Lotus Comfort-A Pondy Hotel

This hotel has been built with a lot of facilities but several of those cease to exist now. The hotel is now like a 2 star business hotel. They charge you for an early check in or a late check out even if it is just 4 hours. The rooms are well maintained and neat. The bathroom fittings are not in the best order. Dripping pipes and broken taps. They have a so called restaurant which only serves basic options for breakfast. The only plus is its location, very close to Nehru street, the promenade as well as the heritage town.

A very average hotel. The staff wasn't willing to go out of their way to accommodate any of the guest's wishes. Rooms were big. Decent for the price. Good location.

I stayed in Lotus Comfort in SV Patel road, Pondy for 3 nights.I was amazed with the room and its furnishings.It was world class. The location of the hotel is wonderful.Casablanca, Titanic factory outlet is at a stones throw from the hotel.Nehru street is also not that far. I hired an auto to see the Auroville. However, due to an unfortunate incident that happened in the hotel , all the windows in all rooms are made unable to open.Hence, the room smells so bad once you enter. It takes you about 5-10 min to get sync with the atmosphere. I asked the room boy to bring a room spray to escape from that filthy smell.I even thought of cancelling the room .Since, no cancellation was available I had to live with it for 3 nights. The management has to do something to remove the smell and allow the windows to be opened.Since the rooms are air conditioned,the same air makes once's stay very uncomfortable. I reiterate, except for that smell, the rooms, service, ambience are wonderful. The complimentary break fast is completely western.Bread, jam , omlette, coffee and juice. If you dont have a sensitive nose, Lotus Comfort is a heaven.
