"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 tourist spots are easily accessible. There is a beautiful terrace in the hotel. The only thing people might find difficult about the hotel is guests are expected to return back before 11PM. Check-in at 1200hrs and check-out at 1130hrs the next day. But you can still use their lobby and the common washroom after check out. So if you wish to keep your bags somewhere after the period you can leave it at the lobby, and get back when you wish to collect it. You can as well use the common washroom, which is very clean, after your check-out. If it is Pondi for a day or two, this is really a good choice. "

"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 honking cars, barking dogs and banging hotel room doors but that's part of India and difficult to escape from. A notice on all room doors to guests to avoid banging doors my help."
