All units have a balcony and a satellite flat-screen TV equipped with cable channels, as well as air conditioning and heating. Every unit is equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and some have city views. At the homestay, each unit has bed linen and towels.

The property is situation in very prime location. We just arrived there in car and rest of all our sight seeing we did on foot. We did not need to rent any two wheeler or other mode of transport. The beach, sunday market and all the best of restaurants were within walking distance. The staff and hotel manager were very polite, helpful and caretaking. The rooms were extraordinarily clean and well maintained. The room I stayed had balcony and very relaxing in the evening after coming back from sightseeing. We have made up our mind to avail the same facility whenever we plan our next stay in Pondicherry.

    William and the two other staff members made our visit to Puducherry warm, welcoming and memorable. This homestay is in a fantastic area with great accessibility to the centre. It is quiet and comfortable with a beautiful collection of statuettes, ceiling art and interfaith altar reflecting the diversity of the city. The twin room was spacious with big beds and a table. The Indian breakfast was great, laundry service was fast and affordable, and William really goes out of his way to welcome his guests and get to know them! Thank you.
