Our wonderful stay at Villa Shanti”
My wife and I stayed here for 4 days. This is post the pandemic. We are stepping out on Busienss and reluctantly booked this hotel keeping in mind, maintenance of the property post the lockdown & sanitisation process. My God, we had a such a wonderful time. The service was brilliant. Everybody was accommodative. We felt like Villa Shanthi was home. For a few days we were the only guests but still they were functioning the kitchen and other services on full capacity to just take care of us. Like the saying goes, beautiful people makes it a happy home, I was actually told to consider this my home many times. Further I would like to saw the following - 1. I saw people sanitising other rooms using surface disinfectant. Their house keeping was wonderful, well trained and equipped to handle hospitality post the pandemic era. 2. They served a set breakfast to the room, Indian and Continental. But let us choose, mix and match between the menu items. We can ask for more and they will oblige with kind faces. 3. I would like to appreciate the management for bringing all the teams together and training them. It was absolutely amazing to see happy faces everywhere. 4. I would like to appreciate the following people for making my stay comfortable, safe & happy. Mr Jeeva for allocating my room and kindly showing alternatives, calling us and ensuring we reach the town safely. Ms Marie for bring very kind and friend like. Mr Divakar for providing excellent service with all smiles. Ms Avelie for the smooth check out and promising the best possible rate for the next time. All in all we loved everything about this place and I strongly recommend staying here. Cheers!

Perhaps the best place to stay in Pondicherry. ”
I have stayed at a few places in Pondicherry. All in the White Town. Villa Shanti stand out from all others. Its tastefully decorated with attention to details. The authenticity of the French Colonionism reflects from the architecture, furniture and the menu. The staff is welcoming, courteous and very helpful. The menu is short, but covers all that once can ask for. The food is excellent. The only glitch is that on a busy weekend you may struggle to find a parking right at the hotel, but if you are willing to walk a few hundred feet, then you should get one. The room prices are reasonable and the menu is also aptly priced. If you are getting a room here, then its much better to spend some more than to settle for a much inferior experience around the corner.

Wonderful Stay at Villa Shanti”
The difference between good and excellent review is the service... The hotel staff make sure we feel as if we are at home - The receptionist in particular were courteous and patient enough to address all queries... The location was good as it was close to Promenade Beach... The food was great - I liked the concept of Ala Carte for breakfast instead of your regular Buffet Breakfast ensuring there is no wastage of food... The room had a vintage feel and you could feel that they were placing tremendous importance on eco friendly products in the room... I would happily recommend anyone to stay at Villa Shanti - However the only drawback I could think of the hotel is it didn't have a swimming pool

Best Hotel in Pondicherry”
Villa Shanti puts a smile on your face as soon as you walk in through its tall door. The staff is ever so courteous and loving. The food is extremely comforting to taste. The location is extremely central to everything. Stay here if you need to relax, eat right and are a no fuss traveler, or with a family. You will appreciate Pondi a little more from this vantage.

lovely minimalist property”
loved the place for its minimalist yet stylish architecture and decor. The rooms are smartly designed and the courtyard lovely. It s all a bit cramped but then space is an issue in the heritage district. The staff is wonderful and the food great. Location wise you could not be better placed. Overall i would recommend it.
