      Pleasant stay close to Whitetown”

      We wanted a stay which was closer to whitetown yet have that modern facility with no compromise on the room size or hotel facilities. The hotel was very nice with great breakfast. We could not enjoy the swimming pool as it drizzled at that time, but the pool was very neat and clean (well maintained). Surely a recommended place of stay in Pondicherry!

      Had a wonderful stay of two days at Atithi. Would definitely like to be there again sometime.”

      Pros. 1. Amazing hospitality and very courteous staff. 2. Sumptuous buffet breakfast. 3. Clean pool. 4. Centrally located (most of the POIs of Pondy are at walking distance). 5. We stayed in executive room and the room size was adequate for a family of four. 6. Lip smacking barbecue snacks at the rooftop restaurant. Cons. 1. Buffet at terrace restaurant not too appealing(very limited choices were available on both evenings). 2. Roof top bar lacks ambience when compared to other parts of the Hotel. * Overall the stay was memorable and we enjoyed each and every moment spent there. The cons can actually be ignored.

      Pleasant stay”

      The hotel is located very close to the white town area and it's possible to walk to it if you don't mind a few kms. The property is well maintained and clean. Ample parking place. A value for money hotel. Staying in white town to seems nice with a heritage stay but if you have your own vehicle parking on any street is not permitted and could lead to the vehicle being towed or fined.would definitely recommend this place for its convenience and comfortable stay.

      Ideal Hotel for Family”

      The Hotel is in the city center and very close to Rock Beach. Step out of the hotel and you can find Eateries, Shopping (Max is right opposite to the hotel). Staff is very courteous and helpful. Breakfast Buffet was wholesome and they had a wide spread of food. Rooftop restaurant is decent. Overall, it was a great experience.

      Definitely stay for comfort”

      The hotel has extremely clean and beautiful rooms. Their housekeeping and hotel staff is polite and helpful. They helped us through our whole trip.to Pondicherry. The Bar at the rooftop has a great aura and the breakfast was amazing. The place is exacr at the centre 3 mins to anywhere near the French (White town) or any other direction. Eateries are all around the corner, even ones open late night. ..all in all we stayed at Atithi for four days and we would recommend everyone to do same.

      One of the best budget hotel experience in Pondy!”

      Loved my stay, staff was courteous, breakfast was served hot and was delectable. All this given the covid-19 and new year holiday season. Would recommend to everyone looking for a short hotel stay.
