    This hotel is the best option if you are in Pondy with a vehicle. It is very close to the main bus stand. However if you are planning to roam around in white town and beach mostly .. Vehicle is a must! The hotel staff Is very very strict abt the checkin and check out time. This for me was a minus point. Otherwise, standard and executive rooms are pretty good. The bath room Was smelling damp and I would prefer it being fresh. Looks like after the reviews they have changed the breakfast options.. ...more

    Best budget hotel in the city. High class within affordable price. Location is superb, amenities are good, Staff are humble and generous. Only downside is the restaurant. Breakfast buffet is not upto the mark, very few to choose from. Don't ever try to go to the roof top restaurant, its worst.

    Hotel was good, however i had bad experience at reception as he told they have strict checkout policy right after 24 hours from the time you check in. I requested for early check in and checked in at 9 AM. I confirmed the check out time at reception around 8:30 in the morning next day and the person confirmed me that the check out time is 12 PM. We came back to room and around 11 PM we started getting calls from reception that your next day tariff has started as you need to check out at 9:00 AM ...more
