Nice location and close proximity to the interesting spots in Puducherry. Could have been great, if they had arranged for car parking

8.4/10 Very Good! (55 reviews)

The hotel was ok,passable. The room was a good size and had a decent smart tv,which was appreciated with a teenager in tow. The room looked clean but didnt feel clean,which I know isnt a useful review. The location was very handy for shops,ATM, eateries etc. A 10 minute walk to the beach,but you arent allowed to swim there. Breakfast was good and enough to choose from.
