"We checked in on 31st Dec and left on 5th Jan 2018. Everything is good except new year celebration, gala dinner is sheer waste of money. Pathetic food and mismanagement. Other days, everything is ok including food. Staff is very courteous. They changed our two room booking to a suite having two rooms. Food quality on new year night was pathetic. They are very short of staff, cutlery and service. Everything was half cooked. Since price of Gala dinner was Rs 1000 plus tax, we didnot mind but could not eat food also. Payment was taken outside itself. Rooms including suites are in need of repair of electrical sockets, bed head rests are loose and dancing if you take support while sitting. Loccation is good. Entire pondicherry and Beach etc are 15 min drive. "

"After reviewing lots of hotels in Pondicherry I found very positive reviews for this hotel. I was traveling with infant of 8 months old along with family members, so I wanted to make sure hotel should provide basic facility for infant. After staying for 3 days , I can say this is one of the best hotel in Pondicherry in many ways. It’s in prime location so everything is nearby. Hotel has nice restaurant and serves nice breakfast. Rooms are near and clean. Staff members are always available to help your. Service is very prompt. What I didn’t like is they charged quite high for infant milk which 260rs for a ltr milk. Which is too high, however rest all is excellent. "

"the accord pondicherry-labeled as the accord puducherry on the giant letters that cover the building is hard to miss. every tuk tuk driver will know where this place is. you will have to take the tuk tuk to enjoy the beach activities and tourist shops. each tuk tuk ride will cost about 100 rupees. the amenities make staying at this place well worthwhile-almost no one uses the pool and steam room so you will enjoy privacy. the rooms are clean with western standards for bathroom and bed. you may have trouble connecting to the wireless internet but there is a supplied ethernet cable which will give you speeds approaching internet in the western world. around the hotel, there are shops and restaurants that are more suited to the local population. eating in local restaurants will bring you local prices. the only minus is spending 200 to 400 rupees a day riding the tuk tuk to the beach. if you factor this into the cost between staying at a nice hotel on the beach, you will still come out ahead financially. i would stay here again."

"An extremely pleasant stay at this beautiful hotel located right on the Pondicherry beach next to an ancient Lighthouse. The staff was overtly-friendly and extremely helpful. The buffet-breakfast had a wide variety of good, fresh foods along with a range of with oven-fresh breads, fresh-fruit juices and a warm-smiling staff to help you start the day with a great mood. My room, along side the old Lighthouse, was sunny and very comfortable. The only sore point was the 'massage' service offered. It was more of a 'rubbing-oil' experience that was way, way-off anything that can be even remotely defined as a 'massage'. "

"It's a great property with a retro style and spacious and beautiful room and decor. The swimming pool in the property is very well maintained and build in such a way that even in the peak summer heat you get shade in almost half of pool. The hotel serves excellent complimentary breakfast and friendly staff. The location of the property is pretty far from Pondicherry town but if you are coming by your own vehicle it shouldn't matter much. All is all an excellent option to have fun."
