La Closerie - Bay of Bengal

Stayed here for a week in upstairs room. Very spacious with lots of shelves, modern bathroom, AC and fan. Great location in one of Pondy’s best street. Breakfast is only served 9-10am which can be quite late for travellers. Also there’s no free filtered water for guests so you have to buy plastic bottles not great for the environment! The pool is nice and I liked that there are different little communal spaces to hang out in. It’s a shame that the kitchen is only open for one hour at breakfast, it would have been good to have lunch or dinner up there sometimes. All in all it’s a nice safe space for a female solo traveller.

We booked a large room . The photos seem large and elegant . Very overpriced for this low quality. No windows in room not furnished as photo no bathroom supplies 2 PowerPoints for 3 peoples computers and phones our daughter had to make the bed herself and ask for a towel . The staff was very unprofessional but friendly . The young boy who checked us in didn’t really know what he was doing. There is no chair or wardrobe I stayed at this hotel before but it had a different owner and was a family rum business. The common area is not really clean and taken care off
