- Anjitha (2/5): Below Average for this price - The room was spacious.Wi-Fi connectivity was good and worked without issues. The staff were polite, supportive, and helpful. The room was very average and felt unsafe due to the door condition. It appears to be an old room with minimal renovation. The bed was uncomfortable, and the bathroom was very bad—no pipe, only a rusty shower.

Zentrale Lage Kurz nach Buchung Aufforderung erhalten, sofort eine Anzahlung bzw gesamten Betrag zu zahlen, andernfalls werde storniert. Das widerspricht den Angaben bei Buchung, demnach keine Vorauszahlung zu leisten ist.
Sehr schlechter Stil und sollte dringend abgestellt werden! Ich habe auf die Zahlungsaufforderung nicht reagiert, was keine Konsequenzen hatte.
Ansonsten:
Straße vor dem Hotel bis gg 22 Uhr ziemlich laut
Rücksichtslose indische Zimmernachbarn können einen die Nacht zur Hölle machen
Lichtschalter nur an der Tür, also nicht vom Bett bedienbar
Am Bett kein Licht
Klobrille hält nicht offen
Wasserkocher ist gefährlich, schaltet nicht ab und man verbrüht sich beim anfassen
Frühstück auf schöner Dachterrasse einfach und lieblos
- Wayne (8/5): Friendly staff and good location - Location in a good neighbourhood Close to tourism area
- Khan (3/5): -
- Fanta (1/5): -
- Bandan Kr (1/5): Very dissatisfactory - Stupid staffs except one guy. Even luggages also had to carry by ourselves. No stuff or porter is there to bring in luggages. Please don't book this hotel. Room rent is higher in comparison to Room and facilities. Bad hotel.
- Akula (8/5): Pricey but stay was ok - Location
Staff. I had issue with my booking. So the manager really helped me. No lift. The room was on the 3rd floor. The steps were very narrow. It was very difficult to carry the luggage.
The breakfast was pathetic.

- RAMADURAI (9/5): - Very convenient and comfortable stay. Staff were good Parking place not available
- Khalid (8/5): Ensemble pas mal - L'emplacement avec les commerces et les restaurants à proximité sont un très bon point. Le logement est vieillissant mais est plutôt propre. Pas d'ascenseur et escalier exiguë. Personnes âgées ou présentant un handicap moteur, cet hôtel n'est pas pour vous. Pas de stationnement attitré mais pas de difficulté à en trouver en soirée (mois d'août). Images de l'hôtel et des chambres non contractuelles sur le site(bâtiment et chambres vieillissantes) mais reste tout de même correct....

- Karteek (5/5): It is fine but not recommended for old age person. The steps are really narrow. The breakfast could be better. The hotel - I like the location of the property Room service and cleanliness. The bathroom is not up to the mark. The breakfast is just for name sake. It is not upto mark.
- Agnieszka (10/5): Good place and comfortable rooms - The staff were extremely friendly and professional, making our stay very pleasant. The location is convenient, and the rooms are spotless, comfortable, and spacious. Everything was great

- Austin (8/5): Very good - Close to centre town
- Suman (6/5): Pleasant -
- Venugopal (10/5): Good Experience - Good and clean room. All the services provided by hotel are good and staff are very courteous. Two single mattress are given instead of one big mattress
- Shoba (2/5): Disappointment! - Only the staff tried to make it pleasant but the Manager totally destroyed it by his rudeness. Hotel was by roadside, no lift, narrow stairs, they were not prepared for accommodating 3. Management was rude. Booking.com should rethink it's tie up with Treebo. Their systems are v poor, they cancelled our booking for the second night.

- Gokulabalan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Austin (8/5): Very good - Prominently placed and close to beaches, shopping, French influenced redturants. Overall excellent No lift available for seniors, no food available on orders. Breakfast has to include choice of food.
- Mohandas (1/5): Bad - . The place was hopeless. First of all there is no parking space and when asked they asked to keep it in the road side. Room was so congested with no basic facilities. Toiletries were not provided and washroom was pathetic
- George (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kersingh (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location within marker near to beach staff also helpful clean rooms, recommended
- Kailash (3/5): Good location but not worth opting for breakfast - Location Morning breakfast, in spite of requesting to change the breakfast menu. They served the same breakfast for 3 days .
We extended our stay for one more but they didn't give any discount for extended stay instead the charges were more .

- Prasida (5/5): An Okay Stay - I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, the experience was good. The location is definitely a plus — easily accessible and conveniently situated. The room was quite spacious and comfortable for the stay.
However, there were a few downsides. The hotel lacks a lift facility, which can be inconvenient, especially for those with heavy luggage or mobility issues. While the bathroom was functional, it could have been maintained better — there was a noticeable smell that affected the overall comfort.
On the brighter side, the staff were courteous and helpful throughout the stay. A special mention to the manager, whose polite and professional behaviour truly stood out.
Despite a few areas that need improvement, it was a decent experience overall. With a few upgrades in cleanliness and facilities, this hotel could offer even better value for money.
- Chikoti (8/5): Very good - I had great experience and the rooms are neat.
- Dash (8/5): Very good -
- Anitha (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place to stay with friends and family. In a walkable distance ,beach. Temple ,shopping and everything.. had a lovely time there.. spacious room ..safety for girls who travel alone or with friends.
- Ganeshkumar. (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent Customer service Nil
- Simon (10/5): Fantastic stay at Itsy Red Lotus - Staff were fantastic making many local travel arrangement for us and advising where to eat and get local provisions. Location is great, in the hub but not too noisy. We were a party of 4, staying 3 nights and we would recomend this hotel highly for the price.
- Yuga (10/5): It was good to stay and had a great time will visit again - Property was amazing and the best part of property was it was in heart of City There's nothing as such
- Harini (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious rooms
- Rameshkumar (5/5): Passable - Room service was not good. They provided one water bottle only between 3 persons. Smells badly in entrance. No lift. There is no intercom system between room and reception so every time you have to go to reception for every thing
- Gourab (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tim (9/5): Great Stay in the Heart of Pondicherry - Red Lotus was a pleasant surprise! The room was spacious and clean (especially by Indian standards), making for a comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, which was a huge plus. The location is excellent—right in the center of the city and just a short walk from major attractions. What truly stood out, though, was the reception staff. They were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist me with train ticket issues. Their attentiveness made a real difference. The room was also well-equipped with both a fan and air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay even in the heat. I’d definitely recommend this place for a few days. The only downside was the bathroom. While the toilet was fine, the showerhead was rusty, and the water didn’t seem very clean.

- Ryanbeifus (6/5): Pleasant - Rooms over looking main road, not acoustic sealed, so traffic noise is there, good value if you get it on special for under rs2k, heart of heritage town great location both for shopping and walking to white town. Bathroom had black mould. Breakfast was good.
- Mukesh (9/5): Superb - Location perfect dated but ok Taking luggage a pain.
Hot water pressure low
- Girish (1/5): Bad -
- Davordorjee (3/5): Very nice hotel in a horrible location with lots of cellphone towers all around - The hotel is one of the best I have been in in Pondicherry, very clean and comfortable, reasonably priced, kind staff, nothing is wrong with the hotel itself. One big deal braker issue for me is the vicinity of way too many cellphone towers, for those sensitive to EMF is a dissaster, the emf pollution is of the charts, couldnt sleep at all, tired all day. Second thing I did not like is they asked me to pay full amount before coming to the property treathening me they will cancel the booking if I dont pay, which is in violation of the agreement
- Cheryl (8/5): Enjoyable stay - Room was clean, bright and spacious. Breakfast was tasty and service was good. Location was very good. An English movie channel would be appreciated for those who don’t speak Hindi. 😁
