Most Indians are probably not used to B&Bs but this place is great if you are on a budget and do not have too many issues. "A white house" -that is what la masion blanche means. The house is furnished with traditional Indian decor mostly Rajasthani and Tamil artifacts and antiques.The rooms are modestly furnished with clean and fresh linen... More

We stayed here for 2 days. Awesome old house, with a nice garden outside. Not a very central location, but that doesn't matter too much as it's all fairly close. Owner/Manager was very relaxed and allowed us to keep our bags and use the house after we checked out as we were leaving late at night. Highly recommended. More

Excellent homely feeling. We were total 9 members and took 4 rooms out of six in blanche. And hence the whole house were ours.... More

Nice & cozy little Guest House kind of place. Nice rooms. If you are traveling in a group and need 4 rooms, you could have all the guest house to yourselves. Good hot breakfast every morning cooked especially for you. More

La maison blanche is a sparkling white old house-turned guest house run by a frenchman. Has 6 rooms- basic and clean. Theres a kitchen at your disposal and a cook to rustle up coffee and food on request. The USP of la maison blanche is plenty of landing/terrace space, cheerfully decorated with plants, bright cushions, old colonial furniture, aged photographs,... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, the small place is centrally located within Pondicherry and priced for the budget traveller. The breakfast was good,continental and sumptuous but if you are looking for an Air conditioned room,then here the unit hardy ever worked when we were there. Also,one of our friends room lock was not functional..which was very irritating, and they... More

Indeed, it's not in the centre and you will have to take a rickshaw to go downtown, but you might as well want to rent a scooter so you see more of Pondi (I consider it to big for only walking), indeed dogs bark at night and kids go the next door school, but India is noisy anyway... The place... More

We stayed in Pondi for a week at this guesthouse the beginning of January and had high expectations given the gorgeous pictures on the guesthouse's website. OK, the guesthouse per se is a nicely restored (but badly maintained) old colonial place, but lest's be serious: it's clearly an UFO in that neighborhood. First of, it's slighlty outside the city, so... More

We stayed two days at La Maison Blanche in Pondicherry. The guesthouse is run by a French expat whom I contacted by phone, a very nice guy who's been living in Pondy for 3 years and is happy to give advice to guests. The house is located in the southern suburbs of Pondicherry, a 5 minutes drive (30 Rs by... More
