Sea Gadabout - Seaside Stays

Stay is decent. Close to rock beach road. Stayed in the sea view room. Breakfast was strictly average. Rooms are clean. There are no other specific facilities. Water can be filled from Aquagaurd directly when required.

Our stay was disappointing. The photos online looked great, but the actual place was very different in reality. Also, there was no lift, which made it inconvenient, especially with luggage. The location was okay, but overall the experience didn’t meet our expectations. Would suggest checking recent reviews and photos before booking.

The stay is very nice however, need to improve lot with the food providing there as complimentary. The hotel subordinates are polite

I wouldn’t call it a top-class experience. We arrived early around 2 hrs before and, to our surprise, were made to wait in a tiny lobby that could barely seat two people — even though the room was vacant. No one bothered to clean it in advance, and only at 2:00 PM, our official check-in time, did the receptionist call the staff to start cleaning. What followed was chaos — loud arguments — while we waited patiently. This was particularly upsetting as I had a foreign friend with me. The room itself was okay with centralized AC, but the pillow covers didn’t feel fresh, and I’m not convinced the blanket was changed either. Towels were new, which was a positive. However, the Wi-Fi was terrible and made it impossible for us to work, so we cut our stay short from two days to just one. Breakfast options were very limited — only South Indian — so we ended up going to The Promenade for breakfast instead. Overall, it was an average experience. In hindsight, it might be worth paying a bit more to stay somewhere like The Promenade, where the service and amenities are far more reliable.

Only pros is location. Breakfast options are terrible. Room price is too high as per room standards.

Our stay here was truly wonderful! The property is well-maintained and gives a very calm, refreshing vibe. The highlight for us was definitely the view especially during sunset, which was absolutely breathtaking and made the whole trip extra special. The rooms were neat and comfortable, and the overall ambiance felt warm and welcoming. It’s an ideal place for couples looking for a peaceful getaway, with just the right balance of privacy and scenic beauty. Overall, a memorable stay with beautiful views and a serene atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to unwind and enjoy quality time with their partner.

The place is run like a small guest house and lucky to have a location on the beach road! The view is uncompromising from the sea facing rooms but the whole other experience makes you feel that the pocket was pinched a tad bit too much to only pay for a view! The place was undergoing construction with water running down the steep strais compromising safety! The room upkeep was not so good with dusty wall panels and headstands. Cramped all through. Said hello to a street dog on the 2nd floor since the doors are unguarded

Construction Work is Going on. Toilet was not Clean During arriving. Extra Bed was Briken. mosquito full room.

Very poorly maintained and poor service . Room was not properly cleaned . Curtains were dirty and not replaced inspite of complaining

The experience was good and the breakfast buffet was really tasty, the view was worth it , from your balcony you can see the sunrise and it’s right on the promenade road, we stayed for 2 days.

I went to the hotel for late checkin we where forced to wake up the receptionist guy who is sleeping again after we make him woke! He checked his system and said us that he cannot give the room due to late checkin. What the hell we paid some 5k while booking then how come he say he cannot give us room. Then he locked up in a room for more than 20mins discussed with a guy and came out and saying that you came late so i’m giving room or else i won’t. These are the very rough approach by the receptionist guy. Done choose this hotel

I had a fantastic experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the breakfast options were tasty and satisfying. The staff stood out for their exceptional politeness and hospitality. Highly recommend!

Initially, I thought this would be a great experience. However, the photos posted on website shows big spacious rooms, comparatively the room was much smaller . Secondly, they don't have an inhouse restaurant but yes they provided home cooked vegetarian delicious breakfast. The only falling out was no non veg option was available. At the very least they could have provided boiled eggs. The dining staff was very courteous and professional and friendly, which is one of the 2 things I liked . second thing that I liked was the view. yes the view from balcony was stunning. lastly, while checking out, the front desk denied having personal for carrying luggage downstairs (as they dont have lift) but I don't know what snapped in them suddenly they asked one of the kitchen staff to bring our bag downstairs.

Comfortable stay with beautiful sea facing suite. Breakfast was nice and we asked for jain food that was also prepared on our request. Staff is polite. No early checkins are entertained. But the property as well our suite is quite small as per the amount they charge.

The location was on point, the view was good, the breakfast was good and subtle. Calm environment. Staff was good and their services too, but only service which was not up to the mark was the snacks which was provided to us was chargeable as I expected it to be complimentary .

The location of the hotel is top-notch.It’s located on White town, the most beautiful place in Pondicherry.All major cafés are a walk away.

Our two night stay at Sea Gadabout was wonderful. The hotel offers basic amenities and has a spectacular view from some of their rooms, they do not have a restaurant but there are quite a few options in the vicinity. We reached the hotel at 1pm but were refused to check in as the staff was cleaning the rooms, so we agreed to come back an hour later. The hotel staff was kind enough to allow us to leave our baggage at the reception area. We reached back to the hotel and our room still was not ready, then the staff rushed to finish off some last minute cleaning and gave us the room. Staff were kind but I feel they need some more hospitality training.... all in all it was a good stay all thanks to the view from the room. The ac of the room wasn't functioning like it should have, that could also be due to the direct heat from the sea.... pls sort the bike rental if needed from outside, the contact given by the hotel was not that helpful

Overpriced hotel at great location. The room was just by the sea and had great views, however bathtub was broken, no toilet paper, no swimming pool

The room was beautiful. Service was very neat and clean. Would have loved it if someone was always there at the reception because early morning the reception phone kept ringing. My room was just next to reception. Also, if there was an option of in room dining, it would have been a 5 star stay.
