Chalets in Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge

"What a lovely motel – exactly what we were looking for! It’s clean, there’s a beautiful and well-maintained pool with toys, and we really appreciated being able to park right outside our door. We received a warm welcome. We arrived a little early, but luckily a room was already available. It was great that they were so accommodating. The souvenir selection was a nice touch! There are plenty of dining options nearby. Mt. Washington is easily accessible from the motel. We had planned to take the train up to the Mount Washington Observatory Deck, which was a fantastic experience. We truly enjoyed our stay here! Greetings from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱"

"Left with mixed feelings. We were friendly greeted. The room was fantastic. Clean, spacious, excellent bed and shower. The scenery of the lobby and backdrop of the mountains is stunning. We decided to have dinner at the hotel. The staff was very friendly but probably understaffed. It took a very long time to get the order in and adter the first course it took about 30 minutes for the second. We didn’t mind too much but there was a guy sitting next to us who waited equally as long just to make his order. We simply didn’t see any staff for 30 minutes at all. The food was average to be honest. I had their signature burger which was very dry and tough to swallow. The fries very salty. Not great, not bad. Dessert was good on the other hand. There was a mixup with the bill (we got it from another table) so had to walk to the counter. Honest mistake and was solved quickly and friendly. Next morning we decided to checkout first and then stay for brunch. There was nobody at the counter and there was a sign to simply drop the keys so we did. We went over to the breakfast/dinner area. We ordered drinks first which again took a long time time to arrive. You could tell she’d forgot because when she returned to take our food order she noticed we hadn’t received our drinks. The food was okay, and not expensive. I received our invoice during breakfast which stated a weird charge so had to go to the counter to sort that out. It was yet another mistake. Staff is friendly yet many mistakes. "

"Very nice hotel We were booked in the separate accomodation for 10 people Nice house. Surrounding all good Only the train passes relatively close and makes a lot of noise in the night Passing train at 0100 and 0300 with lots of horn signaling "

"This simple motel has seen better days. Everything look tired and in need of modernisation. The room smelled so strongly of cleaning agent that we could only sleep with the windows open."

"What a mess. €209 for a night you could better have spend in a barn. Not a normal breakfast (not even tea) and workers started working in a room next to mine at 0800 when I was working. Too expensive, terrible old mess. Check out at 10am also way too early. "

"Not the best hotel. No breakfast at all. Expensive in comparison with quality. Roomservice came in twice."
