We went to Pondicherry in a group of 8. Annamalai International was one of the few hotels that was offering a swimming pool at a decent rate. The hotel is pretty good for any kind of any kind of crowd. Since there is a profusion of good heritage hotels in the city, one might want to check into Annamalai International... More

A good family/business hotel. Located 10-15 mins away from the main beach area of Pondicherry. The staff is courteous and helpful. Explore the French Area for best restaurants in the city and avoid eating at your own hotel. Not very far away from the main bus stop where buses for Chennai are available.

I am staying in this hotel since last 5 years and has seen the developments since then. There is no change in the quality level of all services, however the room rents has gone up substantially without any addition to services provided. However their restaurant provides a tasty south Indian food having a very good taste.

Very comfy room and clean hotel. Location not the greatest as it is not in walking distance of much (about 3 km from the French Quarter which is the best part of Pondicherry). Breakfast wasn't too inspiring and a final irritation was the receptionist arguing that I had made a call to Cochin and wanting to charge me for it... More
