    Pondy with family

    divya m.family with 3 kids

    Had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and hygienic. The swimming pool was nice — perfect for spending some quality time with family and friends. It’s one of the best places to stay in Pondicherry. As usual, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but honestly, it’s worth the money for the comfort and experience. The only drawbacks are that there’s no security at the gate — guests have to open and close the main gate themselves — and the parking area is quite small. If someone parked first needs to leave, others may have to move their cars. Overall, it’s a really nice place to stay and relax

    Nice property, smallish room

    irfan j.family with 1 kid

    The property is not far from the french town (promenade area) just a few kms. The property itself is good. We took the standard room which was a little small (just had walking space around the bed) and the bed was also small (listed as queen bed but i think it was smaller maybe a double bed size). The other rooms could have been better, but I can't say for sure. P. S. The only issue was the room size and the bed size, everything else about the property was fine.

    We had a very good experience at this hotel. Rooms and washrooms are clean. Swimming pool is well maintained. The staff is also good and helpful. It’s a kind of Villa where it’s different from routine hotels. So good for family or couples to enjoy the trip!

    La Retreat Garden - Highly Not Recommended for North Indian Famil

    nitesh k.family with 2 kids

    Very poor hospitality & limited resources. Reception can only speak Tamil & hotel management should keep staff who can talk atleast English. For boiling Milk also he restricted to go only 1 person and it was not well equipped. During checkout, I went ahead and submitted my key, the reception person was so rude as if we are taking his items. I have booked 3 rooms and usually all hotels have morning breakfast included, they did not had and infact they did not even offerred. The behaviour was as we have booked, we can stay, it hardly matters to them. Final thing is that this hotel is not worth for any North Indian Family who visits from far places. Also, I feel that considering the hospitality, room size and amenities, I have paid double the price.

    Greetings from LA GARDEN RETREAT ! We understand your concern but we would like to clarify few things from our side. kitchen is not mentioned anywhere for guests usage. still our staffs helped with everything you asked (that includes milk for the baby) this is purely miscommunication coz of the language barrier and now we fixed it too! hope to host you again soon. regards LA GARDEN RETREAT
