Hotel Le Dupleix Pondicherry

The hotel's location was excellent (walking distance from the beach and a short drive from the airport). The restaurant was also excellent. The room was very clean. The staff were friendly. The hotel arranged for cars for local sightseeing, and also a drop to Chennai.

For room 6 the bathroom was not the usual hotel bathroom, but two small enclosures for toilet and shower inside the room, with no proper separation from the room.

Lovely property, beautifully restored and furnished. Restaurant usually quite good, if a little uneven. Spacious room.

Service not quite up to the price. Housekeeping staff thought I was joking when I asked if they had a softer pillow. Dirty breakfast dishes from someone else’s room service left all day on a table outside my room (two days in a row). One day no towels. Another day no soap. Seems like some staff needs additional training. Breakfast mostly good but burned baked goods were on offer more than once.

Just the location

The property has not been taken care of well. The room ha/ a damp smell and the walls also seem to be damp. The fittings in the bathroom are also old and dont seem to work. Our main shower was also not working in Room10. For the price they charge for the room they should work on enhancing the room. All the staff seems to be new and are very confused. The breakfast a most of the days was kind of erratic with only a few tables

The room was cozy, =big enough with a nice veranda and well equipped. the location is exceptional with many attractions in a short walking distance

Although the dinner was fine, the meals in general are too expensive. Note than not all the rooms are equally good. we spend 3 nights and had to move after the first one to a better one

Don't Stay

Old rooms, old and creaky furnitures. For the tariff of more than Rs.8000/night, there is no complimentary breakfast. Proper receipt for the payment has not been provided, only receipt for advance paid was provided. There is no complimentary breakfast even for Penthouse suite. No car park, the car should be parked only in the public road.

Beautiful hotel with a genuine heritage ambience. Very good food. Good breakfast. Lovely open seating places under exotic trees and arches.

A little too expensive.

We liked our old antique UNESCO hotel room, excellent feelingsBreakfast was a Ok, not bad, less choices but good.

Room

It was an old bungalow from the British era.With furniture and ambience well preserved

It was dark and felt a bit moist .could do with some thorough cleaning of floors.

The staff were outstanding and responsive. They put service front and centre. Call out to Padmini the housekeeper who went above and beyond to make our stay better. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to the sights in French quarter. The manager Kavitha is fab! The courtyard restaurant, greenery and I have to mention my favourite cocktail, the green mango margarita!

The first room we had was not great but the staff corrected that promptly.

Location, architecture

Room size is a bit small, regular maintainance should be done for the building

Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Staff were awesome.

Value for money - not great for it.

Location staff food ambience and the old world feel

Room upgrade and cleanliness

hotel staff was courteous and excellent location

can try to provide lift and entrance to toilet had a step which is uncomfortable for elderly people

The breakfast was good, not great. Would have preferred a larger menu

Room no 6 is below par, certainly not value for money. We shifted to Room no 8 after a day and it was great.

Pleasant

Bathroom needs upgrade with cleanliness and fitting. They were falling apart.

Loved the attitude of the staff, very friendly, very helpful, especially Prabhu, Diki, Padmini and Gopal who went out of their way to make my husband and I comfortable. We celebrated my husband’s birthday at the property and the staff out did themselves in making it extra special for my husband.

The property is old and needs a lot of maintenance, especially in the rooms.

Great place. Clean. Spacious. Happy and cheerful staff. Parking on road. Complimentary breakfast good.

Restaurant and liquor is over priced. Splendid alternative budget friendly options available close by.

Beautiful sympathetically restored property in a great location.Exemplary welcome and attention to guests needs.

Beautiful ambience inside out! Awesome hospitality right from reception to the housekeeping staff. Prabhu was of such a great help in guiding us thru in picking right and safe places to hang out. Through our stay he made sure everything was of utmost perfection. Padmini - house keeping staff went an extra mile in arranging medication to our friend. Prabhu - though we were checking out for the day, he took our last min desperate request for addressing flat tyre issue.

Mosquitoes!

Location. Helpful staff. Safe for family.

Very old property, needs maintenance Room had a very bad odor. They were hastily cleaning the room when we arrived. Water leaking from the bathroom ceiling. Tub skip mat was stained and disgusting
