Who said a good holiday means burning a large hole in your pocket? You can enjoy an equally fantastic break with friends or family even when on a budget, especially when you are headed to a place as fascinating and alluring as Puducherry. Putting up at an economy or cheap hotel, which will provide you with all the basic amenities and rest you require, actually serves as a great way to not only plan a quick and hassle free vacation, but also saves you money which you can spend elsewhere. But if you’re worried about budget hotels not meeting your standards, worry not! Here’s a round up of some of the best economy hotels in Puducherry or Pondicherry, as I like to call it that will ensure your Pondy vacation is a memorable one.
