A reasonable hotel in a good spot outside of the French Quarter. Food in the restaurant was good, room a little tired. The bar needs daylight not neon lighting, and so much more could be made of the rooftop pool. A reasonable pool was an absolute must for us, otherwise we would have stayed in the French Quarter - although the promenade really isn't anything to write home about.

Dated hotel used mostly by travel groups. Very limited English speaking staff which is really not acceptable considering they are a four star hotel and charge those prices. Rooms are old but cmfortable

The breakfast is horrible. The staff are dis courteous.
The room linen was dirty and torn and used
Location is good but the people at the hotel and the service is just pathetic

The service was really good. All staff were polite, and the hotel was kind enough to allow a last minute extension of our booking as well as a late checkin. A simple, clean business hotel with nice Christmas decorations and a diverse breakfast spread. I'd definitely recommend to travellers to Pondicherry

I love the front office and bellboys ('bell men') hahaha. They were very professional. The pondicherry seafood soup was just out of this world and its my greatest memory.

Good hotel at a great location. We opted for the duplex room to accommodate the kids comfortably and they really enjoyed the separate upstairs bed 😊. I drove down to pondicherry and was very particular that the hotel needs to have proper parking space for my SUV. As you know, many of those boutique hotels in pondy has issues with parking and most of the time you have to do a street side parking which is very much a hassle. Shenbaga has proper parking and valet.
The restaurant needs special mention, the Pondicherry special Prawns and fish dishes were really tasty. The buffet breakfast was also a good spread, catering to Indian and foreign guests.
Overall I am happy with the hotel.

The hotel was nice and pleasant, the room was very large, and the staff was helpful, but the room smelled of smoke and the linen and towels were greyish.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The room was spacious and clean, but in need of updating. We experienced a lot of noise - both from our neighbours’ children (the interconnnecting door seemed to have little sound proofing) and the hallway (decor is predominantly tiled/hard surfaces and seemed to be an echo chamber). The bed was very hard. Good hot water but bathroom dated and the workmanship appeared amateur. Wifi was good. The rooftop pool area was spacious with plenty of loungers. Breakfast (included) was predominantly Indian, with an egg station - quality and choice average. Location was ok, a 10 minute walk from the northern end of the beach. In hindsight I wish we stayed in one of the quaint villas in the heart of the French Quarter.

The food, ambience and room were quite good. More importantly my kids liked the room and the overall atmosphere. The hotel staffs were very courteous and friendly too. My only worry to stay at a hotel in Pondicherry was the terrible sight of drunken men walking around and it might create an inauspicious scene to our stay. But, that didn't happen. I think the hotel staffs ensured that there is a neat space for people to co-exist. All in all a very satisfying stay for our family.

The duplex type room is ideal for a family of 4. The breakfast buffet was not overboard, but quite good.

Nice hotel in a quiet location. It is rustic and not so expensive. They just charge too much for water (4 times the market price), which is not appropriate in my view.

The location of the hotel, facilities available and food in the tulip restaurant inside the hotel are good. Actually the breakfast buffet was very tasty except for a roach that crawled on our table. However, I appreciate the restaurant manager who was courteous and professional.The hotel has a lot of scope to improve in the concierge and front desk services. Staff are not proactive, well trained and welcoming. Overall, it was not great for the price we paid.

Vasanth Food Nd beverage Manager was quite helpful. Appreciate his efforts in greeting me the medicines that I needed.

Nice hotel and great location

As a relatively new hotel in Puducherry, this hotel is nice enough.
I guess the relatively lower price is due to its location
Although rated 4-star, service isn't top notch and could be improved.
The out door swimming pool on the 8th floor in good enough
Rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are cool
2.0
Overall a good hotel, but did have some issues with housekeeping services, which were resolved by room service. Good food, nice room and a fantastic location
