I had a pleasant stay at Annai Residency during my visit to Pondicherry. The location is excellent — very close to the beach, White Town, and the main tourist spots, making it convenient for sightseeing and dining.
Rooms were clean, reasonably spacious, and well-maintained. The air-conditioning worked well, and the bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were hygienic with good water supply. It's a budget-friendly hotel, so facilities are basic but decent for the price.
The staff were polite and helpful, always available for any assistance. Room service was prompt, and check-in/check-out process was smooth.
If you're looking for a simple, clean, and affordable place to stay in the heart of Pondicherry, Annai Residency is a solid option.
