Great Location. Highly affordable. Near to most of the landmarks in Pondicherry. Booking can be done through email and paying an advance. If you plan to travel by road (for e.g., Chennai airport etc) you can ask them for arranging a cab. Their travel agent's rate is cheaper as compared to other travel agents. But the service has to improve.... More

Basic air conditioned rooms and toilets,no tv since it belongs to the ashram complementary breakfast with Bread Jam Butter, Egg omlettes as well as Indian Breakfast. Lunch and dinner is good for Southindian food lovers.My wife and daughter loved the lunch. The ashram is close... More

I travelled to Pondicherry along with my parents and after doing a lot of research, decided to stay at Sea side guest house...I only have positive things to say about this property...very clean and comfortable rooms...right infronth of the sea...very nice and homely food....value for money etc etc...Strongly recommend this place to stay for families.

We stayed there two nights. The place was clean and had nice view. Food was simple and very indian. As we are in Pondicherry, we wanted to eat western food. Even our breakfast was included, we did not want to eat there at all. Maybe the food is good for indian people, but not for foreigners. My friend was sick... More

Perfect place to stay in Pondy! Right on the promenade with fabulous views and easy walking distance to anywhere you want to go around town. Rooms were very clean, staff friendly, efficient and helpful and you just can't beat the price! It is run by the ashram so they have their rules but they're fair enough and makes for a... More

I happened to book this hotel for my brothers who come to Chennai every year to stay in this hotel. This year also I booked for him over phone. When wanted to check in , the useless persons in the reception asked for passport copies of my brothers family. Fortunately, I was in Chennai at my home at that time... More
