Want to take a moment and express my *sincere gratitude* towards the hospitality and the experience I had during my two-night stay. From the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout our stay, everything was great. I’d like to give a *special mention* to *Ms. Semontika* who ensured the surprise my fiancée gave me was special and memorable. Her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail made a difference. Overall, the stay was unforgettable and I/we look forward to visiting again in future. Kindly extend my thanks to Ms. Semontika and the entire staff for making our *LEELA visit wonderful*.

The property is a bit dated, however, the staff is amazing. It started with the driver meeting me at the airport and ended with the driver dropping me at my destination in Pondicherry. Ajit Anurag, the Concierge made the experience worthwhile. Everyone I interacted with was extremely polite and courteous. The personalized attention extended into the restaurant, where they accommodated my every request. Even though it wasn't on the buffet. I could have stayed there longer, unfortunately I had planned an overnight, on my way to my final destination .

Rock hard mattress, too much plastic, pool closed
While this hotel looks amazing and makes for great photos, I'm sure, I didn't find it particularly comfortable. I had even requested a softer mattress at booking time, after a previous experience of a bad sleep, but I got a very hard mattress again. They gave an extra duvet to cushion the mattress but it didn't help much, and this was in a sea-facing room. The bedroom does not have a five-star feel, like the Park Hyatt or ITC Chola, both of which I also stayed in recently. They have amazing beds, and ensure the best sleep. Also they both have stopped using plastic, but in this hotel I lost count of how many small plastic water bottles I was given. My biggest disappointment was that the pool was closed, for an extended period, for reconstruction. This was never stated when booking. It was the main reason I had decided to re-visit this hotel. Never again. I could have got this hotel last week for only 90 euro, but I choose the Park Hyatt, at twice the price, knowing their pool is open and that I will have a very comfortable bed and good sleep. The breakfast is good. Constant flute sound in lobby area gets tedious after a while. Didn't see anyone sitting around lobby, so felt quite soulless, even though it looks amazing.
