FabHotel Radha Residency
The hotel is a 15 minute walk from Serenity beach. The property is on the road and easily reachable by car. The room was really clean and with a small balcony. I had the complementary breakfast and it was a really good south indian platter. The staff were really good and the service was also good. I didn't find any bad thing about the property.

We came to stay here for the 2nd time based on our 1st experience around 4 years back however, it was not the same this time. Location and staff was fine but the rooms condition were very bad and there were lots of power fluctuations and the AC was not working properly most of the time and nobody was there to help. During the day time lift was also not working. I would like to suggest them to keep maintain the standard as per charge.

Not worth the price – great location, but major drawbacks I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Pondicherry, and unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations, especially considering the price. Cons: The rooms are poorly lit with no access to natural light, making them feel quite dull. None of the windows open—they’re jammed shut—and attempting to open them exposes you to pigeon feathers, droppings, and a strong foul smell. There is no dedicated parking for cars, which is a major inconvenience for travelers driving in. Pros: The rooms were clean and tidy, which was appreciated. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its prime location. It’s within walking distance of major tourist attractions like Rock Beach, Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry Museum, Crafts Bazaar, Promenade Beach, White Town, and many charming cafes. Overall: Unless location is your sole priority, this hotel doesn’t offer good value for money. Basic amenities and comfort need serious improvement.
