of parking is a handicap!"

"Complimentary rooftop freshly made breakfast buffet"
