    Honest Re

    gautham s.group

    I stayed at the hostel in Pondicherry for a night, but the experience was a bit of a letdown. The hostel's appearance didn't match the online photos, and despite claiming to have parking, we had to park on the road. The AC in our room was malfunctioning throughout the day and eventually stopped working due to thick ice formation, which suggested a lack of maintenance. However, the receptionist, Ashwin, was very helpful and made an effort to make our stay better. Maybe with some improvements in service and accuracy in online representation, the hotel could live up to its potential.

    The property is located in a convenient location to Rock Beach, Promenade Beach, Baker Street and others cafés (kofi bar, bread and chocolate, coromandel) - all within 5-10 minutes distance by rented bike. The property is decently maintained and great option for low budget / solo travellers. They also have a terrace area to chill and connect with others.

    The stay at eness hostel was an amazing experience. The best part of this hostel is its prime location which gives access to many places within an area of 2-3 km. The place is decorated vibrantly and brings lots of positivity. I travelled solo and found it very safe. Since I would like eness hostel to be best, I would recommend some sort of music or entertainment organised in hostel at night to make the travellers time at hostel unforgettable. I would surely look upon visiting eness hostel again!!!

    Terrible service for two days—we paid 7,000 but had an overpriced and disappointing experience. It was not as expected. My friend’s AirPods were stolen by someone nearby on the bunk beds, and the space was very congested.

    Dear Guest, Sorry to hear that. We are selling at least price with better service, no doubt on that.. A fellow guest stealing something from you is bad, but it doesn't come under hostel responsibility. but we helped you to find it back, it would be fair if you would have mentioned that too! we are continuously working on betterment with the cumulative feedback! Visit us next time, you will see things better :)
