This review is for Dormitories
Location is great, right next to Auroville visitor center. And if you are looking to a Dormitory, this is a good bargain.
Though there are some drawbacks, particularly if you are staying for longer duration- dorm is basically a big hall partitioned into separatw enclosures by curtains. I was in a small space with 3 beds, where ideally the size was enough for 2 beds only. Also if you get a bed in middle of hall, it is dark, no sunlight.
Another issue maybe noise. There is a restaurant right outside hall, which also acts as common room for backpackers late in the night. So if you want to sleep early, may be difficult with people talking.
