Room is small and construction is ageing.
Breakfast and location both are good.
No parking facility which is a pain.
There was no beer available in the hotel bar which is quite surprising in a place like Puducherry where they have a liquor shop in every street

Only hotel location was good due to which I booked this property. Otherwise the drainage smell once you step out of cab is so horrible. No proper seating to wait in the lobby and no proper welcoming attitude of staff as they didn’t even provided welcome drinks to us and instead they kept us waiting for more than 40 minutes to get the rooms cleaned before allotting it to us
Except location I felt nothing is good. Buddha bay has lot of mosquitoes. Story teller bar is one single entry without any ventilation….food is not at all up to mark but prices are of 5 star hotel.

The only thing great about this hotel is its location. The room service was terrible. The breakfast average and the general cleanliness in the property is appalling and leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely not worth paying the money that we did

The hotel has a very nice location directly on the beach promenade and is tastefully decorated.
The breakfast is good and varied.
The restaurant on the roof terrace is highly recommended as it offers a varied cuisine of Indian, Thai and Japanese.
I ate there several times and it was always top quality.
At the beginning of my stay there were minor laxities regarding service, which were resolved after I addressed them.
On Sunday, opposite my room, the other two rooms were being renovated, which caused a lot of noise. On another day, holes were being drilled with the drill at around 23:30. After my intervention, the activities were immediately stopped.

Upon arrival we were met by very helpful and friendly staff. A Doorman sorted out our suitcases for us and the Reception staff were polite and helpful. Our room was large and clean & tidy with a view overlooking the old lighthouse and the promenade and Bay of Bengal. We stayed for 4 nights on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast and general dining arrangements were first class and the staff were were polite and helpful, as were the Egg Chefs. There was plentiful food which was a fine selection of Indian cuisine. The location was superb sitting nicely on the promenade which has now been pedestrianised and was clean and tidy. All front of house staff were well presented and most helpful as were the housekeeping staff. A special thankyou to the young Manager, Asis Kumar Sahoo, who went out of his way to try and secure us tickets for the IPL CSK v Kolkata match the following Sunday. We thank him for his support towards us and to his entire team of staff for making our stay pleasant. Kind regards, Allan & Christine
There was nothing to dislike.

the location is perfect. you can’t beat it. there is a spa onsite which was lovely. staff are friendly but sometimes service took ages. I had to send a steak back and wait over half an hour for a hairdryer.
I used to work for a boss who said you don’t sleep in restaurants so don’t eat in hotels. I would say this would be good advice. the hotel location is perfect. clean and safe. but there are many fab places to eat very close by.

We had a satisfactory stay at The Prominade. Travlled as a family with 2yo, and 6mo. Location was excellent, convenient to shopping and the beach. The pool was good also, well liked by the kids. The restaurant food was good.
The hotel was very noisy. The walls and doors were very thin, so heard comings and goings throughout the night, and lots of noise from the rooftop bar. We requested a roll-out bed for our 2yo daughter - this was made on our booking, again at check in, and again with a follow up phone call. At 9:30pm at night (2 hours after our children went to bed) housekeeping knocked very loudly on our door, awakening the kids, to try and deliver the roll out bed. Breakfast was overpriced if not booked through the booking.

I visited pondi for 5 days with our 4 year kid. We split our stay in 2 parts , 3 days in other hotel nd 2 days in white town . We booked the promenade to stay and explore white town.
Staff at reception counter(the male one) was so disrespectful. He assured us to give us a sea view room (for which i have done the booking! 14k per day from 1-3rd march thru booking.com) at higher floor as we didnt like rooms at first floor. He denied later ,that too in very disrespectful way. The room was no where near to the cost taken. We got a broken chair for which housekeeping person took 45 mins to fix it after we checked in , means without checking room condition they just give to guest. We requested for a extra chair , called 4 times ,but our request was overheard.
Apart from that the restaurant service was bizarre. Rooftop restaurant don't take room service order, seriously.. Ground floor restaurant accepts room service , top floor doesn't.. blah blah...
Back to your first floor sea view rooms, anyone walking on road in front of your hotel can easily peep into room, which is so big no to privacy , we didnt liked the room, upper floor rooms were empty still after requesting so many times team didnt bother to respond.
Conclusion- the location of the hotel is good, but if you want value for money and respect as guest i wont recommend thid.
