The hotel was big with all amenities of a 4 star hotel. Breakfast was good. Room and bathroom were clean but need a revamp. The hotel is 10 to 15 minutes walk to The Promenade.

I stay at Shenbaga every time I visit Pondicherry. It is comfortable, safe and clean. Breakfast buffet is excellent! The a/c is great especially on those hot and humid days and nights

Perfectly acceptable stay.
A reasonable hotel in a good spot outside of the French Quarter. Food in the restaurant was good, room a little tired. The bar needs daylight not neon lighting, and so much more could be made of the rooftop pool. A reasonable pool was an absolute must for us, otherwise we would have stayed in the French Quarter - although the promenade really isn't anything to write home about.

Dated hotel used mostly by travel groups. Very limited English speaking staff which is really not acceptable considering they are a four star hotel and charge those prices. Rooms are old but cmfortable

Médiocre
L'hôtel est juste beau à voir sur les photos car en réalité, il manque de propreté et surtout les photos sont très bien retouchées, attention.
Le personnel n'est pas respectueux envers la clientèle, ils peuvent vous faire attendre 30min pour avoir une fourchette ou un verre de jus.
Dans les chambres, la propreté est à désirer et le personnel est très lent lorsque vous les sollicitez.
le comble : la piscine est dangereuse, surtout si vous avez des enfants. le carrelage de la piscine est cassé et peut blesser gravement vos enfants, ce qui a été le cas pour ma fille qui s'est ouvert le pied à en beaucoup saigner. Aucun dédommagement ni aucune action de la part du management resté béat face à cette situation, ils n'avaient même pas de trousse de secours et le comble, ils vous demandent si vous n'avez rien apporté avec vous pendant votre voyage !
Le tarif ne vaut pas le service rendu, si tant est qu'il vous soit rendu un quelconque service. La qualité n'y est pas.
Très déçus de notre investissement.

Great, comfortable experience and polite staff
The service was really good. All staff were polite, and the hotel was kind enough to allow a last minute extension of our booking as well as a late checkin. A simple, clean business hotel with nice Christmas decorations and a diverse breakfast spread. I'd definitely recommend to travellers to Pondicherry

I love the front office and bellboys ('bell men') hahaha. They were very professional. The pondicherry seafood soup was just out of this world and its my greatest memory.
