Palais de Mahe - a CGH Earth Experience

We had a wonderful stay. Shyam and the team were courteous, welcoming and warm. They took time to talk to our 4 year old and gave us a lot of great tips on places to eat, shop and visit. The location is fantastic, the pool lovely and shaded and the rooms are beautiful.

We were three adults and two children staying for two nights at this lovely hotel in the French part . The hotel is a new build but a replication of the adjoining historic French building. Small with only 18 rooms , large rooms with simple and modern bathrooms with showers and a tub . We preferred the ground floor rooms which were very quiet and faced a lap pool with a lovely long corridor leading upto the reception . The staff are very friendly and always ready to assist with any advice on sightseeing , restaurant recommendations etc . The entire place is spotlessly clean and although the streets of Puducherry are appallingly busy and crowded, this hotel opens out to a relatively cleaner road ! The street is one of the three that still have vestiges of French architecture and some interesting clothing boutiques around the corners of Rue Roman Rolland . Check them out ! The breakfast is served on the terrace cafe with daily options . A happy spread of choices of eggs , fruits and South Indian cuisine. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious with local sea food specialities . Clearly the best meal we had during our visit as we went to the other highly recommended restaurants as well . It’s a quiet place , calm and a soothing atmosphere.

Stayed here for a short break for 2n in the chambre deluxe in jan 24. The location is excellent, pretty much walking to most places in the white town part of pondicherry and right next to the promenade. The room was very spacious and the beds comfortable. Really loved the breakfast, they had an excellent spread of dishes and we wanted to have a lot more than we could digest :) The staff were helpful and gave us some helpful tips to move around. The exterior facade is itself one of the highlights of the town.

Hotel location is great, clean, well kept. Excellent service, staff is extremely friendly and helpful. One minor issue is that part of the hotel is under construction, leading to noise pollution during day hours. Otherwise excellent hotel. I Highly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Pondicherry.

Fantastic property. Everything walking distance from there. Super friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The GM takes personal interest in the guests. He spent lot of time with us showing us where to go etc. Defintely plan to go back here.

Beautiful heritage property with excellent customer service. Location is beautiful, a stones throw from the Ocean and with many dining options at walkable distance.

An interesting, half-restored French Colonial hotel. The staff were wonderful, helpful and cheerful. Room was OK, though rather dark, except that we were eaten alive by mosquitoes during the night. (this seemed to happen to everyone on the ground floor, pool level.) Food was nice, excellent chicken & mango curry for dinner. Breakfast was a bit more confused as most things needed to be ordered from the kitchen. Overall, pleasant.

A boutique property right in the middle of the French Quarter. Nice pool. Decent food. Friendly. Big room. Has a good spa — not fancy but great treatments. If you seek a quiet, high end hotel in Pondicherry, this is your place. Starbucks is next door….
