I recently had the pleasure of staying at Promenade Pondicherry, and I must say it was an absolutely excellent experience! The Sea View room was stunning—gorgeous decor and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. I savored a delicious breakfast in the morning, particularly enjoying the dosas that were simply delightful. Additionally, I treated myself to a massage, which was not only at a great price but also was just a great massage! Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Promenade Pondicherry for anyone looking for a beautiful getaway with fantastic service.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was great for a short stay. The hotel itself lacks a 4star luxury feeling, but it has more of a small boutique hotel feel. It's also a great location. It's a walkable distance to the boardwalk/ocean front, which was nice. At night, the area was lively and safe. We walked around and even went to a few shops then came back and had a specialty coffee beverage at the hotel restaurant. If you choose to sit outside when you dine, the view is beautiful. Also, we received SPA treatment here which I thought was FANTASTIC. I did have to wait for my treatment for a long time, but I did not prebook. I chose the coffee scrub down, and it was excellent!

The Promenade is very conveniently located on the beachfront (Goubert Avenue). Many key tourist attractions like Sri Aurobindo ashram, Ganesha temple, Puducherry museum, French war memorial, old lighthouse etc. are all within walking distance. There are many eating and shopping options within short walking distance from the hotel. Taxis and auto rickshaws are easily available for slightly faraway attractions like Auroville. Service and food at the hotel is excellent and staff go out of the way to help the guests. Facility is a bit old though and it shows in the quality of fittings and furniture. This needs attention from hotel management. All in all, it was a very nice stay at The Promenade.

The room was clean but needs to be upgraded as does the bathroom. The towels were old and looked unclean though I assume they were not. Street noise was immense. The hotel could ensure people do not honk or car alarms do not go off at 3 AM. Did not think there was location value for money. Paid a lot for the hotel. Enquired on the Promenade and other hotels were half the price. Food was charged at NY rate and was sub par. Drinks were also the most expensive I have had in India. Staff is courteous but did not appreciate being woken up at 12 for laundry delivery especially since it was not mine but my sons next door. All in all I do not think I would recommend this hotel based on my experience unless it was at 60$ a night.

The first room was leaking and the water had dripped in the floor and I slipped and hurt my back, they changed my room to a comfortable room. The dining room ceiling was leaking and water dripping in my head when I was having breakfast. I don’t think I should be charged for my room. I expect a refund. If not I will have to sue for my back being hurt.

Great location. Hotel is in the front of the beach and easy access to Sri Aurobindo ashram. Staff are really good and as soon as you request for something and it gets done. Welcoming guests was good. Room was not so great although they say hotel maintains heritage but hotel room requiring updating. Room facing street food at the back is quite noisy and smelly and can't keep windows open. We had few other issues for e.g. there was no locker in the room, balcony was broken and unsafe. Next day they changed our room facing sea and it was much better but because there was parade going on hence seaside view was not possible. Breakfast options were quite good. Hotel is quite pricy

The food here was excellent. And although the staff was kind and friendly, the majority of them did not speak english which created miscommunication and slow service. I think the staff needs more support from upper management. The staff we greatly appreciated are Asing (restaurant), Kalai (Laundry/room), Asis (Email correspondence), and Praneetha (spa). We were on the second floor room 22 and 23. Both rooms had mold and we also found cockroaches in our bathrooms at night. Our mattress in room 22 was also terrible. Big disappointment.
