The French Villa

This hotel only has 3 rooms. Ours (3) was on the first floor. While it was spacious with an ensuite bathroom, it was the hardest bed I have ever slept in! There was no hair dryer nor a plug for the bathroom sink. The shower was spacious. The included breakfast had lovely fresh fruit (papaya, pineapple and banana), omelette, freshly squeezed juice, yoghurt, toast and croissants plus either masala tea or coffee. Our room faced the street, so was a little noisy, but the aircon and fans helped to drown the noise and barking dogs out. A number of restaurants and the beach are within walking distance .

Book this one if you can! Beautiful clean unique property with gorgeous decor and a**osphere. Owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly, will help you find transportation/driver, etc. Excellent value. We seek historical places when we travel and this ranks at the top. Excellent breakfast included. Outstanding location with great restaurants, bakeries, shops, etc. as well as beach promenade nearby. We liked it so much, we extended our stay by nine days and hope to come back!

The little gem !!! We felt the colonial history The building is full of history very charming place at very affordable price very location right in the middle of the French quater Very helpful staff Breakfast was delightful

A lovely boutique hotel located at the french quarter in Pondicherry. Place has amazing host & staff, they prepare different home made continental breafkast everyday. However the main USP of the place is the traditional architecture and how well they have maintained them. Any photography enthusiast will be blown away at the opportunities of clicking pictures at this place.

A truly lovely place to stay if you are visiting Pondicherry. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful decor, light, cool and clean. Appreciated small discount as solo traveler. Conscious of single use plastic and have filtered water available. Top breakfast! Highly recommend.

Amazing hotel, a wonderful stay. Great location, beautiful building and rooms, comfy bed, hot water and AC, a great breakfast. But the best thing about it was the people. The owner and staff are the kindest most helpful people I’ve ever stayed with. I asked about a walking tour and they connected me with a guide. I asked about bike hire and the owner lent me his own bike! On the last day the owner came with me to the train station early in the morning to get my ticket as it was my first train journey in India. They also gave me a packed breakfast which was very kind as it was before the usual breakfast time. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, it made my stay in Pondi so lovely and comfortable.

Located in the French quarters of Pondichéry, near the best restaurants, cafés, close to all the places one wants to visit (Sri Aurobindo ashram, Heritage places, museums, Botanical garden etc). The hotel is quiet, perfectly clean, with excellent breakfast. Smiling, efficient and kind staff. Mr Bascarane, the owne/***ager, gave me the best tips and even accompanied me when I needed an Indian SIM card or a train ticket ( because sometimes it is not possible to get it online, and the Railway Station has unusual opening hours). Always willing to help, his advice was more than precious. It was a wonderful stay.

This is a hidden gem in the heart of the White town. An old bungalow with 4 rooms. Everything is antique here including furniture and might be overwhelming for some. The rooms have high ceilings and all rooms are airconditioned. This is a place to use as a base for sight seeing or spending the day out and may not be the best for staying the whole day in the room. Most places are walking distance and one of the advantages here is the availability of parking just outside the entrance. The staff are excellent and service oriented and do accommodate all requests. The owner Mr. Bascarane visits twice daily and can be a big source of help on things to do etc. Breakfast is decent. The main charm of the place is the price. I dont think you will find a place in this range without compromise on quality

I visited Puducherry with my family. We chose Les Hibiscus because of all the good reviews; and we were not disappointed. It was such an absolute delightful experience staying here. Right from the time we arrived till check out, everything was impeccable. Bascarane and his team extended a warm welcome and made sure we had a pleasant stay. The rooms are spacious and the property itself is so beautiful! The breakfast provided was also delicious. It is also located well and a short walk from the Promenade beach and everything within White Town. Strongly recommend this property if you’re looking to stay right in the heart of the place and yet want a calm and silent place.
