Hotel De Pondicherry , pondicherry

One of the pathetic and most irresponsible hotel management I have come across. We did our booking for 1 night for our weekend plan in booking.com, we were trying to call the hotel to check if there is parking available since morning to evening on all possible numbers mentioned in their site, booking.com there was no response. That is where the doubt arose and we contacted booking.com who was also clueless as to why the hotel is not answering their calls too. Then we found one of the reviews wh...

An old Library of Alliance Franchise ( originally an old bungalow ) converted into a hotel. It has limited number of rooms with basic facilities - a decent bed , a small table. No room service and tea/ coffee maker. However the house keeper provides tea / coffee if asked for when he comes to the hotel in the morning for serving breakfast. Breakfast is minimal - fruit juice , french bread / ordinary bread , egg , seasonal fruit , tea / coffee served on the terrace converted into breakfast space ....

Booked this online for three, and they gave us a suite with two rooms, neither of which had a window! When we asked for another room, they obliged, but refused to cut down on the room tariff. Comfortable rooms, but they don't have many windows, and bathrooms have no ventilation, and instead ventilate into the room. Weird. Also no one at the reception most of the time, and we were left waiting at most times.

If you have an eye for heritage and history like I do, then you will like this place. A cozy 150 year old heritage bungalow belonging to a French gentleman that is close to the main promenade & in the heart of the White town. The rooms and common areas have a lovely pop in the face color which makes the place bright and cheerful. Great location and everything is a close walk so spend many a mornings and evenings strolling in the lanes and the promenade of Rock beach. They have a nice restaurant ...

the place is decent very close to the promenade ...basically at the end of promenade..rooms have a bit of paint peeling but nothing that hinders ur stay.for the cost of INR 2500 per night is its a good deal.Plus point is there is a restaurant ..not the hotels but attached to it so u can have food or chill.Down side ....the booking includes breakfast but breakfast is 2 slices of toast,butter,jam,coffee and fruits...other properties have more options...but again for the cost its not bad.
