R.M. Guest House

Good things first:The owner Muthu Kumaran is easily and always available over phone for enquiries. He speaks good English and hence easy to communicate if you don't speak Tamil. He helped us with early checkin at 9 am for free. Thanks to him. He also guided me on how to reach his place from Pondicherry railway station by asking us to take a bike on rental rather than taking a cab. The boy Ayanar who is in charge of taking care of guests is extremely helpful and hard-working. He always attends to your requests with smile and without ever feeling bad. My big salute to him.Improvement areas:We stayed for 3 nights. We didn't have major problems but the room could have been better. The room and the attached bathroom are very old. They need overhaul. The bathroom needs renovation and fittings need to be replaced. The flush tank takes ages to refill. The washbasin tap leaks. The hot water was not coming in the taps many times and I had to run to Ayanar every time . Sometimes it took 1-1.5 hours for the hot water to come after opening the tap. A couple of lights were not turning on and the room was not well lit because of that. The TV was a menace. It took almost one full day to get the TV working. If my above suggestions are implemented this will become an excellent property for a reasonable price.Please note this property is located in Tamil Nadu but near Pondicherry border. You can't carry liquor to this place from Pondy because there are checks on the way. This property is close to Auroville Matrmandir and Sadhana forest. Pondy Central is about 8 kms away. You can hire a bike for about ₹500 per day and explore Pondy.

This was a good option if you need a cheap price, The stay was good. I booked so it was cheaper for me .. receptionist is too helpful so you can choose it if you want to stay around aurovile. Main city will be around 7+ Km i.e white Town, rock beach, also raji bike rentals available near RM guest house is the best I have used.

I always used to stay at RM GUEST HOUSE because of its cheaper rate, since I was a student there in Pondicherry. But now , the hotel has become dirty. Lots of bed bugs , and the bathroom gets clogged when you take a shower ,takes time to drain all that water also. Not recommended anymore unless you don't mind the inconveniences.

Good management staff, I would lik to suggest 8/10 oly disappointing is **** shop here there is lot of check post were we can’t carry **** to dis place this place is out of Pondicharry. So plan well before U check in apart from dis u have beach & arovill near to dis place
