A colonial touch blended with the robust Tamil culture, Pondicherry is just a two-hour picturesque drive away from Chennai. Visit here for the cobblestone cycling-friendly streets, the rich history of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and some of the best cafes in which to hang out. A place where lethargy is a virtue, enjoy the sun rise at the widely used beachfront. The same place converts into a local hangout at night when traffic is stopped and post-dinner walkers turn out for ice cream.

The latest Heritage hotel of Pondicherry. Located in the hearth of the old French town, near the business area, in front of State bank of India, close to the seaside and the Aurobindo Ashram, this old 19th-century house has been renovated and a new contemporary wing has been added. With its clean lined interiors, craftsmanship, woodwork, Villa Shanti brings you a new experience in town.
So first of all, this review I am writing is on the basis of my dine-in experience. They also have rooms for a stay but I cannot comment on that because I did not get a chance to experience it. I, along with my wife and a 15-month-old toddler, went there for dinner. It was my wife's birthday and I really wanted to have a good experience and amazing food. I must say, this place did not disappoint me at all. Right from the food, customer service, nice and well-mannered staff, almost everything was perfect. The only downside I could think of is that there were no A.C's in the dining area. One can imagine being there during summers. Eating is not fun while sweating. Apart from that, this is a must place to visit when you travel to pondy.

The Radisson Resort Pondicherry Bay awaits you in a quaint coastal fishing village of the small yet varied Pondicherry on the southern coast of India. Nestled between a lagoon and the popular Paradise Beach, the serene resort creates a perfect balance with the lively nearby city center, which attracts many tourists with its unmistakable French connection, cosmopolitan flair, and inherent ambiance. Pondicherry's beautiful colonial architecture is reflected throughout the resort's design, with Franco-Tamil inspired interiors and the use of local materials like the classic Athugudi floor tiles from Chettinad. Guests can enjoy maximum comfort and wonderful views of the surrounding area and lagoon in the 46 chalets and 5 villas.
The Radisson Hotel is stunningly beautiful. The white buildings of the Hotel contrast with the Green verdant gardens. We stayed in a groundfloor chalet near the Bay Bistro restaurant. The chalet had a small garden behind it which is accessible through French doors. The outside verandah has a pleasant sit out area. The room itself is quite spacious. One oops moment as the chaise at the foot of the bed was creaking ominously. We realised that the plywood base was very thin and unstable. Raja, the housekeeping incharge got us a rollaway bed and assured us we would not be charged as it was fault of hotel ( A view not held by Mr Surya at reception who phoned at 10 pm after we slept to ask for bed back or he would charge us). The only Grinch at Radisson. Not quite sure why calling late night was needed. The rooms are 3 occupancy . Vignesh and Vidhya were were efficient and kind to settle us in. Mr Clarence at Bay Bistro Restaurant in contrast was gentleman to the core. It was a pleasure to meet him. He assured us any dishes we liked would be provided even if not in menu. The hotel is close to Eden Beach. After exiting an outdoor play area we can go through rough trail and climb a short ramp to the promenade that leads to the beach. The beach has white sands and is incredibly clean. The hotel has a salt splash pool or kids with salt water and a larger pool for adults. There is a sundeck where snacks are served approximately betweem 4 and 5 pm. The property is sparkling and clean. Very relaxing place.

We booked 2 rooms here and had to book extra room due to extra guests. All fine upon entering the room. Every corner covered in dust. Toilet lights not working, flush not working. When I complained to the staff they came to solve the issues after which constantly something else was giving us issues. Went to speak to the manager and all he had to say was housekeeping didn’t do a proper job. Isit guests job to educate your staff? Very poor service, poor quality of room. Overall a very unpleasant stay. Believe the good reviews at your own risk.

I picked this hotel as it had good reviews. I am sure the reviews are from locals or traveling within India. The rooms were ok size as was the bathroom. Shower was always hot and powerful but due to the hard water had a lot of scaling to the hardware. Beds was large and comfortable. The whole hotel I felt needs a complete refurb as it is looking very tired and also the reception staff need an update on greeting customers, not one happy face in sight, except Arun and the restaurant staff. A reasonable choice for breakfast and dinner but not upto usual 4/5* standard. Internet was slow and kept dropping out. This Hotel is Not for westerners! ( Just to confirm I am Indian!)
