Property needs a serious overhaul as soon as possible and as fast as possible. Departments need to be trained on a regular basis. (Engineering contractors need to be instructed to conduct any conversations in an area out of guest view.)
First room alloted wasn't great and had a rather disgusting health faucet. Second room was decent.
Coffee mugs were broken and caused a spill. (IRD) Received no apologies regarding the same.
Hallways were a mess and were dirty, with footprints and dust. Housekeeping trolleys were kept in the reception lobby throughout the day.
Did not feel that this hotel was a part of IHCL except for the staff service.

Room comfortable, good bed and bedding, A/C efficient and quiet, very good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff, very good restaurant, supervisor Narayan went out of his way to get an adaptor for my phone. Only down side: tv and wifi are useless.

Pros: the hotel offers excellent value for what it offers. The room is comfortable and quiet, the bed and bedding are very good, A/C quiet, shower good water pressure, very good breakfast (Indian and Western) and all the staff are super nice and helpful, especially the supervisor Narajan who went the extra mile for me. The restaurant serves very good and varied meals.
Cons: useless wifi and tv

- Room is okay, but rather small
- very loud AC
- breakfast is of minor quality and taste, dirty cups and dishes, breakfastroom was very loud and crowded
6.0
The staff was very helpful and respectful. However, they need to advise the guests that noise carries so guests need to speak in softer levels especially at night.

This hotel doesn't have much going for it: poor location far from Puducherry, mediocre housekeeping, bad maintenance, small rooms, too expensive for what it offers. The second night I was there, at around 1:00am, an electrical plug right next to me bed caught fire, I put it out and call reception. Afer some deliberation, they gave me another room but the AC didn't work. I checked out the following day and didn't pay for that disturbing night.

This was the only hotel with open rooms left during new year and now we know why. The hotel and service was absolutely horrible. We arrive late at night on new years eve. I had booked the hotel over a month in advance with all of our preferences listed. NONE of our preferences were met. We had asked for non-smoking rooms that were adjacent to one another. We received smoking rooms that were not adjacent to each other. We were able to change rooms to another floor for non-smoking rooms. Additionally, every bathroom had a horrible smell that required air freshener to be sprayed every hour and the bathrooms had no ventilation. The shower heads were rusted and the room could use a renovation overall. Our room card didnt work and we had to call the security guard to let us into our room every time we returned to our room. Our late night new years celebrations ended up being cancelled due to trying to resolve all of these issues. Luckily the hotel reimbursed us for 1 rooms cost for 2 nights. However, this was the most expensive hotel stay of all the hotels I have stayed in and this was the absolute worst facility out of all of them. (I stayed in 4 different hotels all better/cleaner and MUCH cheaper than this one). The only positive thing I can say is that the Wi-Fi worked very well.

Service was pathetic, small low category room, overprice room rent, no value for money
I have paid 5500/night for double bed room, it was so small with small television. Toilet flush was not working properly. Service was pathetic. After calling 4 time and complaining on reception they given 1 complementary towel which supposed to be 2 for double bed room.
I stay there for 2 night paid Rs 11000 /- which was total waste. I was trying to checkout next day but it was not possible. I will never recommend to any one this hotel at all.

The stay was satisfactory. But not too good as there are other places giving better facilities.

This property is a blot on Tata brand. Property is maintained so poorly. Since they brand it budget category, probably they feel customers have to put up with very bad maintenance.

Our stay at Ginger Pondicherry was ok. The room was smaller than all other Gingers I have stayed at. So, less space, tiny 20" TV, paint worn off at some places. But, bathroom was clean. We stayed for 5 days - housekeeping wasn't done on one of the days, we too didn't insist as we were too tired. All in all, decent stay. There are plenty of other good options you can try. The hotel at the rate we got during new year was a definitely a good value for money.
8.0
The hotel was really clean and comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful. The service was faultless and the food was pretty good and quite cheap. The hotel was good value for money but the only issue was the location, it is a bit far from the town centre.

On the whole the stay was comfortable. I like to give a suggestion kindly provide good ammenities for the car drivers. The car driver complained to me that the facilities were not good at the hotel compared to others. Kindly look into this matter.Hari

The hotel house keeping needs to get better. The plates were never cleared for 2 days. The reception staff needs to be more aware of the place and should be able to provide information. The reception did not know much about the city and the places to visit !!
They were not helpful when we needed info / help in the late night and we called them to help us with transport.
The t-shirt stall guy is very rude. Looks like they do not want to sell - looks has not heard about customer service.
Overall they need to be more service oriented and polite. Like the town, people are lazy and laid back!!
6.0
Pondicherry was too hot and they did not have a proper split AC. It was the old system AC and it took lot of time to cool the room. That was the major drawback I have faced. Rest everything was as normal as it can be. Any problem was answered and solved immediately. Affordable for a family if you get to book the rooms in discounted priced.
4.0
Ideal for the business traveller and also for travellers who wish to reduce expenses on accomodation. All requirements are available and provided for. The breakfast was excellent and sumptuous.
4.0
A good value for money hotel. Located a few kilometers away from the city center the location was good for us as we had our own car and Pondicherry itself is not a very big city. The hotel room was decent though not perfect - the bedsheets had a few stains and we had to get them changed. The paint in the rooms was coming out at a few places which does not really give a good picture of the maintenance.
The food in the restaurant was decent in quality but the biggest disappointment was the way the big rush was being managed by the restaurant guys at the buffet breakfast. The time was 7:30 but they were barely ready by 8:00 with many people already waiting to start. The restaurant guys had no clue how to manage the rush and surprisingly were taking it easy as if it was a routine affair.
However, at Rs 1500/- a night with complimentary breakfast I would still rate it as a good value for money.
