Hotel Atithi

Good, spacious, clean rooms. Service was a bit slow. Good hotel overall.

Accessibility & location: In the unassuming city of Pondicherry, Hotel Atithi stands regal and impressive. The hotel's exterior is amazing in itself. The hotel is close to most of the city's attractions - the Ashram, Pondy bazaar, the Promenade, and is in a fairly quiet locality. Facilities: The ambiance of the hotel is very relaxing and beautiful. It��s contemporary but easy on the eyes. The spacious lifts work great. There is a spa and gym if you are into that kind of thing. Staff: The staff at Atithi was extremely courteous. The front desk staff was extremely helpful with sight-seeing suggestions. Housekeeping and kitchen staff were always ready to serve with a smile on their face. If there��s anything you want here, these people will get it for you. Cleanliness & Hygiene: The room was very clean and tidy. The only thing that went amiss for us �� the duvet cover smelled a little musty but when we asked them to change it, they did that immediately. And that never happened again. Hot water is always available. The only things you might want to note is that there are no floor-to-floor carpets (though we didn��t mind) and no bathtub. No great view to talk about. But the pool is on the terrace!, which I thought was very unique. You can catch the sun rise on the sea if you go out to the pool. Food: Probably the highlight of this hotel was the food, especially the complimentary breakfast spread. Amazing food and great variety. From cheese omelets, to croissants with marmalade, to idli sambar, to puri-bhaji, the food tasted great too! And the filter coffee - totally worth it!! Overall, if you are visiting Pondicherry, Atithi is a great hotel to choose. Have fun!

The hotel is clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly. rooms are large and convenient. Breakfast needs to have some more continental options. Altogether - good option

The hotel is nicely located, near to main city and beach. The maintanence is excellant. The suit was spacious, clean with excellant view. The roof top swimming pool and health club was superb. The beach was visible from the roof top. You can have a sea view while swimming in the pool. The staff was courteous. My kids loved the place and food.

Travel Guru cheated us by booking Business suit instead of Family suit which is shown on the website. Hotel personnel told us that travelguru had a call with them and they were aware of the same. I didn't expect this kind of service from big portal like travelguru. I will now think second time to do any booking through travelguru.
