This was by far the worst hotel i have stayed in. The manager and receptionist do not even have smile on the face. It is terribly maintained. We changed the room twice, but even the third one was as bad. The room was tiny, AC was not powerful enough, and the bathroom was unclean. When asked for shampoo and soap,... More

There is nothing good about this place however throughout I had never seen anything like this happened before. Power was down in a completely unventilated room. Cannot tell you guys the torture we've been through. Please see if you've a better choice before staying here.

Ginger is supposed to be a no frills budget hotel catering to business traveler. This one is certainly not budget and for them no frills means cheap and poor quality. Very small and congested rooms, bad quality and cheap furniture and unavailability of even the basic stuff. Rooms can be compared to the lodges where you pay Rs 700 (USD... More

The only bad thing I can think of is that Ginger is located on the other side of town from where all the action is (but near the airport). However since you will be renting a two-wheeler in Pondicherry anyway, that hardly matters. This couple-friendly hotel is clean, and fairly efficient; though understaffed. Had a bit of trouble with the... More

this is a real budget hotel. rooms are neat and clean but a/c is poor. reception and service are good staff are courteous and helpful. food is good and the hotel is very near to airport and most of the places to visit. local transport is right next to the entrance of the hotel.

It was worth the money paid for. I have been to more expensive places where it was worse. I think it is value for money. I was there for 3 days with 3 of my friends and 2 of us shared the room. We were quite comfortable and we liked it better than other places we have stayed in Pondicherry... More
