The reviews on Tripadvisor aren´t wrong about this place. Sabine (and Snoopy!) greeted us when we arrived and showed us to the rooms. Sabine has really put her stamp on this place, and spent much time and patience into turning it into something very unique and special. I think we may have been the only non-French staying here, but this... More

Highlight of our holidays in India, by going through the door you enter a little paradise with plants and birds singing. The rooms are perfect, decorated in colonial style, quiet and very clean. The staff are very nice and the owner friendly and helpful. Very nice breakfast. Very well located but quiet also. We were sad to leave. More

This GH is located very close to the beach and restaurants such as hotel De l'orient, Pizza Hut, La Cafe, etc. Run by a very nice French Lady, Madam Sabine. My family enjoyed the stay here very much.This is an old French-style house, but very well maintained. .... Sumitro Saha. Kolkata, India. More

We booked our stay at the Coloniale Heritage Guest House online, after a lot of apprehension. Once we reached the place, we were smitten from the first minute. We were three women travelling for a long weekend to Pondicherry and wanted it to be perfect. The three of us shared one room (le studio) at the guest house, which was... More

We stayed in "Le Studio" and loved the room. It's filled with knickknacks, including figurines in the bathroom. The bathroom also had a ceiling fan, which gives you a sense of how hot it can get in Pondicherry. Some bugs found their way into the room, but the big mosquito net helped. The whole place was lovely and well-located. The... More

If you are after a place with flat screen TV in your room, the kind of bland-but-nice atmosphere of a modern hotel and a swimming pool outside, don't go near the Coloniale Heritage. There is no flat screen in your room, in fact, no TV at all (but there is Wifi), and the atmosphere is not bland, but quirky. Step... More

La familale has a sitout and a spacious bedroom.. while the other room had a private verandah but room as such was small.. Overall with the sitout, private verandah and comfortable beds, we had an amazing time.. Its really close to the beach,... More

We hadn't booked at this hotel but were lucky that they had a free room. The price of the room was very reasonable for what it was. The hotel is a lovely old colonial building hidden behind a wall on a quiet street in the french quarter. Rooms are decorated with antiques, bright furnishings and staned glass windows, ours had...

I stayed at the beautiful Coloniale Hertiage hotel for several days and truly enjoyed my stay there. My room, the suite, was OUTSTANDING! It was BEAUTIFUL!! I highly recommend staying in that room should it be available. The room is filled with beautiful antiques and I would just lay in my bed (still adjusting to India time) just staring at... More
