Really worth staying at Villa Christophe. Our room had a spiral staircase that went up to the bed. That made my day, because its a little different from what we are used to in the standard hotels. The staircase is made of wood, and after a couple of times of getting used to going up and down, it just felt... More

I was here for a weekend and it was just amazing. It is a very well done french house with a sit out in the back yard with high walls - all you need for a relaxing weekend. The place is situated on a calm by lane just a block away from the sea.The rooms are spacious with all modern... More

This review is a bit late, as we went to Pondicherry in 2010 for New Years. We couldn't get any other place so we booked this. The place is fabulous, stylish and a tad quirky. We stayed at the jasmine room, and loved the stairs inside which led to the sleeping area upstairs. They only serve breakfast, which is nice... More

This is a really fabulous place. Its just a 5min walk to all the restaurants and to the beach. The place is very clean, neat and nice. There are about 2 staff who don't speak English but can manage. The breakfast was really good. The toilet is as big as the room. There is good wi-fi as well.

I went with my 2 other girl friends and we were a bit anxious about the safety in these guest houses for 3 girls traveling by themselves. But as soon as we entered we loved the place. The caretaker Martin was always around to take care of all our whims. We had a sumptuous breakfast spread and started our day... More

Our prepaied reservation was lost. The manager was found with some effort. We got the room (which was decorated beautifully), but stuff disappeared again, coming back for 10minutes only to bring breakfast the next morning. The garden could be nice but had not been cleaned in a while. Rooms were spotless, but common areas lack effort. Overall, a nice place... More

It is clearly emerging that in the recent few days/weeks we have dropped in our standards. This could be because of one of our regular staff being on a leave. We are sorry that arrangements made in his absence are not working effectively. We are taking urgent steps to address the issues highlighted in this review and the previous one.... More
