Superb location and courteous staff!!”

The promonade hotel is very strategically located near many main attractions which are just walking distance. You come out of the door and touch the rocky beach.. Try to get the sea facing rooms or atleast the pool facing rooms.. others have no outside view. The one I was staying had , i could see street market top view.. The hotel staff is very courteous and accomodative. They all greet you with a smile. Pool in the hotel is pretty small but deeper than usual pools.. it's clean. Overall, hotel is very clean and tidy. They can arrange a two wheeler or a cab for you.. they had tie up with a vendor. Make sure that you fill your own petrol. For many places you would not need a vehicle.. it's very close to craft bazaar, old light house, church,. Pondicherry museum, french colony etc. We enjoyed our stay at the promonade hotel.

The hotel is basically on the water, and hence also walking distance to most sights in Pondicherry. Room clean and well appointed for a hotel like feel (though a safe would be nice). Breakfast is also god if not gourmet. Reception and buffet staff were very courteous and accommodating. But their service at breakfast can be slow, and their staff at rooftop bar were rather clueless and difficult -- they themselves did not know they had happy hour (advertised in big letters at front desk, as sunset experience) and refused to budge.
