The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of White Town, surrounded by charming cafes and a stone's throw from the sea. My stay was comfortable and convenient, but the lack of ventilation in the rooms was a downside. The hotel staff was always available to cater to my needs, offering top-notch service. However, the dining options were a bit limited, although the freshly baked croissants were a delightful touch.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were beautifully furnished with a private balcony, the lack of ventilation or exhaust fans made it uncomfortable. The service was attentive and available to fulfill requests promptly, but the absence of certain amenities was noticeable. The location in the old French city center was charming, although the common areas could use some improvement. The Indonesian dishes at the restaurant were a highlight, but overall, the dining options left much to be desired. The facilities were adequate, but a few upgrades would enhance the guest experience.

The hotel offers a mixed experience with some positives, like a balcony in the rooms and close proximity to cafes, but also some drawbacks including issues with no ventilation or exhaust fans in the rooms and toilets that didn't flush properly. The service was attentive and responsive, with various convenient offerings, while the location was ideal for beach lovers and those seeking Chettinad cuisine. However, the dining options seemed lacking, with only smoked meats available. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel did provide a pleasant stay overall.
