I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the location is fantastic and I enjoyed a free upgrade to a sea-facing room, I was disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. The friendly staff made my experience a bit better, but the facilities and dining options really need improvement. Overall, it's a good place if you're looking for a convenient stay, but there are definitely areas that need attention.

My recent stay at The Promenade in Pondicherry was truly wonderful. I was fortunate to have a sea-facing room that offered stunning views, making it an amazing experience overall. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive during my stay. The only downside was that the service could have been a bit more organized when the hotel was busy. Overall, it's a place I would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The beautiful view from the sea-facing room was a highlight, and the staff were very accommodating and professional. However, the facilities, especially the room quality and maintenance, were not up to par. The old construction led to an unpleasant damp smell, and I found the standards lacking, especially for the price we paid.
Rooms

The room we received faced a bustling area which detracted from the experience. It had a musty odor likely from the age of the building. Overall, the upkeep left a lot to be desired.

The hotel is perfectly situated right by the coastline, offering splendid views of the sea. It's close to local attractions; however, the surroundings might feel overly crowded at times.
Dining

Dining options were quite limited; while the taste was satisfactory, the food preparation left some room for improvement. The experience could have been elevated with better attention to detail.
Facilities

The facilities were underwhelming, particularly the room maintenance and overall cleanliness. The hotel needs to focus on upgrading these aspects to meet guest expectations.

I had a fantastic stay at The Promenade in Pondicherry, celebrating our 30th anniversary. The location is unbeatable, right by the seafront promenade, and the friendly staff made my experience even better. Although the hotel does have some maintenance issues, the overall service, delicious breakfast, and stunning sea views make it worthy. It is slightly on the pricier side for what you get, but I still left feeling very happy with my stay.

Overall, I enjoyed my time but noticed areas that could use improvement.
