            Everything is great here!”

            From food to location to staff to cleanliness, everything was great. Staff very helpful, disciplined and always there to assist you with a smile, especially the manager and receptionist. Will surely revisit with family. Also, beach is just hop-skip-and-jump away :)

            Very good”

            The main attraction of this place is its location. It’s perfectly situated between the beach and the cute streets of the white city, with loads of shops and nice cafés within walkable distance. The downstairs is charming. The rooms and shower rooms arr basic - the shower is a little below expected standard, but it is clean and the staff is lovely. It’s a nice stay overall.

            Great Location and good food!”

            We had a good stay at the Hotel. During heavy rains the staff understood our concerns and upgraded room to suite. Really supportive stay and excellent location on the white town.

            Our Pondicherry Rendezvous!”

            The property is very close to rock beach and right in the centre of French colony. The rooms are large and cosy. The touch of french/ colonial architecture and memories is quite prominent and retained. The facilities are basic, if you want to have a holiday away from your normal TV and experience using facilities from the 70-80's in the room for the retro feel, this is the place. One miss is the lack of car parking facility as there is no space available and you need to park your car on the road, finding space on the road is also a pain. The staff are good, especially the staff serving food at the restaurant are courteous and always willing to oblige your requests. Had a good time with family.

            Best located Heritage hotel”

            Most conveniently located (literally 4-5 min walk from the beach promenade) in the heart of white town. Also, Thanks to the location we were able to literally cover everything that is a must see in a day and on walk. Auroville requires transport from here. Next coming to the property it is a 17th century french building that has been renovated to hotel standard. The place including the hotel architecture as well as the design and historic furniture and art elements in and outside the room constantly remind you of your shared space with history. We prefer local food when we travel and the place didnt disappoint. They have an inhouse french cuisine chef who prepares some nice table'd hote french food daily. Breakfast was decent. Finally, Mr. Suresh was honest, straight forward and e
