Where to stay in White Town / French Colony
White Town / French Colony hotels & accommodations

Visiting Pondicherry was in my bucket list. and we wanted to play tourists to the hilt. Exploring the French colony was one of them. The options of staying in the isolated area with private beach didn't appeal and we were on look out for something that would give us top class treatment and in the middle of white town. Promenade fitted the bill. And we did not regret it...

Great room, and even the restaurant has amazing food. Great location in the center of White Town and walking distance to the beach and attraction points in White Town/Pondicherry. Staff is friendly as well, and the hotel is flexible and helpful with checkin/checkout

I had stayed here in July 2nd weekend. The Staffs are very well trained and very hospitable. Really love this place. The rooms are very neat and tidy. If you are looking to stay in White town in pondicherry and not very particular about beach view, this is best place to stay. The restaurant here is awesome! Excellent food. This place is just few mins walk from the beac...

We (as a couple) stayed 4 nights in this beautifully restored hotel. We loved the feel of the room - high ceiling, lots of light and gorgeous heritage features. The food served at the restaurant (lunch & dinner) was very good - along with very friendly service from the staff. A bit more variety during breakfast would have been good but that's just a very small negative...

The hotel is well located in white town and close to beach road. Room is quite small but it is enough to sleep. Both room & bathroom are cleaned. For our rooms, it was quite noisy. People are available for any issue and act very fast. The restaurant is excellent. The food is totally amazing and delicious !!! But service must be improved : it took long time to be served...

The hotel was a great find and we were very pleased by the accommodation, friendly service, and ideal location for seeing the sights in White Town. The rooftop terrace restaurant in the evenings with a cool breeze off the sea was the highlight for us with excellent food at reasonable prices. The only downside is the room was a bit noisy in the early morning from hon...

This is a large french style villa converted to a modern boutique hotel. We stayed in the "North Side Story" room which is situated on the first floor next to the well maintained pool. The room was well maintained and we had our own balcony which had a lot of creeper plants handing from the top along with some other plants and small palm trees inside. The balcony has t...

My stay at Richmond was the highlight of my holiday @ Pondicherry. Richmond is situated bang in the middle of the French colony and it is at a walking distance from every local sightseeing attraction. You can soak up the local culture just by walking the lanes around the hotel. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly and they had easy and flexible check-in and ...

The hotel is located in white town facing the ocean. The location is great. It is very near to Arbindo ashram, Gandhi statue, French War memorial, Auro Beach. The staff is very friendly and will try their best to make your stay memorable. We stayed for a day there. My special thanks to Mr. Rajesh for answering all our queries and help.

Very close to rock beach, french colony, aurobindo ashram, kind of equidistant from auroville beach n paradise beach. Sea view rooms are not worth as they r not sea facing, only the balcony will have a side view of sea, i m happy i didn't pay extra for that. sea is so near i could just walk 10 secs to get the proper sea view. Overall it is worth.

The look and feel of the hotel is pretty great. It is pretty much a restored old French villa which is maintained exceptionally well. The rooms have a touch of colonial French feel to it. The hotel is right on the main beach in Pondy and located at an ideal place for a stroll out on the beach or a walk along the streets of the heritage town. Stay was quite comfortable ...

Excellent reception / lounge area in well restored Tamil house with antique furniture & super tiled flooring. Two super delux rooms are excellent, well worth it, Two delux rooms are also good bu beware, three rooms are on two floors, small living space downstairs & small bedroom upstairs, Rooms are cramped because of stairs within, so avoid these. My main complaint i...

we stayed here for 5 nights in Pondicherry, location couldn't be better, centre of white town between MG Rd and Mission St, very friendly staff, room cleaned, clean sheets and towels every day, good A/C, nice Indian breakfast or continental toast & jam, and the cleanest lift I've ever seen

We spent one month in India, mostly in the South, and Maison Perumal is so far the best hotel we had the chance to stay in. Amazing crew, really helpful ; lovely rooms ; great food freshly and daily made (including breakfast) ; possibility to use for free the swimming pool of the 'sister hotel' Palais de Mahé located in the French quarter or to book some Ayurvedic mass...

Good French style hotel with nice and clean rooms. Good location – in the heart of White town, close to Promenade and nearby several restaurants, etc. Staff guy was unobtrusive but kind, he gave us lot of useful information. He arranged a taxi from Pondi to Chennai airport for a good price (2900 rupee) which was much cheaper than we got from Chennai to Pondi. We defini...

A beautiful hotel right in the heart of White Town. If you wish to have a proper French experience in Pondicherry this is a good choice since the hotel is actually a 150-year old Franco-Indian architecture. The beach is just a few kilometres away. Bike can be rented in the next street for a very cheap price. Both French and Indian restaurants are nearby. All other tour...

My wife and I were coming to Puducherry from Chennai for a days break. I had come across this hotel via agoda. Location and reviews seemed good and I decided to go ahead with the booking. We reached the hotel aroind 1 30 pm. Check was quick and efficient. Room was a little small but very neat and clean. The cupboards looked a little worn out in places. Location is ver...

While i was searching for hotels near White town in Pondicherry, I have come across The Bull Boutique hotel and hesitantly i have done booking and once i reached the place to my surprise everything was so wonderful that i loved my stay. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The restaurant and food was too delicious, and the beach is just 500 m away from the hotel an...

Excellently located property, staffs need to be a bit more polished in profession. Entrance gate to be managed better, especially the errant 2 wheelers placed at entry point in evening time. Rest is good, only 1 (minus) point that Refrigerator / Electric kettle was not present in our family Quad room #107 as to what was mentioned in booking detail. Also to mention that...

My intent was to stay in a hotel close to the beach and White town. The white town is poorly maintained and is a disappointment. Dilapidated building and poorly maintained roads. The beach is nothing but a sea front road and pedestrian path. Very crowded in the weekend. Over Pondicherry is a disappointment and not worthy of a second visit. There are more beach options ...

The rooms here have amusing themes based on music and movie stars. We saw they had a Bob Marley room and instantly booked in. 😆 We ended up in Michael Jackson room 🤨 but it was clean (relative to most 2/3 star places), with working PowerPoints and AC, kettle, tea, coffee. The bed is firm but comfortable. My recommendation for westerners is BYO toilet paper. Breakfast...

I booked 2 Family rooms.Reached hotel before booking time,they gave temporarily 2 rooms to stay for free for few hours and later checked in to the family rooms, gave extra beds without any additional charges , as we are 8 members with kids. The rooms are not great like Star hotels, but relatively good, clean rooms, clean bathrooms, nice working AC's , water heaters....

Hotel is good clean and well placed.. However, never book the rooms with breakfast.. The breakfast is limited... With no options The retaurant is run by different management and there is this coupon system, i travelled with my 4 year old and they refused to serve him breakfast without the coupon... It was the most embarrassing discussion i had in any hotel i have staye...

Very nice place, a bit more expensive than usual in Tamil Nadu but it is rather normal in Pondi. A bit disapointed by the Japonese restaurant down but the room is clean and quiet. Very good location, next to an extraodinary french bakery and really close to the White town. Globally I recommend

If you want a taste of bad service, please come here. To give a fair review, the location is not bad and the place is clean. The hotel HAS NO RESTAURANT, so AGODA PLEASE WAKE UP. How can you give this hotel a 3 star rating. The breakfast is a tiffin set as they say in india. Means, its packed and only available from 8 to 9am. REALLY A WASTE as how the Indians would be ...

We arrived at around 10.30 on the 10/1. The place is a little difficult to find as the entrance is only accessible by one of the small side streets. But upon arriving reception was friendly & courteous & helped us with our bags and luggages. The only grimace was all food options closes at 10.30 and the only option left was a dominos pizza about 3-5 minutes walk away....

This hotel is absolutely magnificent! I was in India from NYC for business and went here as a weekend getaway with nice colleagues. This is without doubt THE BEST HOTEL IN PONDICHERRY. The staff were so helpful and pleasant, and the rooms were magnificent. The building was the Governor's Mansion form the 1700's until the 1950's and is infused with incredible history. I...

We booked and paid for a room in advance for two nights but were told on arrival we had no booking. We were tired and my partner was not feeling too well after our journey. I had to have hysterics and be demanding before they finally gave us a room. We were glad to leave the place.

My husband and I left Chennai just before the terrible flooding (Dec, 2015) and were fortunate to be able to stay at de Pndicherry for two nights before heading to Kumbakonam. De Pondicherry is a beautiful hotel built into an authentic French Colonial era house. The manager, Mr. Jayaraj, has been with de Pondicherry for 22 years and his experience is evident. Everyt...
