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.

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.

No parking in and around the hotel where the roads are cordoned off. The temperature inside the rooms and the dining area is very cold and can be maintained at room temperature to make the stay ckmfortable.

Save your money and time and avoid this hotel. It’s not worth the price they charge. Outdated, shabby rooms and facilities. The bathroom felt unclean and unkept. Breakfast had minimal options and the food was cold. The WiFI never worked and the staff had no solutions to the issues as they were raised. Honestly this was a disappointing stay.

The only plus point was the location in this property. I am a returning guest and came back here after a gap of 10 years and experienced a massive let down in terms of hotel services. My last experience was charming which made me book this hotel again but this time the experience was terrible. Service by the staff was late and not responsive most of the time. The bathroom was not clean, amenities were in bad state and quality and the food at the in house restaurants were overpriced looking at the service standard and staff efficiency. They are charging 5 star price for a 2 -3 star property. It’s very sad because the property has so much potential but lack proper management.

It was on sea front. Very beautiful The room was shabby. The bathroom was awful The floor boards were bumpy and quite unsafe for us octagenarians The room was not worth for the price we paid When we complained they offered a smaller room with no outside view. We refused We should be compensated
