Thendralhomestay sea view

It was nice.just the location was problematic

Location

Quiet location on the outskirts of Pondicherry. Budget accommodation with walking distance to get a tuk tuk. An added bonus was being able to park our vehicle securely.

The rubbish surrounding this area.

The Rooms are big and comfortable

The room is small but well cleaned, A/C and the fan were both great. The bathroom was very small but had good hot water. Its great value for money the owner is friendly when you see him but he is only a phone call away.

It is not a homestay as advertised as the owner doesn't live/stay there. I had to let myself in key was left on the window so you don't get the personal touch like a genuine homestay, toilet paper and towels are not provided which is very poor. Communal areas are not that clean. It's positioned away from everything in not the best part of the town no lights so a torch would be a good idea. Puducherry town is a bus or tuk tuk ride away. It is not a bad place if you want to be away from the noise and crowds, it wasn't what i expected from the description or reviews maybe it's just me, but i have been travelling around India for the last couple of months and stayed mainly in homestays . I can see there would be lots of people who would like the tranquility. If on a budget it is fantastic if you want a homestay look elsewhere.
