All units have a balcony and a satellite flat-screen TV equipped with cable channels, as well as air conditioning and heating. Every unit is equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and some have city views. At the homestay, each unit has bed linen and towels.

The property is situation in very prime location. We just arrived there in car and rest of all our sight seeing we did on foot. We did not need to rent any two wheeler or other mode of transport. The beach, sunday market and all the best of restaurants were within walking distance. The staff and hotel manager were very polite, helpful and caretaking. The rooms were extraordinarily clean and well maintained. The room I stayed had balcony and very relaxing in the evening after coming back from sightseeing. We have made up our mind to avail the same facility whenever we plan our next stay in Pondicherry.

    The homestay, 15mins away from the beach, 5mins from the railway station and the bus stand, is a steal for a humble abode. We took the Triple AC room amidst the summer and it did not disappoint. Expect all the amenities listed to be available along with good connectivity in the roads and safety. The landlady is quite understanding and very helpful. She is always available for any help that you need. The rest will be made up for Pondicherry's beauty! Hope you enjoy your stay!! Safe Travels.
