Hotels with bicycle rental in Pondicherry - Chennai ECR Road

"The rooms/Accommodation was lovely. The rooms were well appointed and grand. the location, and access to private and clean beaches was the best part of the stay. Proximity to both Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram too was just perfect. to each place was an hours drive either north or south on ECR road. What was a big downturn was both the Quality of food and hygiene at Dune 's restaurants. Food was greasy overcooked or poorly flavoured run-of-the mill. The cook at the Dosa counter was unhappy and dishing out undercooked Dosas for Breakfast. The Flies in the Dining areas are a HUGE turnoff. YOu can't eat in peace. there are flies everywhere!!! For family travllers who intend to eat inhouse and enjoy the Place, this aspect will definitely put you at a less than happy tone. I strongly encourage the Resort Management to address this. -Deepa"

"We booked through agoda the jacuzzi room and we were given an executive room. And the hotel staff were very rude especially the MD karthik. Hospitality is zero"

" A lovely little hotel on EAst coast road at Auroville Jn (8km from here to Auroville) geographically this hotel is in Tamilnadu though it's a pocket with Pondicherry on both sides. Beach is a brief walk although it's not a very good one. The hotel is just pretty with lots of thought going in its architecture. The staff are extra helpful led by Nithesh who even lent his car to drop my wife to bus station. The food is great, mutton biryani being the star. The room is smallish but well supplied. The bath room has excellent fittings. Shower power 9/10. The linen are crisp and clean. "

"The hotel is located next to the beach and very close to Auroville. Thats the only advantage. The rooms are not great. Bathrooms were cleaned but the old styled flooring made it look very untidy. The hotel really needs a revamping and renovation of all the rooms. "

"Breakfast is too bad. Facilities also not good. Coffee maker is there. But the coffee powder and dairy packets kept only one for one room. When we ask for extra they have not provided and there are no spoons too. Rooms are well maintained and night staff are not good. But it’s very far to city"

"Most of the things were good. Food options were limited as there were only two restaurants nearby (within 2km) and the hotel orders food from these two restaurants only. Location is good as it is 300-350 metres from Serenity beach. Ovarall a good experience "

"Maintained by a foreigner and well managed. Beach is very close but not a clean beach. Surroundings are very dirty & need improvement. Fans were not adequate for such bigger rooms. No place for walking if 3 beds were laid. No A/Cs in the room. No mirror in the room, No TV, Shared bathroom. Food was bought from outside and served for breakfast. Not so good food taste. Worst part was only cash payment was acceptable no card facility or even PAYTM in this digital India Era. Also no power backup in case of power failures. Long way to go to match international standards."
