“Lovely and very helpful staff ! Always here if need be :-)
The location is very practicle but of course noisy because in the center, in front of a busy road. The room was ready for our very early checkin and we got an upgrade in a bigger room. Clean rooms. Thanks a lot !”
“I've travelled to various hostels around the world, and this is hands down one of the best hostel experiences I have had. Every detail of the stay at Ostel was beautifully planned and executed by the team.
1. The staff is incredible - they are immensely warm, kind, and committed to ensuring that guests have a smooth and enjoyable experience.
2. The location is right on the beach! You could take a dip in the water every day if you wanted. Serenity Beach is a 30min walk/8minute auto ride, where can surf, skate, watch sunrise/sunset at the beach. It's almost too good to be true. I had a chance to surf every day during my stay at Ostel.
3. The cafe food and staff are awesome. The food was delicious and felt just like home. Great flavor and variety.
4. The property is gorgeous - there's a courtyard, beautiful rooftop lounge, large windows, lush greenery, and a pool that faces the beach.
5. They have great in-house activities. I had a chance to attend a music jam night and a tango night. They also have fantastic recommendations for events, lessons, and activities in the area. The team was also very supportive in helping me and other Ostel folks with transportation to different areas - whether by rented scooter/bike or auto.
6. P.S. There's even a weightlifting gym a 5min walk away if you're a gym rat like me.
The whole experience is incredible. Don't miss out. If you're into meeting good folks - Adya, Arjun, Anil, JP and so many more lovely souls in the Ostel team will make your trip unforgettable. If you're looking for a quiet solo experience, rest assured this is also a great spot for you with accessible solo activities and restaurants all around Ostel.”
“Unpack is a relatively new hostel with friendly hosts and a lovely vibe. The mixed dorm was very comfortable with excellent AC at night. The shared spaces are perfect to hang out and chat with other travellers. The hosts are able to arrange scooter hire to get around the area. I would highly recommend Unpack for a stay in Pondicherry.”

“Ideal location in the French quarter. The swimming pool is a big plus as the weather could be very hot. The room is quiet and spacious. We highly appreciate the staff at the lobby which was very helpful and provided many good advice. The hotel arranged us the trip between Chennai to Pondicherry for a very good price.
We tried their restaurant which was good and not too spicy.”
“The breakfast was excellent , it had a continental and Indian selection which was delicious .
The fresh fruit and Juice was a nice finish to a scrumptious breakfast.
The room was of a large size , clean and comfortable and room service was excellent.”
