Anandham Residency, 255, Rangapillai Street, Near: Torn beddings,dirty rooms,Nexus with Tour Operator
Our tour operator had booked the hotel for our stay for 1 night in this hotel. On reaching; the outer look suggested it will be good stay. But before check-in we thought of look for the cleanliness. To our utter shock it was unhygienic to say the least; torn beddings, dirty rooms, Pan spitted all over, alcoholic smell. We told that we won’t check-in in the hotel as we had asked for a good & clean room. Travel agent (Just Travel, Syed) told us that room will cost 1800/- while the voucher mentioned it to be 1250/-. Told the manager there that we can’t check-in. He even showed his best room- which was no different.
We went out for searching a new hotel. In the evening I got a call from the tour operator that I need to pay 1000/- to the Driver as cancellation charges. We went to hotel to check the correctness.. though we knew he must have told the manager to say a similar story. I went and told the other manager and he told its fine.. no charges for cancellation and called up the operator. Tour Operator used local language and told the manager that he should say 1000/- as cancellation charges which the other manager knew of. I talked to the other manager (Mr. Anand) (which according to the staff present was the owner); he told his shift starts at 11.00 pm. He told hotel was already paid full amount as booking amount by the tour operator and they have levied cancellation charges of 1000/-. I told ok fine. In a couple of minutes “owner/manager” called me again and told me to pay 1000/- cash as cancellation charges. I told him how can you ask me to pay? Tour operator has paid you full amount; you need to refund 250/- back to operator. This clearly shows how the manager/owner had nexus with the tour operator. Manager (Anand) persistently asked that I need to pay; I asked how could have he located me had I not come to the hotel for clarification. This is the level of service. When I was standing there in the reception area; another family was coming out of the restaurant and complained about the food and poor service of the staff. Thankfully I didn’t stayed at the Hotel Anandham Residency.
Unique Quality: Torn beddings, dirty rooms, Nexus with Tour operators

International Guest House: clean cheap and central
I stayed at the International Guest House, part of the Aurobindi Ashram accommodation lot, actually I've stayed there twice. It's very central, amazingly cheap ( rs 400 a night) and clean. The cleaners ion each floor are charming which off-sets the surliness of reception nicely. I will visit again.
Unique Quality: White, clean, simple rooms with attached bathroom. Five stories around a central courtyard with a hugely tall palm tree growing through it.

Nilla Guesthouse: Peacefull terrace
I stayed for 2 night (week end) in this small place (3 rooms). Place is clean and quiet, service is attentive, rooms have AC, free internet acces, and usual facilities. Location is fine: close to the sea, and 250 m from Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Terraces are at the third floor, without lift which is high, but sightseen is very nice. A good place to stay for week end or more. I will go back.
Unique Quality: Seaview. Quiet place.

Mother's Guest House: Cosy, clean and value for money
If you are on long stay and need a comfortable place, this is the place to look for in Pondicherry. Such a comfort and so lovely warm staffs. They are not greedy for the money so the room price is really low in contrast to the great location. The toilet is clean! which is something rare in india hotels. The corridor is close to the room and can be alittle noisy. Lovely location tho.
Unique Quality: location, friendliness, value for money and cleanliness

Lotus Bay View: There are better choices...
There were a couple positives to this place and I tried really hard to like it, but given that there are so many other choices of accommodations in Pondicherry, it just fell short. "Bay view" is a little misleading. It is actually just off Beach Road and there are no bay view rooms.
The hotel and room were extremely clean. The room itself was a little small and the only window was a very small side window overlooking some pipes. There was no fan but there is an AC.
The hotel advertised internet (an important criteria for us for work) but there was actually only a connection in the lobby. There was no restaurant on the premises, although there were several within walking distance. They did provide a South Indian breakfast (photo #2) that was passable.
The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. The front desk provided incorrect travel/Pondicherry information - they didn't seem to know very much. The hotel was also very noisy - whether it was from people talking via internet in the lobby (loudly!) to people in the hallways and other rooms.
My test is always - would I stay there again? I would not nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

Park Guest House: Ashram on the beach
This is actually an ashram that's very well located right on the beach front at the southern end of the city centre. All of the rooms face a large open grass area which is where you do your yoga lessons and it was the quietest place I stayed in throughout my 4 months in India! My room, for Rs600, was large with 2 single beds, a very large sofa, a large coffee table, ceiling fan, a/c, large mirror, deck chair, chair, 2 plastic armchairs, desk, wardrobe, hot water electric power shower where everything was clean and tidy. You can hire bicycles for Rs30/day. Good place that's well located with friendly staff.
