Very nice rooms, very clean. Including the linnen en towels. The staff is very helpful if you have any questions or want fresh towels. They also offer to clean the room every day. We slept perfectly. Only downside were the rock hard and to big cushions. On our laundry day there was a strike so we had no other option... More

We booked this guesthouse from the reviews and also lonely planet. Yes, I understand its a budget priced room, but it was pretty grim. At check in the young boy said the owner / manager would be in later. He didn't know the wifi code, but showed us the room. Room 5 is just about big enough for two single... More

I had spotted the place on my first visit to Pondicherry with friends. We (me and friends) decided to stay here on our second visit, since the place seemed nice and worthwhile. We arrived early because that was the timing of our bus. Once we got to the place, after waiting for 1 hour, I was connected to the apparent... More

We stayed one night at Kailash Guesthouse. The room was 1250 Rs. The reservation via E-Mail worked out fine although we did not pay a deposit. The room was very clean. We especially liked the location - it is centrally located and we could walk to all the places that we were interested in. A delicious sweets shop (Krishna Sweets)... More

I'm on a tight budget as I travel around India (and the rest of Asia) for several months, and this guesthouse really is a gem and for the price, it's a steal! The staff are super friendly, kind and helpful, the rooms are clean, cute and have character, the location is perfect (across from an Indian sweet shop and a... More

Fan room was small but really clean and all I needed. Place felt also safe place to stay. Staff was really friendly and helpful especially younger boy and older man. Laundry was arranged from the gueshouse. They will have in the future really nice restaurant. It was decorated but not yet opened.

This place was fantastic! A group of eight of us visited Pondicherry and stayed for two nights about a month ago. There were a selection of rooms available, I stayed in a double non-A/C room with a friend. Room and bathroom were clean, spacious and simply -but well-decorated. Complimentary water bottles were provided too! There's a common living room available... More

Only 10 rooms or so, and 4 maids working throughout the day. There are nice communal areas on two of the floors with fridges,etc. This place made my trip to... More
