    One of the best advantage of the hotel is the location and there are 4 rooms I think (2 in each floor) has Balcony as well with Sea View. Its not sea facing but its diagonal but perfect place to sit with family and enjoy the scenic beauty of sea shore and beach side road. So many restaurants around to have nice delicious food and some snacks corners. I will definitely recommend this property for its cleanliness and location.

    - great location, next to rock beach. - ok breakfast - helpful and friendly staff - walking distance from many eating joints. Great Street food and barbecue available nearby. - middle of French pondy. You can see a lot of photo shoots going on, so pack your cameras if you want to show off that you went on a (budget) french holiday. - Be warned, No parking in front of hotel but you can find parking in the neighborhood, shady footpaths to walk back to the hotel, so no worries. Overall, if you want a budget hotel in a great location, try lotus bay view.

    Lotus NOT a bay view hotel”

    We booked a 3 bedroom suite but it turned out to be just a big room with 3 beds. As for the sea view, there was a tiny balcony on which only 4 people could sit. The sea was somewhat visible through the gaps in the nearby buildings. Bed linens had stains. There is a terrace which has a good view of sea but you are not allowed to go there. So if you are looking for a sea view hotel, this might not be the best option.
