    Had a disappointing stay at this hotel. The location was inconvenient, and the hotel was a far cry from the photos - rooms were small and congested. The rates were steep for the state, and the complimentary breakfast was underwilled with limited options. Plus, the place was uncomfortable with mosquitoes buzzing around. Not worth the money, would not recommend.

    Poor Stay

    vibha m.

    In our 2 day stay in Cradle, we faced issues with hot water on both the days while taking a shower. When asked about this issue, the front desk told us to adjust for the time being. Also faced issues with bed, when we told the front desk, the front desk told us to leave the hotel although we had paid the stay beforehand. He also ridiculed that we paid less for the stay. , which is overpriced for this shit place with poor management and no basic amenities. The management is not professional, no basic respect to guests. No decency.

    I had a great stay. Specially I was amazed to see the 2D paintings, beautifully illustrating the property. The room was extremely huge, which prevented suffocation and gave us sufficient space to move around the room, free and comfortable. The Cradle made our memories of Pondicherry, more precious and peaceful. Thank you.

    Property's location was one of the best thing, just the centre of the city. Everything was so reachable from here. The food was also delicious. The care takers were so kind. I would love to stay here again whenever I visit pondi again.

    The stay was very good and the room was really nice with good ambience. The breakfast was excellent. Only cons is the cost was high and they don't have a restaurant to have dine in for lunch or dinner.

    We stayed at The Cradle over a long weekend and while the concept of the property is nice, the overall maintenance is below average. There’s no restaurant and only breakfast is served (all veg, with very limited options). We had booked Duplex rooms, but both ours and our friends’ rooms were poorly maintained – the bed wasn’t fixed properly, the bed sheets weren’t clean, and overall hygiene was lacking. The only saving grace was the staff, who were genuinely helpful and polite. Considering the higher-end price during the long weekend, the experience didn’t really match up to expectations.

    Not worth the cost and the cradle experience itself is underwhelming!

    shrinidhi s.couple

    This property has been maintained very poorly! Please do not get fooled by the images you see. The sheets and mattress are spoiled and full of stains! Location wise, its in the middle of busy area. The streets are narrow, so be mindful if you are driving down with your own car. They do have a secured and covered parking tho. Food wise, they do serve breakfast with limited items. Other then that, there is no kitchen and hence you will be left at the mercy of swiggy and zomato for even a cup of tea. Basic cutlery are missing from the room by default but you can get them by requesting for them. If you do opt for the ones with balcony, you will not see any covers in the torn furnitures downstairs.
