I honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough. I arrived in India 4 months ago and have a lot of experience in various parts of the country and this place comparatively has all the best qualities. Staff security (I’m a solo female traveler) great Indian breakfast and it all comes with generosity which is rare in India. No extra surprise charges. Owner is a patient honest man. That in itself is like gold in India! Staff speaks and understand English. I could go on. I just felt it’s worth taking the time to write an honest review to assist future travelers. 😀

Irrelevant question

The beautiful heritage property is excellently situated, with the major attractions located at a stone's throw. The beach is a 7-8 min walk, white town is nearby, and there are also pubs, seafood restaurants and scooty hiring shops within 1-1.5km. The caretaker, Mr. Raja, is a gem of a person. He went out of his way to ensure we have a memorable stay. He answered all our queries, and even, cooked us traditional Tamil breakfast on our last day, even before breakafast time, because we had to leave early. If you are looking for a memorable stay at Pondy, this is a great option.

Room and bath was really clean, no issues with hygiene, property is a heritage one, hence, rooms are a bit small. But very comfortable. Staff were helpful and helped with renting a scooty as well for 300/- per day. Nothing to complain, but we never tried the complimentary breakfast during our 3 nights 4 days stay and hence can not comment on the same, but I saw foreigners and Indians enjoying their breakfast, so assuming that it must be good. Overall, value for money, good location, comfortable stay and a happy customer here.

Only a small issue arose as water leaked from the AC unit with drops of water directly falling in the bed underneath, but we dragged the bed away from the wall and problem was resolved.

Great hotel, the owner was extremely courteous and looked after all needs. Great location as well

There is no regular kitchen, it's under construction. Also, other than owner there is only one more person to help. Some more help to provide room service would be appreciated

Very friendly place right in the middle of Pondy. It really feels like living in a period house. Cool and quiet, warm welcome by attentive management. The best part was the excellent breakfast (Western or South Indian) taken at a communal table so conversation flows. Strongly recommended!!

My room was small. OK for one person, but two would struggle. Perhaps the rooms upstairs are larger?

I liked the view from the terrace outside my room. The breakfast were decent. All the staff were very helpful and responsive. The location is strategic. Lots of good eateries nearby.

There are no parking facilities at the hotel. But can find some parking spots by the roadside or nearby parking space.

The location is very close to white town, a major plus point. We were family of four and got the room with roof top. All basic amenities provided. Good AC. Opted for South Indian Breakfast which they arranged from nearby place and was good. No kitchen facility in hotel but lot of eating options near by in various range.

The ambience was good, services provided by the staff was good. complementary things were good And Bala Murugan was the manager. And he is master in his work. Maintained the hotel and rooms very well.

there's nothing to unlike.

Location, rooms, facilities and service was nice. We loved the stay there. They gave us a facility to temporarily keep our belongings after checkout for the day.

Few things to taken care: some of the switches are not correctly closed and broken and one of the plug was not working. Tea glasses require a bit more cleaning.

It had a very homely vibe and the people running the place were very considerate and helpful. Also, the pricing was reasonable enough given the location.
