賈亞拉姆飯店(Hotel Jayaram)

Booked in this hotel reading the so ***y good reviews and seeing photos. Stayed for 2 nights in September 2023. Sorry to say , I am disappointed. Only good thing I can say is Breakfast !! It is very tasty and coffee is amazing !!! Location is not convenient, if you want to walk to places. It is in proper market area. Crowded and noisy . Also the area is dirty. I am not sure about the safety in that area , if you want to walk in the late evenings. Rooms are big and comfortable. But not quite. Our room was in ground floor. We could hear the people talking outside. also the noise from the road too . Shower area not separated and No floor mat in bathroom . It becomes a mess after having shower. They didn't have mat outside bathroom door also ! They don't provide face towels in bathroom. Even if you ask !!! Toiletries (shampoo and shower gel) given were so tiny, not sufficient even for a single use. And they don't refill it for the next day ! So, better carry your own for safer side. No hair dryer and it seems hotel doesn't provide one even after asking. (My second experience in Pondicherry). Service is pathetic ! You have to ask them multiple times to get something you need. Sad part is, there is no guarantee of you getting it. I read lot about their restaurant. Again I am disappointed. Restaurant is so crowded as it is open for all. No policy to accommodate hotel guests on priority. We were made to share table with a couple. That too after waiting for 15- 20 min. Note that, it is a pure vegetarian hotel. Also note, hotel don't serve Alcohol .
