Go here if you value charm and nature and simple living. It is fantastic for such people. And the prices are subsidised- the main agenda being limited to those who come for long-term stay to go to the ashram and immerse themselves in ashram-related activities. Do not expect comfort and hospitality- they are not in that business- they are in... More

For a twin room they have 2 rates, 600 rupees for a fan, 800 rupees for AirCon. All rooms are clean, clean sheets, fresh towels, TOILET PAPER lol, nice beds, mosquito nets in... More

Before I go any further I must say that our stay here was great: clean rooms, tranquil garden and plenty of rest. Unlike 90% of India's budget guesthouses this place takes cleanliness seriously but that comes as no surprise: everything is taken seriously at the park. It is famous in Pondy for the curfew and miserable staff. It's actually funny... More

I was in this guesthouse in November 2012. The guesthosue was one of the cleanest places that I've been in India and the price for the room was quite cheap. Our room had balcony, big (simple) bathroom and two beds. Actually the furnishing feel quite "hospital-like" but I prefer a clean room like this one, than those colourful-but-dirty ones that... More

The view from the room on 2nd floor was really amazing. Right infront of the rock beach. Apart from that, the guest house is really worth the stay at reasonable price. And it is inspirational. Liked the messages everywhere. You can also get cycles on rent.

from the little we knew the Park guest House was our first choice to stay. We were able to book straight in 'though there is a central checking in place. The room was clean and had two single beds with mosquito nets. The shower/toilet had hot water. The view from the balcony was spectacular with the sea breaking and the... More

Good and silent place to live in. Stayed for one night at the Park Guest House. On arrival staff informed us that there are no enough rooms but in the end found one. This guest house actually not a hotel just a place to live in . The restaurant is having food that you cannot imagine. better to dine outside.... More

After travelling India for 3 months this hostel was on the bottom of the list. The staff were so rude, we were afraid to ask for anything ! We firstly had a room with aircon which cost more than the rooms with just a fan obviously, but for some reason the more expensive rooms were on the bottom floor with... More

This place is no hotel. It is a basic guest house for visitors to the Ashram. The rooms are neatly maintained and some of them have AC in them (albeit old units). But the staff is sometimes rude and unpredictible. Sometimes, they turn you away even if they have rooms. I have come here many times before and the couple... More
